    Porch Is At The Vet

    Kevin had to drop Porch at the vet this morning on the way to work. During the phone tag he & the vet have been playing today, he left a message that Porch is blocked on both ends. They will be keeping him over night. Porch is the cat that had megacolon and surgery to remove most of his colon. I sure hope this isn't going to be so serious Porch can't be cured. Another dreaded wait for a phone call! Neither Porch nor us needed this right now!

    **UPDATE**
    Porch has stones and is constipated. They are hydrating him to see if he can pass the stools on his own. If not, they will try medication then an enima. They will also do something to rid him of the urinary tract stones. We can visit him when we drop Kurby off tomorrow morning. Boy is all this stressful.

    Lisa I thought my plate was full but it is nothing in comparison to yours!!! I'm so sorry this is happening all at once! Its bad enough when it's one but you have had three in a row! I don't know how your doing it all. I don't know if it helps but you are always in my thoughts and you and the furbabies are always in my prayers.
    Hopefully you are having a bad luck streak right now and this is it for a very long time!

    Thanks Lisa! It has all been very stressful. We're just praying they're all going to be OK. I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers.

    I sure hope Porch will be ok. He's been through so much already. And they say things come in threes, so hopefully everybody else stays healthy an nobody drops off anymore unwanted kitties at the park, and hubby and the vet finally connect and work calms down and life can finally get back to some sort of normalcy for you.

    Good Luck Porch!

    I swear I don't know what is going on. I guess when you have as many cats as we do, things are bound to happen. Just wish they'd give us a break and not happen so close together. Kevin will visit Porch when he drops Kurby off this morning. If they can't get Porch to go on his own, this could be bad news for Porch. He doesn't have much colon left, so if what he has isn't working, I'm afraid Porch won't pull through.

    The vet said this morning Porch peed on his own! Now if he could go #2 on his own this would be so good!

    My goodness, Lisa ... this is so frustrating for you, I'm sure! It sounds encouraging though with him being able to pee pee on his own. Come on kitty, you make poopies for us!!!

    Hugs to you Lisa!
