    Surgery for Rutherford

    Rutherford has blocked again. He will have the P.U. surgery.

    He goes in tomorrow morning, but I am unsure as to the exact day/time they will do the surgery. My vet admits to not doing this surgery and wants to find him a proper surgeon. She isn't sure if it will be done tomorrow or later in the week, but she will keep his bladder empty in the mean time.

    I was afraid of this. I have been watching him like a hawk. We have done all we could to try to prevent the surgery, but the blockage was just too large to disolve in his bladder and go away.

    Unblocking cat $$$

    P.U. Surgery $$$$$

    Rutherford's sweet purr..........priceless.

    But you are right about the Rutherford purr being priceless and I know you would do whatever you had to do for him - no matter the cost.

    Hang in there Rutherford, you'll be all better soon!

    Jen, I'm so sorry to hear that Rutherford will need surgery. With Storm I used a board certified surgeon and he didn't have any complications and seemed to heal up faster than Cirrus had.

    Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. I'm sure that everything will go just fine.

    I must say that I also was worried when I heard that Rutherford only arrived to small and medium peeing

    I keep my fingers crossed for him and the boys will cross their paws!

    Don't forget: Boots, Fister and Sky live very well with the surgery

    I don't have a complete update at this time, but the word is that Rutherford peed a good amount on his own before they had a chance to work on him today. So, I am to pick him up at 7pm (ET) tonight and the vet will be explainnig our options (or plan of action).

    So stay tuned.....

    I can't wait to get my boy back and see what we are going to do next.
