PT Prayers for Pyka, please. Post - op update #16, #18

About 1:30 mom phoned. Pyka is out of surgery. They had to go through the roof of his mouth to do the work. He had one transfusion, and they are watching him in case he needs another one.

He's on IV and a morphine patch - and we can have a few to take home. He will be there for at least two days. They have a 24 hr ICU.

And his ear is fixed.

Thanks for your prayers....still appreciate them as Pyka begins healing.

Oh Catty, I'm just now reading this whole ordeal! Poor Pyka....and I can only imagine the stress this has caused you and your Mom.

I'm very glad that you decided to seek a second opinion and that the sir jury is overwith. I pray that this "fix" will do the trick and Pyka will be back in good health soon.

This is the place he is at...is there anything these folks WON'T work on? WOW!

They also offer a couple of credit cards for Vet use only, and can set a person up with Care Credit.

AND pet insurance.

Mom called the hospital tonight to check on Pyka. He was resting, blood work showed all vitals are stable. (Resting = morphine patch. Thank God!) The surgeon, Sheri, thinks it will be several days before they hear a HONK out of him. Yep, that's what his MOW sounds like - we call it a "honk". One of his nicknames is Honker.

There's some bleeding from the nose, but that is to be expected.

So far, so good. Poor baby!

Check the link in #15 and have a boo. Not a lot of pics yet, as they just moved into the new place late last year...but there is a local news clip about it.

I'm glad to hear that Pyka's ear surgery went well. I hope he makes a quick recovery. I hope that his nasal surgery will also go well or were they able to do this today as well? Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Friday morning....Mom just phoned. Pyka is resting comfortably and all, but the surgeon said he is very SAD...and could we come see him? Well, of course!

It's nice that even a surgeon would know that!

We have been asked to try and feed him...if he can eat, then he won't need a feeding tube. And Mom is bringing a small blanket she cut for him, so something smells familiar.

He'll come home some time this weekend...Mom wants to make as sure as possible that the bleeding risk is over.

And of course, his fursibling will hiss at him for a few days until Pyka smells normal!

Just catching up on Pyka's situation. What a whirlwind of activity! I am glad to hear he is coming around and wants his MOM!!!
