More UT problems for Gatsby

[Moesha]

I am so glad to hear the surgery went well. I hope this fixes his problem! Keep us posted.

I'm so glad to hear that Gatsby's surgery went well. They'll probably keep him for 2-3 days. I think that my Storm was ready to go home on the 2nd day. I hope that he'll have a speedy recovery and will never have any more UT problems ever again. Please continue to keep us updated when you can and take care.

We had a long (2 1/2 hour) drive home in a nasty rainstorm, but Gatsby is back home at last. I've got him confined to a fairly large dog crate for now, to keep him from trying to jump onto the desk or his cat tree. He hates his cone and doesn't much like the crate, and he's all kinds of woozy from the pain meds. But I think he's glad to be home.

Gatsby, sending healing wishes your way. I hope you never, ever, have any more UT problems! Meowmie, can you give your precious boy hugs and kisses from me?

Gentle hugs and kisses delivered.

I'm a little worried because he hasn't urinated since he's been home, so we'll be visiting my local vet this afternoon if it's still no go by then. Other than that, he's doing well. He didn't want to drink anything last night, but he's been drinking some today, and he's eating pretty well.

He's having a nap right now. He may not like the crate much, but the extra-soft new bed I put in there appears to be acceptable.

Gatsby had his bladder emptied by the surgery, and I imagine the anesthetic and other meds dried him out quite a bit. Certainly call your vet about this, and ask how long it should take for him to have a normal amount of pee.

Glad to hear he is eating and drinking...hopefully all systems will be back to normal in no time. Give that handsome boy some lovins for me.

How's our boy doing today? (And you, too, Penny.)

Welcome home, Gatsby! After some sleep, maybe you will be up to eating some food and getting lots of love from your mom!

You just need that cone for a few days til you heal up some.

I have seen collapsible cones.

I think there are other brands...but these look comfy.

Prayers that Gatsby heals quickly and well!

I'm glad to hear that he's home. When I had to confine Storm to a cage, I put an old sheet over it and this made him feel more secure. He did cry a lot the first few nights though so I put him up on the bed with me and held him securely all night so we could both get some sleep. I think he was almost 9 at the time and now he'll soon be 14 so it was quite a while ago. I hope that everything will go well. Good luck.

Poor boy just needs some rest and lots of love from Mom and I'll bet he'll calm down. That was quite a drive for him. (and you)
