Bad news unfortunately. They did MAJOR surgery this morning, and they had to do a tremendous number of things. He had a mass in his intestines that didn't show up on any ultrasounds, they removed it and are sending it for biopsy, they had to remove part of his stomach and reroute his gall-bladder. The doctor says there is a chance he won't make it through the night. I desperately need all the prayers we can get for this. Honestly, I don't have much hope any more. I'm on my way down there right now to see him. PLEASE keep us and especially Fluffy and Gus in your prayers.
OMG. I couldn't send enough well wishes and condolences. Just know that there are people on this board who are really upset about it. Other than that I do not know what to say.
Well, I have visited Fluffy and talked to the Doctor. Unfortunately, I am not optimistic. No one is. He really didn't look very good at all, and he's in very critical condition. The veterinarian said that most cats don't last 12 hours after this surgery. It's been about 4 hours so far, and he's still hanging tough. If he can make it to tomorrow his chances increase dramatically. The next hurdle is the three to five day hurdle. If he can clear that, he'll be okay. But unfortunately, I don't think he will. I really don't know what to do now. I'm going to stay up all night by the phone in case the vet calls. It's rung three times, and each time I just about have a heart attack. I really hope it doesn't ring again. I'm just so scared and so sad about this. We took Gus down there to see Fluffy, and I think he knew how bad things were. I keep telling my family that it's going to be okay, and that he's going to make it through this and that God will take care of it, but I am not so optimistic in reality. I wish and pray for his recovery, but I just don't think it's going to happen, unfortunately. Thank you again for all of your prayers and support. Please keep them going for Fluffy and for my mother. Fluffy and my mom are best friends -- he really is just another child. She is going to need as many prayers as anyone.
This is basically the same thing that Fluffy went through. He had a growth on his small intestine that they had to remove. Some of the small intestine was removed, and it was re-attached to the stomach. I just pray that Fluffy has the same fortune as your cat, ZRB.
Well, again I want to thank everyone for their wonderful kind words of support and all of your prayers. God heard them but he still took Fluffy from us at around 11:15. He was the most loving animal there ever was. Rest in Peace Fluffy +
Allow me to be the first to express my deepest condolences. I am truely sorry to hear that Fluffy did not pull through. You and your family are in my thoughts because you have a lot of adjusting to do.
Very sorry to hear it, Vengeance. I'm sure Fluffy will be missed for a very long time in your household, and I'm sure he'll miss being there for a long time as well. RIP Fluffy.
I know how it feels, Vengeance. I would try and find a new cat so the griefing won't be as bad...just my advice, of course.
Heartbreaking....I had a cat that looked JUST like Fluffy die on me once. He was my first pet after I moved out of my parents' house. Sorry Vengeance.
Sorry Vengence, This thread read like a book with a sad ending. Hopefully Fluffy will find my dog Chase who passed last month, and they can chase raccoons together. Blessings to you and your family...
