Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, but I am so depressed about my kitty, Cleo. As many of you know, Cleo had surgery on Dec. 24th to remove her very enlarged spleen. She also has CKD. Her recovery seemed to be going pretty well and she was eating on her own. Over the last few days, her appetite is gone and she isn't eating anything on her own. i started syringe feeding her 2 days ago. She has also not been able to have any bowel movements and urine output is lower, although vet does not believe it is a UTI. Brought her to the vet on Friday and she was given a laxative that should have worked almost immediately (same kind of stuff we get for a colonoscopy). No luck -- not even one little poop. She is also is on Cerenia, Ondansetron and prilosec. She obviously has some nausea because she will go to her dish and then walk away. the Cerenia has worked before, but not now. She is also on Buprenex for any pain she may be experiencing. She had a touch of pancreatitis in the past, so we think there is a possibility there is a flare up due to the surgery.
I am calling the vet this morning and may have to bring her in for an enema to see if that may help. Also, he mentioned prednisone and I am willing to give it a try. She is hiding under the bed alot and just is not well. I am very scared for her.
Simon is worried too -- right now he is lying next to her, keeping her warm.
