Rocket & his Mom
Member Since 2010
hi LL Family,
thank you so much for taking the time to send my boys good wishes and keeping them in your thoughts and prayers....
i will give an update but here is the condo that was opened by Georgia (thank you for doing this for us) http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=81204
Rocket
I came home at lunch and since Darren had been home in the morning he gave him a snack but mainly ate the chicken dust off...he ate willingly out of his dish while i held it high enough for him....this afternoon when i got home he was alert but he is still not wanting to go into the spare room...which is a new thing of his as of this new ordeal....i was late giving him his abs and so i waited until pmps and to my surprise and shock he ate his entire meal and even asked to go on his beloved balcony which he didn't at lunch time....i let him be outside for a few minutes while he groomed but i know something is off as he was trembling a bit....i know it is cold out but it could be various things that made him do that as in the past....so i picked him up and brought him inside....he was meowing in discontent and gave me attitude. Darren said that was a good sign and not to jump into a decision that i will regret forever....
that said...i am as always monitoring him closely and tomorrow as i said i have the apt with his vet and i will go discuss where he is at and what if anything they can help me with in determining better (as they should know him by now and can advise further on what to look for as we may be running out of options)....
he looks for me and when i get close to him he looks at me with distrust as to say "what are you going to do to me this time?"
i'm not going to lie....it has become challenging (more than before) but i think the fever and the abs are not helping any....the fever is gone.
At least for tonight that was a glimmer of hope and put a smile on my face....
Comet
His surgery took longer than expected. they aspirated the nodules in the liver and one sort of tore and he was bleeding internally and they managed to stop it hence the long surgery time and the long stay. We went to see him last night at around 10:30 and to my surprise he was alert and moving. he drank lots lots of water...but then got agitated cause he wanted to come home with us....it broke my heart to leave him there but i had to trust they would take care of him and would call us if anything happened.
he didn't eat anything until this morning just a little bit. the area is pretty bad where they took the lump out...the surgeon said she fears it's cancer but we will await pathology reports on all the stuff that was taken out...
he is home now. Darren picked him up this afternoon. they said he has done so well to their surprise and was given the green light to come home....
there is one problem
because of his tummy issues as he has been dx with colitis, they can't Rx any abs so we have to be incredibly careful in keeping the area clean at all times even when he goes poo cause there could be infection....so for now it is wait and watch
the results will be another matter....
last night when i got the call about the liver issue and the fear of cancer....my heart just couldn't take it and for the first time i saw Darren cry cause Comet is his boy....and to me both Rocket and Comet are my boys....
he was sent home with injectable bupe as dogs don't take the liquid in the mouth as well as cats....so this place is in hospice/palliative/ICU mode....
call me nurse/zombie Claudia....
i'm a mess....physically, mentally, emotionally spent....but i will keep on going for both my boys....
i truly did not want to be at work today....and tomorrow both my boys will be home alone until i come check on them at lunch time....
please keep them both in your prayers....
my prayer request is to find wisdom and strength to do what's right for them both....
much love to you all and thank you for caring....it is much appreciated....
Sincerely,
Claudia
