Good Morning LL! Wow, I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted last. I'm a little worried about Kibby. He's been spending most of his time under the bed for the last few days, which I guess is to be expected. Yesterday morning, however, he asked to go outside, and when his request was denied, he retreated to the window perch in my son's room, so he could at least see out there. :lol: All this occurred before he had eaten breffis, but even so, I took it as a good sign. I brought his breffis to the perch, and he only ate 1/2 of it. He then came back up and under the bed. Checking on him with my flashlight, it looked like the bottom end of his incision was a little more swollen, so I took a pic and texted it to the vet. Dr said give it a couple more days, and if by Wednesday it's still the same size or bigger, to bring him in. I also mentioned his appetite being a bit off, as he hasn't been coming and asking for food, but had been eating when I served him where he was. Again at dinner last night, he didn't eat all of his food, but around 10 or 11pm he came out and ate a whole can then. I was able to look at his incision close up, and when he was standing up, and it doesn't really look any bigger to me than it did when he came home from surgery.
However, this morning, he again did not ask for breffis, even tho cans were opening all over the house for the others to eat. I found him in the bathroom cupboard. He hasn't hidden in there at all since the surgery. So I served his breffis with his meds in pill pockets on the top to him in the cupboard. When I went to check on him, he hadn't touched it. I added Fortiflora, which he absolutely loves, and that got him to eat the pill pockets, but still didn't touch the food. He went back under the bed, and I figured I'd try another flavor of food. So I put that under the bed for him, but he showed no interest initially. I left it for about 20 minutes, and went back to check. Well, the bowl was empty, but Cleetus was under the bed, too! :shock: So now I don't know who ate it. I'm not sure whether to take him in or wait it out another day. I did call the vet to update him. He did eat pretty well last night. So I don't think he's in danger, and I'll watch him throughout the day.
I'm taking myself back to the dr today. My cough is gone, but my ribs are still pretty sore, and I'm tired of being in pain all day every day. They are definitely getting better, but I don't know why it's taking so long.
Great to see Celi on the board! Hope you all have a wonderful day. We are sending vines and prayers to Roni and Moonie.
