Rocket & his Mom
Member Since 2010
hi all,
prayers being sent for Jan still.... and for Garland and for all the kitties that are struggling....sorry if i can't name them all...i pray for you regardless....
Rocket went to the vet yesterday....he was feisty and got quite the workout and he gave them a workout too...that said...i was told he moved a bit while they were drawing blood so he is pretty bruised on the back legs (where they take the blood out)....his hind legs are weak...and overall he is weak himself....
i bring the food to him and he does not go to it....he looks tired and on the way home from the vet yesterday he was not impressed...usually he lets me pet him as he tries to sleep on the passenger seat....other times he goes to the back seat and sleeps off the excitement....but yesterday he was cranky and not impressed with this bean as he sat on the front passenger seat he kept hissing at me....and when we got home and i had to take the bandages off he was oh so cranky....quite the attitude...
today i got a call from the vet...urine culture shows negative for infection but soon after he finished the baytril (last Sunday) i noticed he was grooming/licking constantly and fighting me the fluid session....so she said to avoid it being indeed an infection they can't find per se...he is being put back on the baytril :sad: which is the ab that makes him not eat on his own while i'm at work...
dh can not pick me up at work to take me home at lunch for me to syringe feed Rocket...as i know he will not eat all day while i'm not here...so i will have to make alternative arrangements... :sad: :sad: :sad:
this is stressing me out as i foresee what is coming on Monday....
bloodwork results should be in on Monday or Tuesday....
for now...come tomorrow morning we start the Baytril again... :sad: :sad:
he looks pretty tired....if i don't bring the food to him he doesn't really go to it....i have sent dh to buy more syringes so i can pre-fill them for when i come home at lunch from work and so i can syringe feed him....
at the clinic one of the vet techs that had seen him 2 weeks prior did mention to the vet (not his reg vet) that he was his feisty cranky old self...so that was good news in itself....
we got home from the clinic and he went straight to eat then went to drink water....hopefully what's rest of the weekend he can relax and decompress from the vet visit....it looks like it took a lot out of him this time around....
so that's where we are now....starting the abs again...he will most likely have lack of appy and i'll be on overdrive for 2 weeks (not that i ever take any breaks ;-) )....
as always if you guys can keep us in yor thoughts and prayers....
it is mentally and physically draining...but he is still here with me and currently on the balcony....and giving me attitude the odd time....but worth every minute and second of it all....he is still here...with good QOL...and that's my main concern....
prayers going to all of you as well....Iorwen....i am still praying for your mom....Sienne....i'm still praying for your sister....and Barbara...i'm praying for your horse (the name escapes me at this moment)....
this is the latest....
