Sorry the update is slow, phone battery low and mom and dad hadn't eaten all day.

Chris's surgery was successful. They got the mass and re-sected his intestines. It was a tight ball and not into anything around it. There was a lot of local inflammation and his lymph nodes were enlarged. 3-5 days to see how well he heals and make sure he doesn't leak. 5-7 days on the results of the biopsy from the lymph nodes and the mass.
Major relief on the first step. Now healing.
 
*whew* doing the happy dance that they were able to get it all and that it wasn't invasive. Sending healing vines to our sweet little buddy.
 
Oh Thank God!!!!!Thanks for the update- continuing prayers and vines-I hope you can sleep tonight, and thank goodness you don't have any diabetic cats to worry about at home. Hugs and scritches to all of your crew and hugs to you!
 
Cautiously optimistic and excited. L&L Land vines are very powerful. More are flowing your way, for Chris' recovery and good results from the biopsy. Get some rest!
 
Sending more vines and good wishes for you and Chris!!

Hope he has a quiet night full of healing and lets the magic of the LL vines soak in good and deep!

Hugs to you and the family :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Melanie,
Just read through the whole post, oh my, what a couple of days you've had!! SO HAPPY to hear that things went well during surgery!!
Fingers and paws crossed here that Mr. Farley continues to behave and heals up well :kiss:
Sending bucket loads of healing vines from Manitoba!
:cat::bighug:
 
Sending healing vines, hugs and prayers that everything turns out fine. I hope you and DH find time to rest during all this. I know how stressful things like this can be. Thinking of all of you.
 
So glad to see surgery was successful and the mass was not invasive! More vines are sent for ChrisFarley's recovery. :)

I use Blue Pearl for specialist care too. :)
 
The update from the surgeon this morning was excellent. He was talking, walking around, eating well. Little drainage so a good sign he is healing well. Should go home tomorrow.

We just left from visiting him. He was quite his usual goofy self. Ran around the room, talked away. Then you could tell he got tired and flopped over and started to snore.
We'd forgot to discuss food last night so he was getting kibble and Whiskas with gravy :O We left his food for him and told her no more kibble.
Heading home to do meds on our other cats (haven't gotten keys to that sitter for the new house). Hate being that far away, but he needs to rest so we might as well take care of the other kits.

((((((Melanie))))) and gentle hugs for ((((Chris Farley)))) It's to be expected that he's still a little loopey from last night(been there,done that! I'm so relieved to read your report this morning--Continuing mega vines and prayers for the big guy! Hugs for you and your DH.
 
Wow - you've been through the wringer - soo happy that things are turning out well - hope he gets to come home soon - Hang in there and sending hugs and prayers for Chris
 
Whew! Good news on the successful surgery and that ChrisFarley is up and about. More vines and paws crossed for a good biopsy result.
 
So glad to see an update on Chris. Hopefully the high carb foods won't do any harm - he may need everything he can get to help with healing.

Sending continuous healing vines. And more prayers for good test results.
 
ChrisFarley is on his way home! It's my birthday and I couldn't think of a better WA to celebrate.
His drainage tube came out yesterday because everything looked good. He is down to just a cone to keep him off of his incision.
He looks so much better. His eyes a wide and bright, not squinting in pain. They said he was pottying well. He started the road trip with an attempt at a bath in the carrier. No playing for 2 weeks, but I bet he'd be game. I forgot my purse at home after our "quick" trip home yesterday to see the other kids and do meds, so no meter to see if his BGs are recovering with the infection and mass out.
Pathology results will be back next week.
Thank you to everyone pulling for Chris!

What a wonderful birthday present for you! I hope it was otherwise a very happy day.

Sending smooth recovery vines for ChrisFarley. Bet you're sleeping lots better tonight!
 
Chris is back spending the day at the vets office :( He woke me up before 4 yelling up a storm in his room. He seemed agitated, unable to get comfortable, and vomited a couple times this morning. He's vomited a few more times at the vets.

His xrays look ok to both the local vet and his surgeon and the surgeon thinks we are past the peritonitis stage of the surgery, which the vomiting was the big alarm bell for. His temp is good so that is a relief, it was high the whole time prior to surgery. His BG checks have been 106, 109, 116 the last few days. So creeping, but pretty much the same.

He is getting IV fluids and we will stop the clavamox, was giving him diarrhea. If he is still vomiting at the end of day and they decide to transfer him to the e-vet to get IV fluids into the evening/night, they will order an ultra-sound and have his stomach checked out more thoroughly.

His pathology results and the cultures on his stomach infection should be back tomorrow Dr Yu thought. Maybe we can get an antibiotic that will work better for him off of the results of the culture and praying those pathology results are good news. My boy deserves a break.
