Soo, uhh, me, Bowie, are havin to take over da blog again. Cuz my big brofur are at da emergency vet again. He had a really good day yesterday, but today wuz not a good day. Da mommas noticed he wuz havin some problems straining again. So da mommas took him to da vet. Just da regular vet dis time. She said she thought he wuz blocked and needed to go to da emergency vet. So off he went. Again.
They got him unblocked. But his bloodwork wuz not good - his glucose wuz high and his kidney values were off. And we don't know why he reblocked. Da mommas has been giving him da urinary food and even putting extra liquid in it to make shure he wuz drinking. Our regular vet seemed to think he needed an ultrasound - she are worried he might have bladder cancer or something that are causing this. And both da emergency vet and our regular vet menshuned a perineal urethrostomy. Which momma are callin da Caitlyn Jenner speshul, but don't worry, Travis are not gonna be changin his name to Caitlyn.
Tonite da mommas went to see Travis at da emergency vet - dey actually let em in which wuz nice. But dat makes momma worried too - she hopes they were just being nice and letting em in and not letting em becuz Travis are that sick.
But for tonite Travis are ok. He are resting at da emergency vet. We all just want him home and feeling better. I are keeping his bed warm for him though.
We're sending purrs for Travis crossing all our paws and fingers that they find out what's wrong and he gets the help he needs. Peeing girl style certainly would be better than all these trips to the vet.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it still might come to that.
DeleteOh, dear, this is NOT good at all. Poor Travis, to have to go through all this again.
ReplyDeleteThat surgery does help, I have known 2 kitties who did well afterwards, though it is a hard thing to undergo.
Sending heaps and truckloads of Purrs and POTP. Pawyers too.
Yeah, it's still an option if I reblock again.
DeleteI'm so sorry that Travis is still blocking! I'm purring lots for the vet to fix him up so he can come home. <3

ReplyDeleteFanks, it's still an option if I reblock again.
