well the surgery went well, Frack is home and seems to be doing well. Eating like a horse, already went to the litterbox and is cleaning herself. She is supposed to have a cone on but I took it off because she was really upset with it on and cried. I just have to watch her carefully to make sure she doesn't nip at her stitches.

I am relieved (and 3000 poorer)

good to hear!

Glad to hear of her successful surgery.

Good to hear your cat is doing well.

Congrats. What was the surgical procedure performed?

My cat is laying on my lap as I write this and it's good to hear yours is all good

Good to hear it went well Nick.

Congrats. What was the surgical procedure performed?

she had her anal glands removed. Common on dogs, very uncommon in cats. Her glands were impacted and the ducts were scarred from years of being expressed and they could not be opened. The glands were hardened and it was making it painful to go the litterbox, so she could not poop. The secondary issue was that her tail went lame (like pick it up and it dropped like a stone when released) so there was a possibility that there was nerves being damaged or palsy as a result of the gland issue.

one of the major variables is that she is diabetic so it made it a critical event to have taken care of.

Good to hear it went good! And good idea with keeping eye on her since cone isn't on, I did that with mine we his boys were taking from him (neutered) because he hated the cone so I just carefully watched.

Good to hear...... 

Good to hear.

 

I spent $1500 or more on a losing battle against cancer with a cat I had. It was a monster Maine coon cat, and only about 9 years old so I wanted to try to give him a chance.

Glad it all went well, even though your wallet is lighter. That's the way it goes sometimes. We do what we feel best.

 

My three felines send their regards and best wishes.

Happy the kitty is doing better. Maybe out the cone on overnight while you're sleeping? Last thing you want is for the stitches to come off and cause another trip in.

I'm glad everything worked out for your cat . 

yea, I put it on because I had to run out and do some errands the little bugger got it off twice.

Thats great, so awsome to hear!

look at all you mean gun owners all worried about a cat

 

Glad it all worked out fine and he's home

Great news.

It's a good feeling. Don't worry about the cash.

 

We spent a few k on our kitten after a botched surgery. It was good money spent.

 

Ending up taking her to Tinton Falls to fix her -they were great. My wife was a wreck the whole time.

 

Where did you go?

she went to newton animal hospital. Dr Bladek, he is a good dr. Sher hates the cone...I put it on and 10 minutes later its off.

That's great that your cat is well again. Some people might think its crazy to spend the money like that but bless you for doing it. I recently lost my cat I would clear my bank account to get him back.

Been there, so glad to hear that your cat is well. My last one passed two years ago. Been reluctant to get another because he was the coolest smartest cat I ever had.. Miss him very much. 

Excellent news! Love cats, got 3 of 'em

Good to hear the surgery went well.
