moonvoiceWhat do you mean she got her drip out? She's high as a kite! - To which we said 'oh, it's nice to see she's as mischeivous doped up as she is sober.' She had removed her drip. Here she is, shaved everywhere, spacey. She needed a fentanyl patch for the pain. We're looking at between $1500 -> $2000 for costs; provided nothing goes wrong in recovery.
Which earnt her the nickname Fentanyl Kitty
High as a Kite - You can see on the chart that at the earliest, we're not going to be getting her home until tomorrow evening. She gets tested on foods tomorrow. Right now it's costing us $1500, but with observation, pain meds, drips and so on, it's looking to cost us closer to $2000 by the time this is all over and done with. Yes, they offer payment plans, but they ask for 50% upfront, which is still our savings.
SpaceMaybe - When I started talking to her soothingly, she started kneading her paws and reached out to me. The vet tech said I could stay all night and talk to all the animals! Poor Maybe. She had no idea what was going on.
Maybe Van Ravenstein - They spelt our last name wrong, but okay.
Problems - To the left you can see the two obstructions, they are pom poms (each about the size of a fat almond) from a cat toy that cost $10.00 - she played with it for two months before she decided to eat the pom poms yesterday. She threw one up. Because we caught it so early, no bowel had to be removed, the vet was very pleased. On the right you can see the complete ovary and part of the uterus that the vet who sterilised her missed. Because of this, it is likely she was producing some level of unspayed cat hormones, and may have even gone into heat, without being able to do anything about it.
Oh baby girl, we'll see you soon - when I said goodbye to her, she started kneading her paws again. I wish I could stay.
Long day - Waiting for Dr. Barry to come out and talk to us about what to expect. The days when she's going to show signs of infection and leakage are days three to five - when we have her home - the symptoms will be throwing up and abdominal pain. It's unlikely, because we caught it so early, her bowels were 'fresh', and they seem pretty on the ball with care. But it's good to know. The surgeon who actually worked on Maybe (and noticed the ovary/uterus lining) was called Ariadne. Which I liked. I said thank you to the surgeon, but I'll be saying thank you to the deity too.
Thank you guys, for all being so amazing with this stuff. We all say thank you. Well, except for Maybe, who probably has the munchies or something, or is right now trying to remove her drip, like the Maybe we've come to know and love.

Date: 2010-05-19 10:20 am (UTC)The vet nurse and I kind of laughed though, about the fact that Maybe ate not one, but three of them (she threw one up). As the nurse says, 'what possesses a cat to go 'hmm, that was hard to swallow, better eat the other ones.'
ALL of our cat toys are getting binned, aside from the Kongs. Sigh. Actually, we could probably give away the new packets of catnip mice to people with older cats. Or just keep them for when Maybe is older herself and less likely to try and kill herself with toys.

Heh, cats and couches and claw marks. They are three things that go together well.
