Spices is having surgery this afternoon. They don't really know what's wrong with him, but it looks like one of his anal glands ruptured (I noticed a red hole beside his bum this morning). So it might have been that all along, and nothing to do with his urinary tract. I'm a worried mommy. :o( Also because he's been licking it so much, there's a fair bit of skin in that area that's dead, which will have to be removed. My poor baby!
The vet said he had a block of time between 3:00 and 4:00 in which to do the surgery, and it's 2:53 now. I'm nervous. I hate having them put under anesthetic. Hopefully all will go well and I can pick him up at 5:00 as planned.
Send good thoughts this way, please...
ETA: The surgery went smoothly. The vet thinks it was an abscess caused by the other cat (Mischief) biting him in a fight. Not my good little boy! I can't believe that! He's usually the one who gets bullied by Spices! I guess enough was enough. :o/

Thats great it was nothing too serious!!
ReplyDeleteI know, I feel so much better! Poor li'l bugger's gotta wear a cone for the next two weeks. I imagine he will be Not Impressed with that. He's very good at letting us know when he's Not Impressed. :p
ReplyDeleteI'm behind with reading, so sorry to hear about spices, glad everything went ok with the surgery and you got him a new cone you all like better. Hope he mends quickly so you can rest and not have to stress. I know how it is to have a sick kitty :( Glad to hear you're doing better too. I've missed ya.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn. :o) Yeah, I'll be glad when he's out of his cone. The nurse at the vet said maybe just a couple of days, as long as I'm there to watch him. I tried taking it off this morning, but then he went in for his stitches, so I had to put it back on. I'll be glad when everything's back to normal!
