Melly is home and doing well~

We brought her home yesterday morning.
She is eating and using her box.
She's happy to be home and is being her usual affectionate self!
Thanks for thinking of her everyone!

Back at the vet till Monday~

Melly kept on a strainin' and didn't pee a drop at home. I didn't see her eat or drink either.
So back to the vet she went.
They had to sedate her and put in a catheter. The lovely cone collar is a must... and you know how they dig wearing those! She looks so forlorn and miserable.
She did eat some, and is getting fluids intravenously so they can really flush out the urethra, which is very inflamed. I'm thinking that's all it was this whole time, and possibly the surgery wasn't necessary. They said there were no real stones, just a lot of sandy grit that she could have passed. (Had she not been so inflamed for so long?!)


On a lighter note, I got some goodies at a garage sale Friday. Will share soon!

Eight hundred sixty three dollars and 60 cents later.....

We have one P-Oed cat.
She does not like the vet.
At all.
But now that she's home she is getting back to her normal, lovable self.
The vet said she was urinating fine there, but since I've had her home for a few hours, she has tried to go several times and I see nothing in the box. I'm trying not to worry at this point, I'm sure she has some funny sensations going on. I'll be sure to monitor it though.
Other than that she seems fine, and is getting around well. Thanks for your concern folks!
Right now I think she is high on pain meds, and is looking for a mouse that isn't there....
