Well we went to the vet this morning and he was dehydrated again. They put him on a food stimulator and did another iv…
I was concerned why he keeps getting dehydrated which is because of the food. They sent us home and told us if he’s not eating by Monday we are going to have to see what is going on with him.
He hasn’t ate yet today, but the vet sent me with special food and a syringe to try to help him eat. Hopefully he perks up tomorrow.
On another note, after the IV this has been the first time I’ve heard my normally vocal baby meow. I almost cried tears of joy.
Well he’s finally home! Thanks for all the well wishes and advice! The first night he walked around and ate and drank. All seemed fine. He was hiding a lot. Today took a turn he’s refusing to eat and drink today. I’m not sure if this is a common thing or just him. The vet requested to see him tomorrow morning because of this. Hopefully it’s something simple since I’m extremely worried about my baby.
On Saturday January 20th, I opened the door to let my cat Zazu in. He was laying down not moving and barely able to meow. Jonathan picked him up and stood him up and that is where we seen the leg completely dangling and him not walking on it. Unknown of the damages or what happened we rushed him to a vet office. They took a series of X-rays and let us know his leg is completely gone. It was turned completely ruining all ligaments. They shaved him down where we could see where he got attacked. My aunt called while waiting at the office to inform me they have seen a large abundance of coyotes in the neighborhood. When the vet returned our options limited to repair, amputation, euthanize. Well this was our baby and euthanize wasn’t an option but repair wasn’t in our budget. The next day, we found a place to amputate but then something didn’t feel right. Our family vet called me and was extremely concerned. My cat isn’t walking, he isn’t eating and he isn’t using the restroom which no one ever bothered to discuss with us. We rushed him to the family vet Monday morning. Zazu was dehydrated and needed fluids and a few days hospital stay. Blood work came back crazy which was to be expected. They kept him not knowing when they where going to amputate his leg. Tuesday morning, he’s starting to perk up but still unsure about when the surgery will be and they wanted us to call at 5 to see what they decided. At 5 they informed us that they amputated and he was doing wonderful. Now waiting to see if he’ll be released tomorrow.
