Diego - Bladder Stone - Surgery Jan 27

[Catty1]

Prayers that all will go smoothly! After Oscar's surgery last November I went to pick him up, anxious to how he was. The vet and techs cheerfully assured me that he was great - high as a kite from the painkillers. I tried to get his attention with him in the carrier and he was OUT THERE. I said, "Okay, Stoner Boy, let's go." After a couple of hours at home, he was more himself.

I am sure Diego will be feeling much better, if a little stratospheric.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that his surgery will go well and that he'll recover quickly. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Diego is out of surgery and his recovery is being monitored. Everything went as planned and there were no issues. The stone will be sent for testing to find out exactly what it is and what action we need to take going forward so he doesn't get another one. I will pick up my boy at 6 pm so once we get home and settled I'll provide a further update.

Again, thank you all for the prayers and good thoughts. Once again they worked and kitty-boy is going to be ok.

Love you all!

Wonderful news! Thank you.

Great news! How is Diego doing tonight? Is Cali hissing cause he smells funny?

Gentle hugs and cuddles to him.

That's two PT households (yours and mine) who are breathing easier tonight. Good to hear that prayers were answered and all went well for Diego (and his mom!)

I'm so glad your Diego's operation is over and he is doing good.

He's home and none too happy!! He has to wear a cone on his head for the next 10 days.

He didn't want any water, but was clearly hungry so I gave him a little bit of his new food. If he keeps that down he'll get some more in about an hour.

The vet tech showed me his stone. Nasty looking thing, rather flat and round. The edges were very rough so no wonder he was a hurty boy. They will send this stone out to be analyzed.

Cali is keeping her distance from him as he's rather growly and running into everything with his new hat. She is a little hissy with him but has been warned if she doesn't quit it she'll be sporting a hat too. I have another cone for her head to ensure she doesn't try to clean him up or bother him. And as we all know, two hats are better than one!

I'm glad he's ok and home now. Although I don't expect to sleep well tonight as I'll be listening for him to ensure he's ok.

Thank you all for your care and concern for my boy!
