ahhhh...

Chewie Floss Muncher.

:p

LOL :p

Well, doc just called me a bit ago. He said keep praying for Chewie because he's not out of the woods.

He's running a high temp. They are pushing fluids, B vitamins, heavy antibiotics. He described the surgery in more detail to me and well...stunning what they had to do. I can't even imagine how I would feel after having an incision from stem to stern, my guts pulled out and 6 incisions, and having lord knows how many feet of floss removed from my guts. Doc said he took lumps of floss out at a couple of points.

:thud:

Praying for my Chew Chew.

I'm praying for the little (big) guy. And for you too Doody. :hug:

Doody, I'm so sorrry to hear about Chewie. You and Chewie are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself and get some rest. Hugs and doxie kisses, Doxie Mama

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. Let me know if there is some way I can help you!!!

Thank you!
 

Thanks for the well wishes for Bearbear...he's the black and tan dog in my avatar. He is my life....besides hubby, children and grandchildren! Munchie and I aren't as close as Bearbear and I are but then she is my husband's service dog.

Sure hope that Chewie makes it, sounds, and looks like a neat cat, even though I am not really a cat person.

wondering how chewie was today......:hug:

Well, I haven't heard yet today.

The doc did call me both Sat. and Sun. Saturday he didn't sound as optimistic as yesterday, but yesterday he said again that he was cautiously optimistic.

Yesterday Chew drank almost all the water in his bowl. And yesterday was the first time he weakly mewed. He can't get up but did lift his head. And last night he ate a little bit of watered down AD food.

The doc said his white count is very high and he's still running a fever. He also said that he is using an antibiotic that he reserves for 'life and death' matters. He thinks the floss cut into his guts worse than he anticipated.

Well I figure, when you cut that stuff up, there's gotta be some nasty stuff emptying in the cavity????

He told me to keep praying.

Praying Praying praying
 

Doody..I am praying for that fur baby. And you also, I've been thru this and I know first hand how hard it is.....:hug: from me and Abbie, Alex, and Archie

Oh thanks so much.

I talked to doc a bit ago. He is still cautiously optimistic. He said the best news was that Chewie drank more water and ate the AD cat food without vomiting, he held it down. And Chewie seemed more 'with it' than yesterday.

He also used his litter box. But his fever is still present. He is starting today to dose him 2x a day with the high end antibiotic. His white cell count is still high.

But, he was mostly encouraged that he ate and drank without vomiting.
