A Little Pixie Dust Needed-NEW UPDATE POST 78 SAM'S KIDNEY TEST RESULTS.........

[Snowy-girls]

Oh Michelle, sending , you really are a worrier but I can understand it - sometimes our emotions take over and there is nothing we can do and then we start to think and remember alsorts. Poor Sam it must have been heart breaking for him missing his breakfast - but it will soon all be over and he will be home again with you to love and care for him.

Be brake Michelle and sending lots more for you and Sam_xx

Michelle i know exactly what you are feeling right now. When our old cat was booked in to have his teeth cleaaned we got so worked up we had to cancel the appointment. Luckily his teeth weren't too bad and he lived to almost 17. What you have to tell yourself is they do this evry day usually to older cats so they know what they are doing and are used to it

Thank you both .
Sorry to hear about your cat-17 is a great age.I know the best thing for my cat's is there health as they are indoor cats,even the vets says that there hearts etc..are that of young cats-so Sam has that going for him.

I have just come home from taking Dd7 to school+i am now crying-i can't help it.When i said bye to him this morning i got upset and was thinking i hope that's not the last time i see him.I can't help it i have had him since he was 8wks old+i don't think it helps because what happened with La-La recently is still heavily in my mind.I thought i was only taking La-La to have an anti-sickness shot and they ended up telling me he had cancer-by the next day he was gone , i watched him be born+watched him die .
I know it's just a routine op-but it's the anaesthetic that scares me+him being an old boy.He is my best friend-not just my pet.I know it sounds silly but he has been thru everything with me,he will sit and listen to me talk to him,even though he has'nt got a clue what i am saying .He meows at me when i talk to him,he will meow and walk out the kitchen which means he wants me to sit in the garden with him.He snuggles up on my lap in the evenings after his dinner to watch tv with me,or if i am dis-ing he lays next to me with his paw resting on the laptop.He follows me everywhere.The other 2 cats although i love them to bits could'nt be bothered as long as there fed+watered and they always stick together+butt Sam out.Sam was always with La-La when he was alive+i believe it hit Sam hard when he realised he was'nt coming back-so has been with me more than ever now.

Oh don't i go on-i will shut up now,so far so good no phonecalls from the vets which means he must be ok.If i don't hear from the vets by 2-30pm(which i hope not)then i have to phone them.x.

More hugs, this time for you Michelle... Try not to worry and I'm sure your Sam will be back with you asap...

 

[SammieG]

thinking of you and Sam today... Im sure he will be fine... but all of us with furry babies know exactly what you mean... They rely on us to keep them safe and you cant explain to them...

I would be the same if my tigger was at the vets today too....

Fingers crossed all will be ok and he will soon be home with great teeth

 

[Beth__WDW23/6/02]

Oh hun massive huggles.
I'm sure he'll be fine,he's in great hands.
Keep us updated as soon as you know let us know.
I'd be frantic too if our Tinkerbell was in the vet's she also had a limp a while back and lots of moaning it turned out DD3 had stood on her paw,luckily a few days later she was completely fine,but they have you soo worried,people think they are just pets but that is completely wrong,they are family members.
{hugs}

sending you lots of hugs Michelle, I'm sure all will be fine and he will be back home with you pretty soon.

***UPDATE***
I don't believe this my poor baby is still there and has'nt had it done yet.I was told to ring back at 3-30pm.I have been worrying,feeling sick+haven't eaten anything because of worrying+all for nothing.I bet he is hungry,fed up+missing home.It's like i have to go thru all of this again now for another hour or so.Please keep them fingers crossed for Sam.x.

 

[CustardTart]

OMG Michelle - you poor things! Still keeping everything crossed...

 

[natalielongstaff]

Sorry you have had too wait, they probably had an emergency case come in

 

[Snowy-girls]

***********UPDATE***************

Sam is under the anaesthetic and the op is under way.I have to ring back at 5pm.x.

Thinking of you and Sam, Michelle Hope everything goes well

 

[saratogagirl]

I hope all is ok Michelle, I've not been rude by not joining in and wishing you well before, both my cats are getting on a bit now, and I find it upsetting to think about what you have been through, I didnt like to look at your post too much at work, as you have been so upset, I was scared I would end up blubbing, but I am home now so able to wish you my best. I have been thinking of you and Sam today though.

 

[Pinky166]

Hope all is ok Michelle...I have not been able to get on since this morning as my Dh was doing some repairs to our laptop so he was using both the laptop & pc - much to my annoyance....he accused me of having withdrawl symptoms from the DIS as I must have asked him 100 times if I could use it yet!

Anyway enough of my ranbling....how is Sam? I have been thinking about you both today. Just read your updates, can't believe they made him wait all day.....can he come home yet? xx

**********UPDATE**********
Sorry i never posted earlier,but when i rang back at 5pm-i had to get to the vets by 5-30pm or they would have kept him in overnight+there was no way that was going to happen.
Well my baby boy Sam is home-although not settled.He is very scared+startled by the smallest noise-poor thing.He is very wobbly+his back legs keep giving way on him,also he is very wide eyed-they said this is all normal until the anaesthetic wears off.
He had 2 back teeth removed-one either side-one top+one bottom,a complete clean up+scrape.
BUT-when they took his blood works this morning to make sure his kidneys were ok for him to have anaesthetic-they came back bordeline.He has to go back next Wed for a check up on his teeth+more blood tests-to check his kidneys although they are expecting not to find anything-which to me means -good/ok???.What do you think??.
As some of you know he has a deformed front right leg from his fall,well we made a point of saying please don't put any needles in that leg etc...so they tried in his left and could'nt get anything-they said they tried 3 times.So they had to put it in his bad leg-poor thing-4 times they tried in that one before they got any blood.When i got him home i took the red bandage off (you can see in the picture)and oh my it's swollen+red raw,it's like they have hacked at him. £272 lighter today-but he's worth every penny of it.
Well,thank you everyone for your pixie dust,best wishes+hugs-it worked,and thank you for letting me blub,and waffle on,oh and Sam says a very croaky meow.x.

Hey that's ok,it is very upsetting,some people just don't seem to realise how much our pets mean to us.It worries me when we go to WDW next year-as to what Sam is going to do without me-like i said the other 2 could'nt care less as long as there belly's are full .But Sam-i know he will fret.Thank you for your well wishes.x.

 

[Pinky166]

Oh poor little mite, give him lots of fuss and cuddles. Glad he is ok, make sure you update us next week when he goes back to have his blood checked.

 

[mandymouse]

Aww bless him, I hope he makes a speedy recovery

 

[shellbell]

I hope he makes a full and quick recovery! big hugs

 

[Claire L]

Glad to hear all went well with Sam's teeth Hoping the follow up appointment goes ok, but if it is kidney porblems get him on medication, Garfield my old cat had another 7 years of good times on his medication, he was 21 when he passed on
