Far and Away

I dozed off for a while @Zoe7  and have just got your last messages now.

@Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @BlueBay @Exoplanet @CheerBear @Maggie @Former-Member  @MDT @Appleblossom @Sans911 @Snowie @outlander @Angels333 @Adge @Shaz51 @Meowmy @Teej @Melanie-cat and anyone I have missed...

I have been in to see Cat. SHe knew it was me and even started purring. The vet was surprised she knew I was there straight away as she is still under some sedation after her op. The specialist did the op and I have spoken to him also. He is very happy with how it went and although it was a long surgery he feels hopeful they got everything. The biopsy has been sent off to see exactly what it is but he is very hopeful that if it is what they think it is then they have got all of it. They did a full body x-ray and nothing else showed up anywhere so that is a positive too. If it is cancer then we will cross that bridge when we come to it and work out the best continued treatment. 

I had a conversation also with her regular vet (who assisted in the surgery). They need to keep her in for a couple of days at least as she is still not out of the woods yet. The next two days are critical - she needs to be able to heal a little, be able to come off sedation, eat and drink and most importantly not have any infection from the surgery. They had to take out part of her small intestine and attach it back to the large intestine therefore there is an increased risk of infection from that. They said it was very clean but they are treating her with antibiotics to try to fight off any infection that may occur. 

We should know more by Saturday and the vet is going to call in the morning. So for now it is everything crossed and the hope she makes it through tonight.

Thanks for the update @Zoe7. Still keep everything crossed for a positive outcome.

@Zoe7  💕💕💕💕 I have no words, but very big feels. I hope you get some rest. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

thanks for the tag @Zoe7

Sounds like it went relatively well considering.

Will be thinking of you over the next few days and also keep me updated please.

Pets are crucial for us, particularly with MH. I do so want another dog or pet in general. I miss it.

So yeah anyway keep us informed my awesome friend 🙂

@Faith-and-Hope I am actually pleased you dozed off because you must have very much needed it Hon  Love the flowers with the little hidden butterfly 😘🌹💕

@MDT @Maggie @Sans911 Thank you my friends. Of course I will be worrying about her over these few days but if she can get through that I am more positive about the longer term outcome.

@MDT I took Toby for a drive to the vet - so good to have him by my side throughout all this - they are certainly great companions and wonderful for our MH overall - makes those hard days just a bit easier. I hope you can get another dog one day too - you would be such a wonderful Dad 🐶😁👍

@Maggie Not sure I will get any rest tonight but did sleep this afternoon so that will be enough until I hear something in the morning. Feeling your love very much Hon 

@Sans911 I know you still worry so much about Jasper and have been through something similar with him - it is really hard but I am trying to think positive. Just get through tonight and if Cat makes it to tomorrow then I will have more hope

[Zoe7]

@Former-Member Been very much thinking of you today to Hon. Have you seen BIL and/or FIL yet?

@BlueBay @Meowmy Long night ahead of me but am going to try to keep occupied - will sleep if I can but not expecting to. I already have the doona on the couch so won't have to go far if I get tired.
