What a sweet couple, cat and rabbit together in the rabbit hutch!

So happy Ambercat will be home! I remember when my BUC had his blockage - it was so long ago - they had to use a "dog" cone and it was huge and I had to hand feed him because he couldn't get to his bowl. Thank goodness veterinary medicine has come a long way in 40 years. Continued prayers for Ambercat's comfort and recovery.

thank you for your lovely comment, I just put 6 more pictures of Harley and simba, they were always together, they were best friends, they lived, played, eat, and slept together.

This is the surgeon's dog, Bella. She weights about 3 pounds.

Ambercat after seeing his first dog -- Bella -- up close.

Ambercat was much less depressed when I went in this morning. The good news is he's coming home tomorrow morning. The bad news is he has to wear the collar for 10-14 days, and the catheter has to stay in that long too. So he's going to be confined to 1 room because he's going to be dripping from the catheter, and I don't want him rough housing while he's mending. It's going to be a tough 2 weeks.

Eli says:
Don't worry, Ambercat, you will be home soon! Big kisses all the way across the Atlantic from Max, Henry and Elisabeth!

Eli says:
I'm so relieved to know Ambercat is doing better! I will pray for his speedy recovery!

tele_mark says:
And, at this point, the vet doesn't seem too concerned about the internal leak, so hopefully I'll get an update on that later today when I visit him.

tele_mark says:
The vet texted me this right before they closed and tucked Ambercat in for the night. This is apparently after his "bath" they give him daily to clean off the mess from the catheter, and he has his collar on for the night. Not too happy here! Vet said he's doing fine. Bringing him some of his food tomorrow along with another toy and a blanket they all sleep on.

Ok, thanks. I hope Ambercat is well soon.

tele_mark says:
He just said that that particular food -- the Blue Buffalo dry grain-free, is the most associated of any dry food with this problem. He didn't elaborate if it was just in his practice and experience, or if this has been substantiated by a bigger study. The irony is that I bought this 2 months ago because the Taste of the Wild dry grain free was giving Storm some urinary problems. None of the other cats have had problems with the Blue Buffalo. And, all my cats have had UTI's at one point or another over the years. This is the first full-blown blockage I've had.

pmgr111 says:
Did the vet say there was a problem with the brand Blue Buffalo or was it the fact that he was eating dry food? Just wondering since I have been using the Blue Buffalo.

pmgr111 says:
I just saw your message today about his situation. I hope he is completely well soon. Sorry to hear this happened. I have been feeding my cats the Blue Buffalo dry food along with Wellness wet food. I went down to the pet store today and got Wellness dry food and I'm taking the remainder of my Blue Buffalo back. I'm glad I saw your message.
