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

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

tele_mark says:
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.

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.

So sorry for your loss, Trillo was a beauty and a treasured member of your family! I send out my prayers for your heart healing over time. God bless you!

tele_mark says:
And this was the day before his blockage.

Very good news!😺

Such good news. Thanks for posting. There are lots of of wishing him a speedy recovery.

What a relief to know they have treated Ambercat successfully. I know you will be so relieved once he's back in your loving home!

tele_mark says:
I went to visit him this morning. He's doing fine. He was depressed when I walked in, but cheered right up when he saw me, so he knows he's not abandoned. I had to leave after about 15 minutes because he was quickly "spooling up", even on the narcotics they have him on. He should be home in a few days. They're just waiting for his kidney levels to come back down.
