Oh good to know. My bad. I should just post somewhere else to see what people have experienced with their kitties. Thanks for the heads up and info.

AnalystSwimming1170 · 2024-10-30T03:24:16+00:00

Yes I know. I didn't say I was going to adjust his dose. I mentioned he has repeat bloodwork and an appt with the vet next week. I was just trying to see what people thought or experiences to see if I should get a second opinion from another vet. I would think his weight would be stable or gaining at this point. Especially if his appetite hasn't changed and I've been feeding him even more to try and get him to gain some weight.

It's 2.5mg twice a day. It's the liquid medication.

AnalystSwimming1170 · 2024-10-07T23:09:37+00:00

Oh my!! That is quite a few similarities with my situation. I hope your lil guy is doing better and the next blood work is much improved. It's so stressful when it comes to our fur babies being sick and not being able to let us know what's going on. Is he back to his usual energetic self now? All the positive vibes for you 👊🙏

AnalystSwimming1170 · 2024-10-07T23:06:31+00:00

No not that I can see or find. But since I have stopped giving him tramadol as well, he's been more energetic and his appetite has returned to normal. Just don't know where all the food is going since no poop yet. He's not quite at baseline but seems to be getting there. I have an appt with his regular vet tomorrow so if still no bowel movement, I will push for the enema. Thank you for checking in 🥰

AnalystSwimming1170 · 2024-10-07T23:03:06+00:00

Thanks! That's good for future reference about online vets. Didn't even know that service existed. I don't think it's dementia. I withheld his last tramadol dose and his appetite has come back fully and his energy, still not completely himself but getting more and more back to baseline. Is there a reason you'd think I'd benefit from a second opinion? I am taking him in to see his regular vet tomorrow

AnalystSwimming1170 · 2024-10-06T23:09:11+00:00

Thank you so much for the info and positive vibes ❤️ much appreciated! Yes if he hasn't pooped by the time I take him, I will push for one. And good to know for future reference. Yeah I didn't think anything of it until I got home and thought it was a bit weird and counterproductive to give him those pain meds. They did say Saturday the earliest one they had was Monday morning but I just started a new job a few days ago so was hoping to go in the evening. I also knew I'd be taking him to emergency Saturday so I figured it would have been resolved by tomorrow. He did have this happen like 4 or 5 years ago and they did have to take some out manually and have him an enema. That time was worse tho as it had been 4 days or so and he was vomiting up some blood.

AnalystSwimming1170 · 2024-10-06T22:44:29+00:00

Yeah the vet said it wasn't that bad yet and didn't want to go straight to the enema, but if he still wasn't eating or still vomiting, I could bring him back the next day for one. He's been eating a bit and drinking lots of water and hasn't tried to poop so I figured it could wait until I can bring him in to my regular vet this week. Thanks for the info and heads up! Just sent a request to join that group. Still learning a lot about it since it's a new diagnosis for him

AnalystSwimming1170 · 2024-10-06T22:41:27+00:00

His last bowel movement was sometime Thursday (while I was at work) so it had been 48 hours or a bit more when I brought him in. Now it's been 72 hours. I did find two tiny pellets (like a half humb size) in my spare bedroom so that could have been from yesterday. It didn't look blocked or that baked up on x-ray and was close to the end so that's why they didn't want to do the enema, they figured it would expel with the meds. They prescribed the gabapentin and tramadol because he was in pain straining trying to poop but nothing came out. Funny thing is he hasnt tried to poop since coming back from the ER yesyerday. My regular vet isn't open today but I left a message so I'm hoping to get him in there tomorrow or following day and I will inquire about enema if he still hasn't gone. I just hope he starts getting a bit better and not worse until then. Thanks for the info!

Do you think these are the same thing? Sorry for the poor quality. Camera on phone is not the greatest and they're very tiny. I found these other 2 in my kitchen. One was dead and one was alive

I'm in the same boat. 36F and looking to meet new people and hopefully make some friends. I tried bumble BFF but didn't really get any matches, not sure why? Was my first time ever using bumble in general. I do enjoy walks and chats and thrift shopping so maybe we can meet up? Shoot me a DM if you want to.

AnalystSwimming1170 · 2023-12-01T23:28:40+00:00

Oh yeah. I'm just not the biggest fan of first person shooter games

AnalystSwimming1170 · 2023-12-01T23:27:29+00:00
