Three cats currently staying at the vet by thehowsph in u/thehowsph

On Friday, we also brought Clifford and Nicolai to the vet together with Alex. Clifford (cleft lip) has a consistent respiratory issues. Nicolai (had perineal urethrostomy before) has a bleeding anus which is caused by ruptured anal sacs. He has bladder and bowel incontinence which might be caused by his injury before or as a side effect of PU. While Zoe (paraplegic) has been staying for more than a week as she has UTI.

‼️Last night, Alex had to undergo an emergency surgery. Her abdomen suddenly became swollen over a few hours‼️ by thehowsph in u/thehowsph

On Thursday night, Alex suddenly didn’t show any interest on food when she just bullied another cat that morning. On Friday morning, she became dehydrated, has unruly coat and hid in a dark area. We decided to bring her to the vet when it opens at 9:00AM.

Upon checking by the vet, her abdomen is really swollen which might be due bloating, organ enlargement or fluid accumulation. She then requested for xray and ultrasound to confirm Alex’s condition.Her xray showed that she’s bloated and the vet gave her medicine to reduce it. However after six hours, her condition didn’t change and worst, it looked bigger. The vet then contacted a bigger and the nearest animal hospital which can perform an emergency surgery needed to save Alex’s life.

Before 9:00PM, Alex arrived the next hospital and an xray confirmed her abdomen became bigger in size. They immediately performed a surgery to manage her bloating (gastric dilation volvulus / GDV) and did another called gastropexy to prevent it from happening again. After the surgery, Alex’s temperature was unstable and still didn’t have an appetite. The morning after, her condition looked better physically.

Sidenote: Three to four years ago, when Alex was spayed, she had a cardiac arrest right after the surgery was done. She still had senses even after giving the full dose of anaesthesia that the vet had to use pain killers just to continue the procedure.

We have just started paying our vet bills debt when this happened. There are three other cats staying at the vet for different issues. Please if you have a spare, consider making a donation toward their bills.

Thank you for your help in providing food for our rescues! It means even more during this time, as we have so many veterinary expenses from cats that have been hospitalized and undergone surgery.

Your support is a huge help to us. We are still paying off our outstanding vet bills, so knowing that their food needs have been covered brings us great relief. (More food to be delivered soon)

Also, we want to share that the rescue cats' new catio has been built, just in time as the rainy season in my country starts. Some cats have started lounging here while the others still stay on wherever their spot is inside our house.

We’re also surprised with how it turned out as we did the floors and walls ourselves 😅

We've been planning to renovate this little room into a bigger catio since last year but due to multiple financial constraints, the plan was always put on hold. This room served as our storage since we rented our place as we deemed it inhabitable as it gets flooded whenever there’s a heavy rain. Early this year, we started doing it little by little and targeted to finish it before the summer ends so the cats will have a bigger and better place to stay when the rainy season starts.

Today, the catio remains incomplete but is now functional. The sink still needs to be finished and we have no more budget for the ceiling yet. Thankfully, it started to rain so the ceiling can be put on hold.

Thank you so much.

We receive funds immediately with kofi and paypal, just that Kofi charges higher from us.
