Since I last posted, we had a miserable night [last night]. John thought Skootch was not long for this world. He wouldn't even lick gravy off my finger - turned his head away and shuddered. Then I noticed he was drooling and shaking. He went under the dining room table and was drooling. I thought about spending the night with him under the table, then decided to go up to bed. I cried myself to sleep.
This morning I went looking for him, expecting a dead cat. Couldn't find him anywhere downstairs, found him under a dresser in our bedroom, still alive. He spent most of the day on our upstairs futon. I tried smearing a little gravy on his mouth, and he would drool and and whimper. Tonight a friend came over and helped me hydrate him (my first time doing THAT!). We'll see. I'm canceling all my plans for the next couple of days. So glad I work at home.
Aw, poor Skootch! hugs! We're purring and praying for him! And for you

Hope he gets better very quickly. Please don't despair.
ReplyDeleteOh Skootch! Come on buddy!
ReplyDeleteHe's drooling cause he wants to throw up! Something is upsetting his tummy.
I know it will be very costly, but he might need to be hospitalized to receive enough fluids. How could they not find anything? Did you try asking online (on yahoo) to see what others think. Someone's cat must have had the same issue!
We're still praying for him to get better fast!
(((((((((((Hugs))))))))))
Scary stuff. The fluids seem like a wise idea even though it's not pleasant to do. Seems weird the vet can't figure it out, I hope something gets figured out soon. I too would be worried sick. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteI ckecked online. This is what I found:
ReplyDeleteIS YOUR CAT SHIVERING, DROOLING OR PANTING? Shivering, drooling and panting are all signs of stress, pain and discomfort in a cat. A cat who is exhibiting these symptoms is in discomfort and pain.
I'm very worried for Skootch. My guess would be this is connected with the procedures he had and his stitches. Maybe his stitches are infected? Did he chew on them? Maybe something went wrong during the procedure, and they didn't tell you?
I really hope he gets better!!!♥
I'm so sorry. Sending hugs & healing thoughts your way.
ReplyDeletePraying that poor Skootch will get better soon. Our furries can break our hearts when they are not well!
ReplyDeleteI am praying for Skootch and the entire family.
ReplyDeletePurrs and purrayers to him, for his Highest Good.
ReplyDeletesending purrs....
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting but saw remarks about some stitches. Something not right from the surgery maybe? We are sending purrs and hoping Skootch will be feeling better.
ReplyDeletesending purrs..
ReplyDeletePoor Skootch!! Quill is purring and I am sending best thoughts.
ReplyDeletePurrrs purrrrs!
ReplyDeleteI'm putting myself in their place, we cry very much, it's terrible. The best would be to take him to the vet again, not everything goes to solve at home. Hopefully Skootch recovers. Do not be discouraged.
