Earl Grey Update - Good News Sunday Edition

Tazo here:

Momma’s really worn out, so she asked me to give you guys an update. Sorry it took so long to update this, but we do have some good news.

Earl Grey’s surgery went great. They removed a piece of purple plastic from his intestine. They told Momma that they saved it for her to look at, but Momma’s pretty sure that it’s part of the purple latex squeaky shoe that she threw away last month. She thought Titus ate it, but now it looks like EG got some, too. All of his other guts looked fine, so we think he should be fine after this. *KNOCKING ON WOOD* As of 11 am this morning, EG is doing really well. He does have an ulcer on his eye now, though, because his eye got too dried out during the surgery. The V-E-T says it should be just fine, though. Visiting hours are tonight from 6 to 9, so Momma and Daddy will probably go see him and tell him that you guys are all rooting for him to get better. Thank you all so much for keeping him in your purrayers. It’s been pretty rough around here lately.

In other news, Titus got into our kitty food and ate about two pounds of it this morning. Momma had to take him to the emergency V-E-T because he was so uncomfortable and whining a lot (and he NEVER whines). They said his tummy is twice as big as it should be, but that the food is moving through, so they didn’t want to make him barf because he might not be able to stop barfing and then it would turn into gastritis. He got some fluids and he can’t eat anything else til tomorrow morning. Plus, he has to stay quiet and not get rowdy or play. Who’s going to play with me today since both my brofurs aren‘t feeling good? Grrr.

Momma’s worried that something’s going to happen to me now, but I keep trying to tell her that I’m lots more careful than the boys. She doesn’t have anything to worry about. I’m gonna go cuddle with her right now.

Thanks again for all the thoughts and purrayers. We’ll post an update tomorrow.
Love,
Tazo

PS - Skeezix, thank you for the banner you made for Earl Grey. That was very sweet of you. It made Momma’s eyes leak.

  5. Good news on Earl Grey. With luck, he'll be fine, now. (if his people don't strangle him for putting them through all this ;-) )

    Be careful there, Tazo. Your people need one healthy furrbaby, and it looks like your it.

    Titus, stay out of the cat food.

    Every one, it looks like things might be going the right way, knock wood, cross fingers and paws.

  7. Boy am I glad that Earl Grey is getting better! He sure has been through a lot lately. I think it is a very good thing that his other guts look fine, too. Maybe that bad piece of plastic is why the bad poops keep getting stuck in there. We're still purring until Earl Grey is all better, and the woofie too.

  21. Dear Tazo, Thank you for this very very detailed up date on Earl Grey and Titus.
    We are so happy that EG is doing well and Titus should not eat kitty foods.

    You must try to be good and not get sick.
    Love, Prinnie

  22. We're so glad to hear the good news about Earl Grey! It sounds as if he should be home soon.

    Poor Titus tho. Mom says he'll probably have a lot of discomfort for a couple of days but he should be OK soon as long as the food keeps moving through. She said she had a similar experience with my big sister woofie Holly Berry from a long time ago. It was hard to watch Holly not feeling well but it was only 2-3 days before she eliminated everything and was OK again.

    Tazo, I hope you're right that you won't get sick too. You're needed!

  24. Oh, good news, Earl Grey!! But next time you get a yen for purple plastic you gotta remember the old saying: "Purple plastic plugs up pussycats' poopies!"

    And that Titus! Wasn't an ancient Roman emperor named Titus? And didn't they have vomitoriums in ancient Rome? Maybe the woofie was just having a good old-fashioned Roman food orgy!

  26. phew, what a relief all the medical news is good!

    my mom says to tell all you misbehaving kitties to just quit!

    her furries have pulled a few stunts themselves in her day, and she knows how much it worries & tires the moms & pops, not to mention it empties their pockets of the spare change they could better use to buy us toys!

  28. All the best to Earl Grey and Titus. I think the take-home lesson for all of us is don't eat what you're not supposed to!

  29. That's fabulous news about Earl Grey, Tazo! We're sorry about Titus-what a painful way to learn a lesson about eating kitty food. We hope they both get better real quick!

    Purrs,
    ~J&B

    Confession time for me: I once ate some plastic, or a least that's what the vet thought. It was a long time ago, but it punctured my butt coming out. I'll spare you the ugly details, but I was fine in no time.

  32. I am so very glad to read that Earl Grey came through surgery fine and that it was just a piece of plastic that was causing all his problems. Poor Titus. He must have one heck of a tummyache after eating two pounds of catfood. I hope both of them feel better very soon. You stay well, Tazo. You have to look after the other two.

  36. We're thinking good thoughts for both kitties. We had a cat that chewed plastic and ended up having 2 surgeries for intestinal blockages. Needless to say, we learned a valuable lesson about keeping all plastic material away from cats.

  43. This must have been scary! A long time ago Trouble got hold of some thread and ate it and they thought it was going to bunch up her intestines, but fortunately it got stuck in the back of her throat and they were able to draw it out the front way.
