Hang in there my friend

After being with us for 7 years with no problem my good friend Dexy is not too good at the moment - you know when something's wrong - didn't turn up on Friday morning first thing as usual - eventually came in - tail down - meowing loudly - telling me he's not well :(

Trip to the vet - diagnosis urinary blockage - bladder dangerously enlarged - currently hospitalised with a catheter - told that whilst he may get through this there is a possibility it may recur - if this happens prognosis is not good :(

Hang in there my friend
 
Hope it works out. When pets are ill it is like one of the family is suffering.
 
Urgh...horrible when they’re not well, Dexy looks a lovely cat.

Hope he recovers and has a lot of full life yet Gov...
 
Best of luck gov, one of our girls has had bladder issues since being spayed so we have to keep a close eye on her - hopefully you'll be able to control Dexy's problem with the correct diet
 
Sorry to hear :cry:

I lost one of my cats just over a year ago. Still hurts. I remember waking up after a night shift hearing scratching at the door. No big deal, I thought, they always do that.

I left it an hour or so before I'd had enough and got up. I opened the door to see my beloved cat dragging herself on the floor. Back legs had gone. I quickly phoned my mum to get her to take the cat to the vet, but I fear the damage was already done.

The next 2 days they tried to get the blood flow back to her back legs, but no luck. She passed away during the night and we got the call in the morning :cry:

Vets are scum and charged us about £1500. Disgusting, but we had no choice but to pay, as anyone would in that situation.

We had her cremated and keep her ashes in a lovely cat shaped urn. Give her a kiss every morning and night. 7 and a half years of companionship, gone in an instant :cry:
 
We brought this soppy chuff back from the brink when he was a tiny kitten, farm cat runt of the litter, was’nt getting much food, but he’s as fine now and soft as a bag of s**t....I’d be absolutely gutted if anything happens to him, we love him to bits, so I empathise 100%....

Horrible story Ben, truly sorry to hear that, I know how we’d be in that situation.
 
It’s a really crap time. I’ve been in the position of looking after daisy my dog for the last couple of months as while I was away at a wedding she had a stroke. She’s 13

She survived and it was horrible being away at a time like that. She’s improved but it’s left her weak and with vestibular disease.

I feel for anyone that loves their pets and they’re going through tough times.

Get well soon Dexy!

Our cat, Alfie, was knocked over by a car outside our house several years ago. Unfortunately I was away on business and my wife had to deal with it all, but it still upsets me to this day that I did not get to say goodbye.

Now we have these two idiots and love them to bits!

I wish Dexy well, I have Gracie, a Golden Retriever, and fingers crossed very healthy, they become so much part of the family, I lost two cats to cars, and swore and I wouldn't get another one unless we moved somewhere safer, took me ages to get over them
 
Update - my boy is back home with a ton of meds :D :D he's wandering about familiarising himself with his home !

Have to say Vets were fantastic - gave us an update every day - charged only £380 that included a week's worth of special food as well as all meds - bearing in mind he was hospitalised on a iv for 4 nights plus the operation very reasonable.

Thanks to everyone for best wishes
