On a better day! |
Snowball is home but very freaked out by this whole ordeal. He is feral after all and not easy to handle normally. He must have been very doped up or frightened at the vet cuz he did not give them any problems. They loved him and thought he was so easy!!! HA!!
Today so far he has been hiding under a chair in a cat bed. He ate, peed and pooped but keeps away from us. I did get his meds in him - for infection, muscle relaxant. Still have to give him something for his constipation and take the tape off one of his legs. I got one off where the IV was but the pain patch is still on him.
I am looking up and ordering homeopathic remedies for blockage to have on hand in case. No more dry food, fish, grain or veggies in his wet food. That will take time to sort out the best can food. he needs to lose weight as well. My research says that horsetail grass is good for reoccurring UTIs and he does get L-methionine and herbs to prevent crystals. He is on Transfer Factor Plus for immune support. We may use bottled water..and oh yea... digestive enzymes, slippery elm and aloe for constipation. Hope all this works!
At the vet - not a happy camper! |
We didn't realize Snowball was feral as well. Hang in there, kittie, things are getting better.
ReplyDeleteI am continuing to send Snowball lots of purrs - I really feel bad for him because on top of being sick, he is having to deal with lots of human contact, something that is foreign and frightening to him.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope Snowball feels better soon and we are all sending our very best purrs.
ReplyDeleteKeep purring for Snowball !

not ever easy for any cat, let alone one that is feral. You have done an amazing job with him. paw pats Savannah
ReplyDeleteWe are keeping Snowball in our purrs every day - hoping he heals fast. Being at the vet is soooo traumatic for ANY cat, much less one who is feral. {{{{purrrrs}}}}
