Im sorry if this isnt the best way, im going crazy and trying anything at this point.
“Hi, this is Dr. Ware, calling from Trinity Hills Pet Hospital. I'm just calling for an update on Tiger. So we were able to get him sedated. I had a feel of his bladder with sedation, and I was unable to express any pee from his bladder, so he truly did have a urinary obstruction. I proceeded with unblocking him, and there was a clump of crystalline stuff at the sort of most narrow part of his penis. So we were able to get that back in and then I drained all of the urine in the bladder and then flushed it as best I could to try to get all that crystal grit out. While she was sleeping, I took one more bladder X-ray with a bit of air in the bladder that was able to highlight any concerns for bladder stones and I was able to confirm that area. I showed you on the initial X-ray does appear to be a bladder stone. So this is a little bit of a worrisome thing because it could move or roll around and cause a repeat obstruction. So he is just waking up now. Should hopefully be able to send him home in about 30 minutes or so. I also repeated or did his lab work prior to sedating him. And he has just a very, very mild elevation in one of the kidney enzymes. the high end of normal is like 168 and he's at 170, otherwise his electrolytes are okay. So we'll plan to hopefully send him here soon with some pain medications and I gave him some fluids underneath the skin. “
Looks like we need a surgery to remove the one stone asap, like next week. Yet i have no way to pay for it . Im trying to find a cheaper vet clinic. The people at this one were utmost professional, really made a difficult time a little less crazy.
Thats the message i received from the vet just before i got to see Tiger. We got there 7:50pm and left 3:48am. I honestly wish Tiger had an owner with money set aside for this procedure. He deserves better. Hes so crazy amazing, the staff loved him :)) , in really happy to see him home again. Keeping a very close eye on litterbox, and ofcourse preparing for a heartbreak if he reblocks very soon. At the witts end . Ive had tiger for 3 years now after finding him in-front my house in bad shape, getting him to a shelter so they could call the owner and once they didn’t come having the chance to adopt him :).
It’s crazy how much 8 hours changed. Very difficult to grasp. I wish everyone a nice day tho, hug your cats and doggs and brothers and sisters and moms and dads!
