Poor little man but I'm sure he'll be okay, I think Sean will have to try and ease them back into the furry bits  :sick:  :sick:  I think the delivery of this little man will have to be tomorrow now but I'll see how long I'm in the vets with him and to how I feel, cos I'll have to pick the other cat up from Mold, go to Dawn's and then onto Wigan so tomorrow may be better  :tired:

Well Zebedee Boo has furry empty sacs (his dusters)  ;D so he still looks like a little lad.

Zubin God love him has a nice flat back end.

I've just heard back from the vets and he has to go back in bless him.   Sean's on later so he'll be taking a look at him, it was pretty difficult trying to explain to the Receptionists so I sent piccies as well which was a help  :evillaugh:  It's not actually the insides that have come out but the actual sac out of the fur, they just look like wrinkled nuts but furless  :evillaugh:

That can happen if the incision is a little too big Dawn.  I'd get him straight back in as it shouldn't be left like that.

Sometimes it can pop back in itself but he'll need to get a antibiotics jab... may need to essentially re-do the neuter.  My Aston went through the same thing and they had to stitch up the sacks to cover it as they wouldn't pop back itself.  He had a terrible time of it bless him and I wonder now if that is one of the reasons that we had problems with his weight post neuter.

Let us know how you get on. xx

Might have to take Biscuit back in later for a check up but just waiting for the vets to phone.  Looking at where he had his op, it looks like the insides have popped out if you know what I mean.  Some vets just leave the sack which I think they have done but there's no fur on the actual sac bit and I've not noticed this on any of my others when they've had the chop.  I can also see the incision so I just want to make sure everything is okay with him.  I had to take a couple of pics which was quite difficult as you can imagine and Biscuit wasn't too impressed  :evillaugh:

Desley, thanks so much for the offer  :hug: I wonder if its worth us looking into buying one ourselves? I suppose we haven't seen our last poorly kitty - and after the lovely big runny poo Doc left us on the floor today I think the whole house might benefit from a once over  :evillaugh:

Lesley, I meant to PM you about the carpet cleaner because I remember you saying you have rented them before - I was in Tesco, ASDA and Morrisons on Friday and Morrisons was the one I forgot to look in  :innocent: I will have a look into it and also price up a carpet cleaner  ;D  :hug:

There's been a little change of plan regarding Biscuit  :shify:  Schmew has kindly offered to foster him until he finds a forever home  :hug:  This is fab news as once he's settled down, he will be able to integrate with Schmew's other cats which are also FIV positive.  Dawn and Phil are still willing to take the gorgeous Magnolia and when I drop her off, Dawn and I will be taking Biscuit to his new Foster mummy  :Luv:  :Luv:

Great to hear that little Biscuit is doing grand... he looks such a sweetheart.

At least he is warm, safe and loved... and just in time for Chrimbo! 

Good job! xx

I'm feeling a little better thank you but have been od'ing on Paracetamol and whisky coffees which taste disgusting but seem to have helped.  I stopped in bed most of the day, got up this morning to feed the rabble and then had a lazy day.  I was running a temp earlier and the cats made it worse by all snuggling up to me, they all seem to think when I'm in bed, it's their turn for cuddles  :sneaky: 

Biscuit is absolutely gorgeous, I'm in love with this little man, he is such a fuss pot and purrs for England  :Luv:  :Luv:  I find it such a shame that all the nice cats seem to be the FIV one's, I think he's probably caught it by being attacked and not the other way round, he doesn't seem to have a nasty bone in his body bless him.  He seems a little nervous and initially he reacts by trying to pull away from you but once he knows he's getting a fuss, he'll come forward and start headbutting.  I'm sure Dawn and Phil will fall head over heels for him and I was telling the vet last night where he was going and she was over the moon for him  :)

Dawn, I bought a steam cleaner from TJ Hughes for £40 last year - admittedly it hasn't come out of the box yet, but it looks good!! You are welcome to borrow it if you like.

I was going to call over today with him but I've come down with a nice dose of flu........I feel  :censored: awful, aching all over and generally feel rubbish.  Not looking forward to going to work tomorrow but if I'm off I don't get paid so not got a lot of choice really but will see how I feel tomorrow.  Dawn, I'll bell you tomorrow sometime  :hug:

Hi Dawn, glad you're back, hope you had a lovely time.

The best carpet cleaner I have used is the Rug Doctor, can normally hire them from Morrisons, DIY stores etc.  For one room you should only need it for a few hours and only a small bottle of the carpet detergent.  They also do an odour remover which you can use as well.

I used this in the study after Tia had her babies on the carpet, and then reared them on the floor for 8 weeks. :sick:

My decision has been made eh? I just had a look at the first post and wondered if we might get him  :evillaugh: he is beautiful! It will be nice to have a new cat from the same place as Lucas  :Luv:
I like Biscuit - we can have Cheese and Biscuits  :rofl: unless you want to call him Pickle? or Crackers? (Christmassy!  :evillaugh: )

I need to sort out Lucas' room still, its a bit  :sick: even after a scrubbing! - Where can I rent a carpet cleaner??? (Clueless!  ;) )

I have had my 12 hours sleep catch up now Dawn so will ring you soon  ;)

I'm sure she will Pav, he is extremely loveable and absolutely gorgeous  :Luv:  :Luv:  Not sure of his age, the vet nurse said she's seen so many cats today and can't remember apart from him having a huge pair of goolies  :evillaugh:  He's had a full check over anyway, has been wormed, deflead and microchipped, his ears were manky so they've been cleaned, he's also a little bit snotty so has been given a course of antibiotics and other than that, he should be fine.

Biscuit is a fab name  :Luv:  :Luv:  I've been having a long think this evening and I'm thinking Biscuit may be the perfect next candidate to go to Dawn's.  I'm picking Magnolia up tomorrow and she was going to go to Dawn's but I think Biscuit will be the better choice.  At Dawn's he can have his own room and he's got less chance of picking up anything which is obviously going to be a worry if he is positive.  I've not had a chat to Dawn yet as she's exhausted after her flight so I'll mention it when I speak to her tomorrow afternoon  :scared:

The vet nurse did his test as an inhouse by mistake and it did come back as FIV positive which doesn't surprise me in the least.  The test will be getting sent off to Glasgow anyway to confirm but I think it will still be positive.
