Can you get her interested in playing with anything Dawn? Would she follow a toy with her eyes if you dangled one in front of her? Bengals are always very playful and if she shows absolutely no interest (even if she doesn't get up), I would be worried. Is she sitting in a 'hunched up' position?

I know how quickly bengals can deteriorate (because of Dubes) so if you are worried I would definitely ask Sean if he thinks it would be prudent to admit her for a day or two, so that she can be monitored. It would take the worry out of the situation for you and you would know that she is in the best place should anything go wrong with her recovery. Anaesthetic is dangerous for some cats and we know that Becky has some medical problems.

(Btw I know it wouldn't stop you worrying but what I'm trying to say is that, for me at least, whenever I have a cat at home who is causing me concern, I just can't stop checking up on them to make sure they're still alive!!!)

Get well soon Becky.

Lots of love

Roz

Sean's told me to take her in and he'll have a look at her now.

Becky had me rushing to the vets with her a couple of months ago when she sounded as if she was dying, I got Sean out of surgery to look at her and the little minx was fine

I'm worried about her with her op though, she's not eaten anything at all and she's not been to the loo yet. Normally she's so bright and is the first to the food dish but she's just lying there, so it's so out of character

Hi Dawn,

Have to say that neither of my bengals made a fuss when they were spayed. In fact, Ruby ran between my hubby's legs when he opened the front door to come in (it was February and still dark outside at 6 pm) and I couldn't find her!!! I took a torch outside and the bloomin' thing packed up on me (I invested in a rechargeable one after that...one of my best buys).

The little git decided to come in at 6 am the following morning...apparently none the worse for wear. I'd been sitting up all night waiting for her!

Dubes didn't seem to suffer either. But bengals do make weird sounds...quite unlike any other cat...and they invariably announce when they are going to be sick so you can prepare for it!!

I just hope that it is because Becky's feeling sore after the op.

Sending lots of healing thoughts to our little patient

.

For anyone who doesn't know Ruby was my F3 bengal who would have been 12 this year but who was killed on the road at aged just four. She loved being out and about and would normally potter in and out of the house but I always worried about her. We developed the cat-proofing system after she was killed to keep all my other cats safe but I still miss my little Ru Ru and always will. I don't think I had a happy day for five years after she was killed....

Lots of love

Roz

hope she'll start to feel better soon, I'm sure she would be swollen he did have a good look around inside - get well soon Becky!

Bless her little heart, hope she is soon on the mend xxx

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #195 on:** May 02, 2008, 10:05:14 AM »

She's still not happy today, I'm waiting for Sean to phone me back. She had Rimidyl yesterday which should last about 2 days and with having all her insides checked out as well, she is probably sore from that as well. Her tummy seemed quite swollen last night

sheryl · « **Reply #194 on:** May 02, 2008, 09:40:45 AM »

When we collected Mellika from her spay the vets said they had been worried because she was making "blood curdling howls" luckily one of the vets knows Bengals and said its a Bengaly thing - she was fine when we picked her up - little booger

Dawn F · « **Reply #193 on:** May 02, 2008, 09:23:16 AM »

those benglie girls!

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #192 on:** May 02, 2008, 09:22:39 AM »

Estella milked it for all it was worth T and you fell for it

I still remember the little dance

Dawn maybe some extra pain relief? I remember T letting me know Estella had to be rushed back in to get the pain relief after her spay. And Benglies can make the hellish of all noises!

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #191 on:** May 02, 2008, 09:20:35 AM »

When Estella bengal was spayed she too made blood curdling noises and ended up going in for extra pain relief, think its just another bengal thing some milk it for all its worth.

Dawn F · « **Reply #190 on:** May 02, 2008, 08:37:54 AM »

Dawn, in my experience bengals do make horrible noises - one of the worst noises I ever heard tilly make was at the vets, hopefully Becky is calm and settled now

Kirst · « **Reply #189 on:** May 01, 2008, 18:52:32 PM »

Oh bless her , hopefully she will perk up soon.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #188 on:** May 01, 2008, 18:35:39 PM »

Becky is now home bless her but she's not happy at all

She was making a horrible crying noise in the vets when she saw me so I just hope she's not in any pain. I've had to put her in a hospital cage for now with some chicken, hopefully she'll be feeling a little better later.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #187 on:** May 01, 2008, 16:30:47 PM »

Thanks for all the good wishes

I was going to try and get some kip earlier as I hardly had any sleep last night, but I can't relax until I get her home

I'll be picking her up shortly

If Im not mistaken the liver enzymes could be related to the pancreas.

Sean did say her Pancreas was enlarged so that may explain it. I'll have a chat to him if he's there when I pick her up

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #186 on:** May 01, 2008, 16:22:56 PM »

If Im not mistaken the liver enzymes could be related to the pancreas. I think Dragan had a problem with his being raised.

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #185 on:** May 01, 2008, 15:14:30 PM »

Excellent news! Good on ya, Becky! Hope they find the ALT's reason. I know it can be variable, especially in cats with other problems.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #184 on:** May 01, 2008, 14:48:22 PM »

Yay! Thats fantastic news!

Roz · « **Reply #183 on:** May 01, 2008, 14:39:19 PM »

That is terrific news....I hardly dared look at this thread but knew I had to... What a relief Dawn.

Let's hope the little star goes from strength to strength and that her bloods don't show anything that cannot be sorted.

Well done Becky

(told ya this week had been good Dawn

)

Lots of love

What a relief! SO glad everything looked normal inside and that the op went well.

to you and a chin tickle for Becky xxx

sheryl · « **Reply #181 on:** May 01, 2008, 14:04:51 PM »

What a relief, I have been checking all day to see if there was any news.

So pleased Dawn huge huggles for little Becky xxxxxxxxxxx

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #180 on:** May 01, 2008, 14:03:21 PM »

Oh thats a relief Dawn! Hope the bloods come back ok too.

Sabrina (Auferstehen) · « **Reply #179 on:** May 01, 2008, 14:01:28 PM »

So glad this went well and hopefully you can find out about the enzymes etc.

Dawn F · « **Reply #178 on:** May 01, 2008, 14:00:08 PM »

don't know about cats but I was told (I've got high liver enzymes) that some people just have it for no reason, one gp even rang me at work to see if I drank!!! but my normal gp said my normal might be someone elses high

Kirst · « **Reply #177 on:** May 01, 2008, 13:58:40 PM »

That is good news Dawn , so pleased for you and little Becky!

Leanne · « **Reply #176 on:** May 01, 2008, 13:58:02 PM »

Aww Dawn it must be a relief to you to know she has come though okay

Hope you find out what's raising the liver enzymes soon

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #175 on:** May 01, 2008, 13:57:04 PM »

There's still something causing her liver enzymes to be raised but we'll have to wait to see what the bloods show up, he said when you feel her tummy, here seems to be a lot in there but on checking, everything is normal. He was surprised her intestines weren't thickened in view of where she came from but again, they are a nice colour and normal. I just hope something shows up on the bloods now to explain her liver enzymes

Dawn F · « **Reply #174 on:** May 01, 2008, 13:53:08 PM »

so she just looks a bit funny but nothing is wrong????????????

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #173 on:** May 01, 2008, 13:52:19 PM »

After a worrying few hours for me, Becky is absolutely fine

Everything looks normal apart from her Pancreas being a little on the large side, her kidneys and liver and even her intestines look fine

He's done some more bloods on her but I think these ones are being sent off but I'll find out when I pick her up. I feel totally drained now but very, very relieved

Becky is just waking up so I can pick her up later

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #172 on:** May 01, 2008, 09:28:55 AM »

All the very, very best. Hope and pray for good news
