Concern for Cringle

[Roz]

Oh poor, poor little boy.  I am praying so hard that he will come through this...

Teresa do you think he could be going into shock?  I've heard that wrapping up in tinfoil helps to keep the temperature really warm and stabilised if you think he might be.....or perhaps you've got something thermal that you can use.  I would try to keep him very warm and quiet.

Am sending all good wishes to the little love and trying to muster the most positive cyber vibes for his recovery.

Lots of love to you both

oh dear poor boy..are there any other signs of trama to his nails etc..of course this might have happened years if not months ago but just became problematic now !!

I do hope they get him more stabalised and can operate, i might have been inclined to have him in an oxygen tent for abit but then i guess the less stress would be best..still suprised they didnt suggest keeping him in tho to prevent you have to make him travel tomorrow..poor mite he really is ill.

Oh dear, I just seen this thread and am so sorry that Cringle is so ill. He is one big hunky man and I do hope that the vets can help him.

Teresa, just wanted to send every good wish Cringle's way.  Poor little soul, I hope he makes it through.

[Teresa Pawcats]

Just back from vets, Cringle is one very poorly boy,the vet hes seen today also thinks ruptured diaphragm (though there are a couple of other possibilities ), she gave him a couple of injections and just as we were leaving his breathing went terrible so she took him back in and gave him a third injection. She said if he gets any worse back again tonight though she says she would prefer not to give him a G.A.  before morning. His temperature is normal though he feels cold.

[Roz]

Oh no, I have only just seen this thread but was also wondering about poor Cringle.

Please God let this little guy pull through.

Everything crossed for him Teresa...will be watching for your posts. I hope it's something treatable.

Lots of love

Aww, I do hope that they can figure out what is wrong with him and get him better, we dont want sad news this early in the year!!

[CurlyCatz]

jeezo..does sound pretty serious but could be such a large list of things,

how long have you had him again to him getting ill ??

he's quite well built so doesnt look like he's had a chronic illness.

sounds like he's anaemic so possibly losing blood somewhere or not making enough rbcs ??

where did the vet reckon there was fluid ?? his chest or abdomen...?? i am presuming his chest

i could just stab in the dark really at this stage and suggest any of the infective diseases, trauma, tumour, heart failure, might have though warfarin but think youve had him too long for that...often with a diaphragmatic hernia it can be worse after they hve eaten..obvious as the stomach/gi tract full so more FB in the thorax


I'd say if he is getting worse then he might need to go in tonight but i know i dont need to tell you that

sorry really wished i could have helped more on this one .

So do I...

[Tiggy's Mum]

Oh No, poor Cringle. Really hope he's going to be OK...

[Teresa Pawcats]

Poor boy is going downhill again am probably going to call vet out as his body temp seems down and he is pale around gums and nose.

Lynne any ideas?

[Tiggy's Mum]

Poor Cringle, I am keeping everything crossed that it's nothing too serious and he will be fixed and packed off to a new forever home very soon.  Please do keep us updated on how he is doing.

[Christine (Blip)]

Oh Teresa, poor Cringle. Still, as Desley says, at least he has made his way to the right place. My fingers are tightly crossed for him too.

[Desley (booktigger)]

Aww, fingers crossed for him, and that it is nothing too serious. The poor babe, but at least he is in good hands.

[CurlyCatz]

poor cringle..i do hope its none of the options your vet suggested...from a personal point of view i loved diaphagm ops but they not often great for the poor puss's..

fingers crossed it doesnt turn out to be so serious.

[Teresa Pawcats]

Hi Christine
Poor Cringle became unwell very suddenly late on Friday night, his breathing became very laboured, the vet has given him anti inflammatory and antibiotic injections and another to remove fluid. He is booked in for xrays  etc. on Monday morning, Vet says it is possible that he was hit on road when stray and that his diaphagm has ruptured ,or alternately he could have a tumour. If any sign of deterioration he must be rushed back in. This morning he is still poorly but breathing a little better and has eaten a little.

[Christine (Blip)]

I hope I'm not duplicating anything, but I don't think I am - Teresa, you mentioned on Jayne's thread that Cringle was poorly. I'm sorry to hear that: what ails him?
