Good luck for today Gill. Am hoping you won't need to go back to the vet and that franta will have picked up enormously. However, if that's not quite the case then am adding enormous cuddles to this post for you both

Thank god Frantas finally eating...I was worrying as well after our chat

Hope you've had something to eat as well, now the worst of the worry is over it's time for you to take care of yourself....

Good luck at the vet tomorrow

glad Franta is starting to pick up Gill

, hope your back improves soon too x

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #122 on:** November 05, 2008, 20:21:47 PM »

Yes you both are very wise .

And I am kinda resting now, well watching out for fireworks cos of the other cats but think all is under control

But yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss he has had a little drink of water and half a tablespoon of AD mixed with water

blackcat · « **Reply #121 on:** November 05, 2008, 19:18:41 PM »

definitely get some rest, Gill. You can't look after Franta if you don't look after you. Hope she gets better soon

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #120 on:** November 05, 2008, 19:07:12 PM »

try and get some rest Gill... Franta will pick up on your anxiety too hun

although I know its easier said than done.

As others have said the long acting a/b is pretty good stuff.

something smelly and or smelly and warmed up is always a good bet to try, fish, chicken etc. Our old boy Sandy that had his dental a few weeks back and had us worrying played a similar not eating trick until we put down a sachet of whiskas oh so fishy.... didn't last long!

Just gotta hit that right drool note with them? Come on Franta mummy is worrying... think you've made her feel guilty enough!

big

to you both. Hope your back is feeling better Gill xx

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #119 on:** November 05, 2008, 16:14:28 PM »

I tried the Ad diet and didnt add tuna water but just water and not interested at all but still have a virtually full can in fridge so will try again later.

I am just so tired

Gwen · « **Reply #118 on:** November 05, 2008, 16:14:17 PM »

Eat something fishy near him,he'll soon come pawing for some food I bet,well mine would

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #117 on:** November 05, 2008, 16:13:30 PM »

c-h-o-cs for you I think and something soft and enticingly stinky for him! That long acting antibiotic is a regular round here and seems to work quite well actually - much better than pills. Hope all goes well for you both now and your nerves. Know just how it feels

Kirst · « **Reply #116 on:** November 05, 2008, 16:10:51 PM »

Gld to hear he's up an about a bit more - now maybe you an he could share a tin of tuna?????

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #115 on:** November 05, 2008, 15:02:04 PM »

yes am pleased and just going to look for some food.

His right eye is swollen and think thats why he cant close it properly....a bit of conjunctiviteous but hope it willbe gone tomorrow.

Worry worry worry

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #114 on:** November 05, 2008, 15:00:48 PM »

Royal Canin Recovery or Hills A/D made really runny by lots of stirring and adding a tiny drop of tuna water to make it even stinkier or warming it up might encourage him and will be nice and gentle on his mouth if it's very sore.

clarenmax · « **Reply #113 on:** November 05, 2008, 14:59:52 PM »

Maybe if you eat something, Franta will play follow-my-leader

Seriously though, its great that he's a bit more active now, and that you haven't got to get to the vets again today

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #112 on:** November 05, 2008, 14:42:39 PM »

Ummmmm yes you are right lol

he seems to be getting more active now and has got offf the desk again so I think my little man is coming back

Good on yer Franta - now why not have a little something to eat and maybe your meowmy might join you. I'm right aren't I Gill - you're not eating properly either are you?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #110 on:** November 05, 2008, 14:33:42 PM »

Just rang vets, he said to ring at this time and wasnt there!!

Anyway she rang him at home and rang me back and Franta is on long acting antibiotic so will be Ok until tomorrow and we have moved hois appointment from late afternoon to 1100.

Prob is Gillian I have no way getting antibiotics into him cos wont let me near mouth and he is not eating or drinking.

he seems to be getting more active now and has got offf the desk again so I think my little man is coming back

Just the question of how I can get him to eat now and gonna start a new thread for this.

I so appreciate all the support and yes Gillian nervous wreck fits me!

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #109 on:** November 05, 2008, 14:25:48 PM »

We all gonna be nervous wrecks today methinks!

If they post the antibiots today first class as Carol mentioned, you can start them first thing tomorrow, that shoulld be alright I would have thought?

Stretching and cleaning sounds good

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #108 on:** November 05, 2008, 14:12:03 PM »

No he still hasnt eaten although I ..........stopped by terrible noise from next door, drilling into wall at deafening level and then two lots going at same time.................I am so stredssed shaking!

franta has just meowed for the fist time and done a lot of stretching and cleaned his eyes.

I now have to ring the vet cos he said Antibiuotics are important so if he hasnt had the two day one he is gonna have to go back.

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #107 on:** November 05, 2008, 13:16:31 PM »

Hope Franta is improving and feeling like eating something now

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #106 on:** November 05, 2008, 12:47:25 PM »

your back's probably flared up from the tension. Hope it's better soon Gill. I'm sure the GA has made him feel yuk and hope that it wears off fast

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #105 on:** November 05, 2008, 12:38:09 PM »

for you and Franta. When you're feeling well below parr yourself and have the additional worry about what might be wrong with his kidneys its no wonder you are worried out of your mind about him but I'm sure his reaction is just normal for the work he has had done. Hope he shows signs of improvement soon and the vets can put your mind at rest without you having to drive back out there. If they don't need to see him again and he doesn't need the antibiotics till tomorrow it might be worth asking if they can post them to you.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #104 on:** November 05, 2008, 12:21:45 PM »

Glad Franta has picked up a bit. His throat may be irritable after all the tubes were put in during op. This is what happened to Archie after one of his ops.

Thinking about you both

sheryl · « **Reply #103 on:** November 05, 2008, 12:10:33 PM »

Love and healing vibes for the lovely Franta- I hope you feel all better soon sweetheart xxx

Big :hug:for you Gill - I hope your back gets better soon Hun xxx

clarenmax · « **Reply #102 on:** November 05, 2008, 12:06:10 PM »

I hope he is just feeling a bit sick after the GA Gill, hopefully as that wears off he'll feel a bit more lively and want to eat something.

Make sure you look after yourself too hun, and hope your back is feeling less sore once the painkillers have kicked in

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #101 on:** November 05, 2008, 11:44:27 AM »

Thank you all

He has been out to try and eat grass again and is trying to purr.......he is on his cushion again.

Yes think he is feeling sick.

Just taken some more painkillers for back grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #100 on:** November 05, 2008, 11:39:12 AM »

Ahhh poor little man .... good news that he is up and about this morning and hopefully he will continue to improve during the day.

Big hugs to you both xxxxx

Tan · « **Reply #99 on:** November 05, 2008, 11:37:59 AM »

to you both hun.
Gotta be a big thing for him at his age to go through and it must take a few days for him to start to feell better. Try not to worry too much hun, I know it's very hard not to

Give him a cuggle (a gentle cuddle) from us all

xxxxxxxx

Gwen · « **Reply #98 on:** November 05, 2008, 11:22:17 AM »

Come on Franta try and eat and drink a little for meowmy,shes worried about you

Gill you need to keep your strength up too so make sure you eat and sleep also ok?

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #97 on:** November 05, 2008, 11:21:29 AM »

OOOOooo Franta, you beautiful boy. You're a brave little soldja.

Gill, Paddy does that when he's been for a dental - eats grass to make himself sick. I know Pad's generally had very light anaestehtics previously because of his risk factors, so has won round perhaps quicker than Franta this time, but I suspect he may begin to pick up a bit more by tonight. However, I agree if you're worried then give the vet another call.

I so wish you lived in that little house near us, 'cos then we could run you to the vet.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #96 on:** November 05, 2008, 11:20:51 AM »

Just caught up on this thread now Gill....

bless little Franta Gill. I hope its just a reaction to the GA, most likely is and he is just making you feel as guilty as possible for his day out at the v.e.t.s!!!

Let us know how the wee man is doing I'm sure he'll be fine once things settle

Hope you too are feeling better today and your back isn't giving you as much jip!

to you and Franta boy

Janeyk · « **Reply #95 on:** November 05, 2008, 11:10:20 AM »

aww, bless his little headbutts

hope he starts picking up today Gill x

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #94 on:** November 05, 2008, 11:03:26 AM »

Just spoke to the vet and he is gonna collar the vet who did the op when she comes in cos she has not had time to write stuff up in frantas notes. I have an appointment for 1600 today if he is not improving and aslo depends on what antibiotics he was given.

Richard thinks it will be a 48 hr one but I dont think so cos Rachel was talking about getting antibiotics into him today.

Richard thinks he will improve during the day and says a lot of this is down to his age but if I am worried any more , just to take him in. I have to ring in between 1400 and 1500.

He says that because of the drip , him not drinking is no problem because he will get flooded and he is also not concerned about him not eating yet.

He thinks all the symptoms he has are down to the GA and that he is probably feeling very ~~nauseus~~ sick.

I think probably because of the anti biotics, he may have to go back this afternoon.

He is headbutting now but I think his little throat is so dry and he just gave a kittle cough like he is trying to clear it.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #93 on:** November 05, 2008, 10:54:41 AM »

Awww, his mouth will be sore Gill. He wasn't interested in the AD food? Can you get hold of liquivite? S'worth a try!

Sending you a big hug.

And Franta too.

Dawn F · « **Reply #92 on:** November 05, 2008, 10:51:16 AM »

poor Franta, hope he starts to perk up soon

Kirst · « **Reply #91 on:** November 05, 2008, 10:45:01 AM »

Poor old Franta - if his tummy is feeling a bit delicate and his mouth is sore he probably doesnt feel much like breakfast! He sounds better than he did last night - hopefully he will continue to pick up through the day xx

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #90 on:** November 05, 2008, 10:36:53 AM »

Thanks for messages all.

Am waiting for a vet to ring me cos although he is up and can walk around now , he still isnt very good and not eating or drinking.

No chance that they will come to me cos its a nearly 50 mile round trip and my back is not good eiether.

I have tried AD diet with him this morning and he was interested but maybe had a tiny lick and that was it. He went down to his big bucket of rain water but again he didnt really drink, He tried some grass but didnt have any, and think that says he is feeling too sick to eat but grass would help him in his little mind cos would make him sick amnd therefore better.

Franta is not a purry cat but think he is trying to purr, another sign that he is trying to comfort himself. He still making all these little noises that he was last night and now has just sorta turned to doze.

Its an hour since I rang and I told them I wanted to bring him in this morning but have an hours journey and they now close in 30 mins......well the appointments grrrrrrrrrrrr

Just gonna ring them again.

koscha (Ruth M) · « **Reply #89 on:** November 05, 2008, 10:03:40 AM »

Hi Gill, hows Franta doing now...any better? Did you manage a quick nap at all

hopefully he's had something to drink, which will help his poor throat a bit...oh dear bless him, poor love

At least you can now get hold of a reasonable vet (not them

at Vets Now) and get some advice

If your Sciatica's giving you too much gyp, perhaps they can be persauded (sp) to do a home visit?

Fingers crossed x

clarenmax · « **Reply #88 on:** November 05, 2008, 09:41:36 AM »

Mornin Gilly, how's our boy Franta doing today?

Bryony84 · « **Reply #87 on:** November 05, 2008, 09:28:14 AM »

I'm only just catching up with this thread, kindof looks like everyone has said what I was going to but thought I'd add a few things.

The metacam is a 24 hour painkiller, but if you are worried that Franta is in pain when it is starting to wear off, I'm sure the vet would be able to help. I know when we got Caspers metacam, our vet said it was very important not to exceed the once a day dose no matter what.

Hope Franta is feeling better today!

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #86 on:** November 05, 2008, 09:21:53 AM »

Gill do hope Franta was alright during the night

Sorry I flaked out
