Fingers crossed he will be fine to come home on Mon Gill, you had no option but to do the dental, as dodgy teeth can affect kidneys, so he would have been even poorlier if left. IT is normal for them to be on drips, and at least he has eaten while there, so his mouth is feeling better.

Desley is right we had Byron's all removed when we first got her (at 22) as they were upsetting her tummy and she has been much better since. Also our Squeaky unfortunately couldn't have his removed as he had a bad heart and we think his teeth made him very poorly.

Just popping by to send best of good vibes to you and Franta Gill. Gillian is right about the hairball. He may not have been able to get rid of it on his own and it's good that you didn't leave things over the weekend as it could have been an emergency which is not good at Franta's age.

Healing headbutts to that gorgeous fella

Awww, don't feel bad Gill, Franta needed to have the dental, and I'm sure he'll bounce right back very soon

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #198 on:** November 09, 2008, 14:00:08 PM »

Yes I do hope so Gillian

Yes Sue you are so right and I feel guilty about destroying his happy little self.

But he will soon bounce back and I'm sure he will feel better without that humoungous furball!

So glad to hear Franta is doing better!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #194 on:** November 08, 2008, 18:48:19 PM »

Yes thats true ......sigh

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #193 on:** November 08, 2008, 18:39:39 PM »

Thing is Gill, we're in a no win situation - don't take them in, and they suffer. Take them in and they suffer in a different way. No good answer.....

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #192 on:** November 08, 2008, 18:29:24 PM »

Yes Sue you are so right and I feel guilty about destroying his happy little self.

Thanks to Paddy and you

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #191 on:** November 08, 2008, 18:25:33 PM »

Gill, I know so muich how you feel about this - you take in a relatively happy cat, and end up feeling you've exacerbated the underlying situation.

Am sending Franta a big PPPprrrrffffpppt from his mate Paddy and a gentle ear tug from me.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #190 on:** November 08, 2008, 17:18:46 PM »

So pleased Franta is on the mend

Janeyk · « **Reply #189 on:** November 08, 2008, 17:14:48 PM »

he must feel much better now and he'll soon be home again

maryas · « **Reply #188 on:** November 08, 2008, 16:11:14 PM »

They do, but they are not showing it cos they don't want to worry you. And we all certainly miss him.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #187 on:** November 08, 2008, 15:50:36 PM »

Thanks

Actually they are nowhere to be seen and Ducha is upstairs as usual............none of them miss him, only me

maryas · « **Reply #186 on:** November 08, 2008, 15:23:17 PM »

Operate to get afurball out - must've been massive - you sure you've not got a cat missing Gill

So glad he's picking up. Sounds like he's in the right place for them to monitor his eating and drinking and giving him the drip when needed.

Bet mIia and Sasa are getting loads of cuddles from you - they will keep you going..

Fingers and paws crossed.

Love Mary and Bonnie. xxxx

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #185 on:** November 08, 2008, 14:45:34 PM »

I have a theory that bringing up a sizeable hairball leaves a cat with a sore throat (or oesophagus maybe). That would put him off his food.

He reckons that furball may have had to be surgucally removed if Franta hadnt brought it up!!

blimey - must have been a big 'un!

I'm glad he's ok. Stressful though it must be for him, he's probably getting familiar with the people and smells now and will be fine there over the weekend.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #183 on:** November 08, 2008, 12:33:14 PM »

Vet has just rung and he says Franta needs to stay on the drip over the weekend and has had a little food during night and this morning but not to worry cos he is doing OK.

He reckons that furball may have had to be surgucally removed if Franta hadnt brought it up!!

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #182 on:** November 08, 2008, 11:20:27 AM »

The vet last night talked of putting Jaffa on a drip to help get fluids in him and encourage him to urinate. I think it's fairly normal, esp with older cats, to put them on a drip when they're hospitallized. Cats so often won't eat or drink when they're in a strange place.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #181 on:** November 08, 2008, 11:16:35 AM »

I hope so

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #180 on:** November 08, 2008, 11:14:43 AM »

The drip will be just to get fluids into him which he will need if he's not been eating then has had the runs and vomited. They probably just want to monitor him since they've got him there, and the alternative would mean him travelling back and forth

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #179 on:** November 08, 2008, 10:58:19 AM »

Have just rung vets and am waiting for the vet to ring me back.

Franta will not be coming home before Monday and am a little concerned about him again cos the nurse said he was alright at the moment! He is still on a drip and being medicated so sounds like he hasnt been alright during the night.

Poor little man and he was bloomin fine before the op, although that furball may have been lodged which caused him to eat less grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #178 on:** November 08, 2008, 10:02:27 AM »

Thinking about this handsome chap alot. Very much hope Franta can come home today Gill. I can imagine how much worry you will be going thru till he's home safe, sound and eating properly. Hope you slept OK last night.

Oh dear on rereading your post I see you said vet suggested he probably stay in till Monday. Can see that trips to and from vet a pain (quite literally with your back) but also very unsettling for Franta perhaps?

ChrisB · « **Reply #177 on:** November 07, 2008, 21:24:53 PM »

Gill, so pleased things are improving for Franta and hope he is home soon.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #176 on:** November 07, 2008, 19:46:59 PM »

Thank you on behalf of Franta

Kirst · « **Reply #175 on:** November 07, 2008, 19:45:18 PM »

Beavis always goes off his dinner when he has a furball. He also gets more vocal as if he expects me to sort it out!

Janeyk · « **Reply #174 on:** November 07, 2008, 19:28:32 PM »

Poor Franta

must have been feeling rotten bless him but I'm so glad that he's getting sorted now

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #173 on:** November 07, 2008, 18:59:50 PM »

Poor Franta, hopefully the vet can sort it out quickly.

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #172 on:** November 07, 2008, 18:00:16 PM »

I'm sorry to hear the poor lad has been so poorly and that he has to spend the weekend at the vets

When Mosi gets a furball he goes off his food, so fingers crossed that he will get back to eating normally now that he's got rid of that!

I'm keeping everything crossed that his kidney issues aren't serious and that he is home with you soon

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #171 on:** November 07, 2008, 17:59:09 PM »

Just had a sandwich which was lovely................probably cos I starving

I do feel so relieved and aI bet Franta does too

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #170 on:** November 07, 2008, 17:54:59 PM »

So gald there has been a breakthrough

Maybe you can get a bit of rest now and a good meal.

Kirst · « **Reply #169 on:** November 07, 2008, 17:50:31 PM »

Better out than in Franta.....................tho it is very undignified having dirty trousies!!!!!

So glad he seems to be on the up"

bunglycat · « **Reply #168 on:** November 07, 2008, 17:47:06 PM »

Ahh, poor boy - cats do not like dirty trousers , esp. persians !
So pleased he is eating and got everything out that needed to come out !!
Hope he is home and fit and well on Monday .

to Frants

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #167 on:** November 07, 2008, 16:33:57 PM »

That sounds more positive Gill

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #166 on:** November 07, 2008, 16:33:19 PM »

Thank you, thank you

I hope they clean him up quickly cos he wont like his smart trousers being in a mess .
