Poor Franta.
Good to know he is feeling a bit better, but these stones will have to come out, I fear.....
The sooner the better.

Hang in there, Franta!!!!!

I went to see him early this afternoon and he looks like he has lost a lot of weight but he has improved except he now has the diahrea that he had before he went. so they have starved him and he is so hungry. He started shouting for food.

They tried a sensitivity food which was a pate and mixed it with water to make it sloppy but he wouldnt eat it. I am sure its the marbocyl getting his tummy and he needs lacto B. Its no good not letting him have his normal food when he wont eat any other and he needs his strength cos he hasnt had enough food since he has been there.

He was brought to one of the consulting rooms so out of his cage but with his hated drip and the vet nurses love him and one was on duty when he came in on Sunday and says she can see how he has improved.

I see Gareth at 1110 tomorrow to discuss him.

I am waiting for the blood results for creatine cos they had to recalibrate the machine but his urea result hasnt changed.

Sounds positive gilly that's brill. My love and thoughts are with you both

ChrisB · « **Reply #1982 on:** May 02, 2011, 22:24:48 PM »

Really good news that he is grooming himself.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1981 on:** May 02, 2011, 22:22:13 PM »

Have just spoken to the vets and they say he is eatin, sleepin, sittin up and most important cleanin. He has used the tray without shoutin and say if he was feeling really bad he wouldnt clean.......he wasnt this morning, so sounds like he is brighter.

I need him to be strong as possible and as well as possible before the operation.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #1980 on:** May 02, 2011, 21:47:59 PM »

Topping up for Frantaman. And of course the hugs for you.

hoping and praying for poor Franta , and for you xxxx

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1972 on:** May 02, 2011, 14:33:09 PM »

Yes a vet could see me tomorrow, he is under a vet all the time but I want to discuss this with the vet that knows him best, all the vets have differing opinions and they dont really want to tread on any toes.

I think Geraint yesterday did as much as he could by getting the xrays done and bloods but he wanted Frantas levels to come down some more to make him stronger for the op.

Some, well at least one of the vets I dont trust, so its also important for me to see Gareth who I do trust and he also knows me and he is a partner.

I am sure that if Frantas condition medically deteriates they will be in touch.

madamcat (Edd) · « **Reply #1971 on:** May 02, 2011, 14:23:12 PM »

Sending more of these to you and Franta

jezebel · « **Reply #1970 on:** May 02, 2011, 14:16:15 PM »

Poor Franta, and poor you.

There's nothing I can say to make it better, I can only emphathise because I've been in a similar situation - cat lying ill in hospital and me at home going spare and feeling helpless.

It's odd that, given how ill he is, a vet can't see him till Wednesday. Is there no-one at the surgery tomorrow?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1969 on:** May 02, 2011, 14:02:09 PM »

Just back from seeing Franta and he is not well at all and Garath his vet is not in tomorrow, so cant see him till wednesday.

Its like Franta is so unhappy and his little life is draining away, he is on abs and painkillers but is in pain still. He cant have metacam cos of his kidney.

They think he is doing well but I think he is worse than when I took him yesterday. The nurse says he is getting lots of cuddles and before I arrived he was lying on his back fast asleep. afriad that means his tummy is sore cos he never sleeps on his back normally.

Also I took his food with him yesterday and asked that they mix it with water but they hadnt and he was starving hungry so vet has put up a note telling them to mix it with water and that he should be called Napoleon cos he doesnt answer to Franta. He also got a dish of food,

He does not have struvite crystals which diet etc would help. He has the other type that have to be surgically removed and diet has no effect.

Right now he is in the best place to keep flushing out his kidney but I see Gareth at 1100 on Wednesday and we will have to decide what is best for my special little man. If there is a chance I think I must try the operation but there will be a huge risk of him not surviving the anesthetic.

I am just a wreck right now and life is just standing still cos I cant do anything.

I will get an update on hime tonight and go and see him tomorrow, its all I can do for him, I so wish I could help him more

Jiji · « **Reply #1968 on:** May 02, 2011, 11:40:09 AM »

So sorry to hear Franta is poorly again, I hope he is well enough for the operation tomorrow and that everything goes well

JackSpratt · « **Reply #1967 on:** May 02, 2011, 11:13:26 AM »

Hoping for improvement for Frantaman.

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #1966 on:** May 02, 2011, 11:02:23 AM »

Sorry to hear our handsome man is back at the vets

Keeping everything crossed for him

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1965 on:** May 02, 2011, 10:35:39 AM »

I am off to vist him in next few minutes

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #1964 on:** May 02, 2011, 10:08:09 AM »

I'm so sorry Gill. All this you're having to go through!

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #1963 on:** May 02, 2011, 09:21:10 AM »

Agree that Franta wouldn't have come this far without being a fighter Gill. Fingers crossed that he has a good day today and tomorrow goes well

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #1962 on:** May 02, 2011, 08:47:34 AM »

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #1961 on:** May 02, 2011, 07:08:28 AM »

Gill

I think the fact that Franta was born on a Friday the 13th is an auspicious sign, a beautiful gift that became your very own personal joy, so try not to be fearful

Franta's a fighter indeed, as others have said.

At least if he has the operation, you're giving him a chance, a fighting chance, and Geraint will do his level best for a positive outcome. Let us know how he is.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #1960 on:** May 02, 2011, 00:02:53 AM »

I agree Franta is a fighter

Am just got everything crossed that Frantas levels will be ok for Tuesday

Gill just know how you are feeling and I know we are all thinking about you including me.

maryas · « **Reply #1959 on:** May 01, 2011, 23:31:15 PM »

So let's think about how we are gonna spend Franta's 18th birthday. He and Bonnie might want to have a romantic dinner for 2 but I think everyone should join in

He's a strong little hugger even though he only has 1 kidney and they will monitor him well when he is having his op Gill.

Mary and Bonnie xx

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1958 on:** May 01, 2011, 22:50:32 PM »

Franta will be 18 on 13 Aug, he was born on Fri 13th and I am so supersticious..............

The op will take about an hour so thats quite long I think.

I am just destroyed at the moment

bunglycat · « **Reply #1957 on:** May 01, 2011, 22:44:56 PM »

So sorry Gill , hope he recovers well enough to have the op and then goes on to a full recovery -poor boy

Loads of get well vibes and

sent for him and all of you .

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #1956 on:** May 01, 2011, 22:43:46 PM »

So sorry to hear this Gill

Poor little lamb
