Great to hear there was some serious 'movement'! I imagine he's feeling a lot better, even if there's still a load to shift, if he's able to rest on his tummy that's got to mean it's less tender and more comfy. I'm sure he'll do better now he's back home with you, toasty warm and snoozing. Please give him a tender little scritch under the chin for us!

Lots of these too him

LesleyW · « **Reply #181 on:** February 19, 2009, 14:35:14 PM »

Hopefully that is a good sign that he managed to pass something on the way home, much better out than in

Poor little love must be worn out, as you and Paul must be. Lots of

to all of you.

hi guys we have little Colby back home with us

He is very very weak and struggling to stand. They flushed out a lot of poo and have said they think there is still a load more to come too. He is however for the first time hunched up on his tum with his feet tucked up resting something he hasn't been able to do. We can still feel a mass in there so we just have to hope that his wee gut can help process whats left

He did pass some on his way home while wrapped in his towel so when we got him home we had to clean him up a tad. Wrapped him in a wee towel while paul warmed up his snugglesafe and he just lay there looking up at me and his eyes gently closing as I stroked his wee head

We've put him in his cage with his snugglesafe and gave him chin rubs and petts from you all to which he gave a grateful purr before gently closing his eyes and nodding off to sleep. We will keep a close eye on him over the afternoon and next few days and wait to see if he can find the strength to get his wee body working again.

Poor little mite, he's been through so much and suffered so much. I so hope he makes it. I feel like he is one of my own.

Bless his little cotton socks ... I'm sure he will be feeling a bit more comfortable now he has had his blockage flushed out. Of course I'm sure he will be a bit out of sorts ... visiting the vet and have his bum poked about with

(oooh the humiliation for a kitty!).

Sending a great bit

and lots and lots of

to the little man.

OMG I am so relieved that wee Colby has come through the op - my boss asked me if I was planning on doing any work today and I said "not until I know Colby is okay" he just shook his head and walked off and is now convinced that I am totally mad!

Sending all the positive vibes and love possible for this special little fur baby

Come on little one - you can get through this xxx

isn't it extraordinary how a little scrap of fur and claws, who you've never seen, can get you right here

I can't concentrate on anything else while little Colby is still in the woods

Isn't that the truth. I think part of it is because we hate the thought that our beautiful babies might have had such a turn in life if circumstances had been different, and we feel for these little scraps who so nearly don't make it, or who slip through our fingers without anyone to care about them.

I really do hope Colby has turned a corner. I reckon I'd be depressed and low in his place - his little tummy must hurt so much. I do hope his system starts to work - presumably there'll be measures you can take to help him?

Bonkers Mad!!! · « **Reply #167 on:** February 19, 2009, 13:28:52 PM »

aww bless him. hopefully he'll feel better after that clear out. fingers crossed for this little one

There are 38 sets of cat paws, seven sets of doggie paws and two human sets of hands and feet with everything crossed here. If thoughts alone could help, he would be bouncing about in no time.

Lots of

to Colby for a good outcome.

OK, just off the phone to the vet! there has been a lot of poooo....

Colby on the other hand is very depressed and low.

They have moved a lot but the vet has concerns that his bowel has stopped working and if that is the case then there is nothing that we can do.

That said after we moved this 'exit' blockage he did move down another 6 or so cm himself so we are taking it that is a postiive sign that the gut is trying to work.

All we can do is bring him home let him rest, try to keep his spirits up and take things slowly. I for one don't mind putting up with lots of poo for a couple of weeks to give him a chance..... and luckily he is with us so he will get that chance.

We are heading off to collect him in the next half hour and bring him home so please keep everything crossed that after all he has been through he can keep fighting on and his wee body will start to work again.

We need a pacing back and forth smiley.

Praying everything's gone well with the vet visit. If this little lad can do as well as Pedro, then he'll be a happy little soul indeed.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #157 on:** February 19, 2009, 12:40:27 PM »

It is very possible that is why they dumped him because he was a dirty kitten due to gastro probs..or the novelty wore off ... he wasn't growing properly.... we will never know for sure... as most of the time we never do.

Despite the malnutrition he is very small for his age (going by his teeth nearer 7 mths ish) and he is only the size of a 12 week old kitten. So he has a lot to contend with bless him.

All we can do now is try to ease out what is lodged in there and help him to fight on as much as he can and provide cuddles and reassurance when he needs us. Even if he doesn't make it through all of this at least he will have known love in his last few weeks

Still no news from the vet yet which we are assuming is a good sign... if I've not heard anything by the back of 1pm I'll give them a call to see whats happening.

Both paul and I are on tender hooks waiting on the phone ringing!!!

Hope all goes well, and praying like mad for wee Colby.

Also amkes you think he was dumped by somebody who couldn't be bothered to look after him properly (and get him the treatment he needed).

BlueHeather · « **Reply #155 on:** February 19, 2009, 12:22:12 PM »

Poor Colby - keeping everything crossed that the little chap is OK...

I hope the op goes well and Colby is on the road to recovery very soon.

Grass and Grit

OMG poor baby ... hopefully the enema will help flushout all the nasties and our little man will start to improve

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #151 on:** February 19, 2009, 10:16:59 AM »

God bless him -thinking of you little fella

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #150 on:** February 19, 2009, 10:04:36 AM »

Just caught up on this and wanted to add my prayers and vibes for this brave wee man and also for you Sarah.
I find myself wondering if Colby was dumped because he had a bowel overflow due to internal problems hes certainly been suffering for a long time poor boy. Hopefully he will be strong enough to cope with the enema and it will bring some much needed relief.
Pedro has everything crossed for him too,he knows what poor Colby is going through, Pedro was on massive doses of lactulose and still needed countless enemas; the thing that has helped Pedro the most was adding Pro Fibre to his every meal and actually reducing the lactulose to once per day.
Also dont know if this helps but my vet prescribed Emla cream for a poor girl whose back end was in a similar state.

what we got out was full of grass and very gritty.... so heaven only knows what he has been trying to eat to satisfy himself.

The pain he must be in. I so hope the enema will start him on the road to recovery.

sheryl · « **Reply #147 on:** February 19, 2009, 09:17:33 AM »

Fingers, toes and everything else crossed for today wee man, it breaks my heart to think of this poor little mite eating grass and dirt just to save himself from starving.

Positive, healing vibes for the vet visist - keep fighting sweetheart xxx
