Anakin Update! It goes one step forward two steps backwards.

Anakin Update! It goes one step forward two steps backwards. Ani's poo issues are sorted out but he's still having issues peeing. I won't go into details but let's just say I've been doing a lot of laundry. I took him to the vet this morning for a Dexamethasone anti-inflammatory shot that should help. He's had this shot in the past and it has helped. I also took his urine to be analyzed but I didn't have enough to test it there so it was sent out and will have it back Monday. We really don't think he has a UTI we think it's more inflammation issues due to all the stress he's been through. Overall he acts like he feels a lot better. He's even been out of the bedroom. He's coming in the kitchen for meal times again. He's just not peeing where he supposed to. So hopefully the shot will kick in & I'm also continuing his pain medication and his cream too. Thank you again for all your love and well wishes! I'm sorry I haven't been replying to many comments. I really am exhausted from all of this. I hope you all understand.

Anakin Update!

Anakin Update! I think he's feeling much better today! He is still eating good & started purring again late last night. His bloodwork only showed a slightly elevated glucose level. They think it could be due to the stress at the vet. I hope that's all it is. I'm going to talk to her tomorrow about it all in more detail. Thank you again for all of the love & well wishes! You all are the best! Here's Ani looking better and showing off his new smooth look! I'll keep you all posted on how he's doing.

Anakin Update!

Anakin Update! Everything went perfectly at the vet this morning.  They put him under anesthesia, shaved his belly and part of his tail, clean him up really good, check out everything down there, and check him over real good, eyes, ears, teeth, bloodwork, fecal, etc. while he was under. She said he looks great! She didn't think he was as irritated down there as I thought he was. We will have his blood work back tomorrow. They didn't get a urine sample because he peed when they took him out of the cat carrier. Since is part of the full wellness check up I have 30 days to catch a urine sample and bring it up there for them when I want to. When I brought him home he was extremely wobbly, agitated and paranoid. He did eat all of his breakfast! Yay! I then set him up in the bathroom with a bed on the floor for a few hours till everything wore off because I was afraid he was going to hurt himself climbing on the bed or jumping off. He has had a pain medication however he still acts like he doesn't feel very well. He said it may take 24 hours until he starting to feel more like his normal self. I will update you all again tomorrow on how he's doing. I want to thank you all for your well wishes, advise,help & love! Also thank you so much everyone that made an order from my site sale.

Anakin Vet update

Anakin Vet update, It turns out that the Wellness canned cat food that Anakin has eaten his entire life went under a formula change. I didn't know this at the time & thought they had just updated their logo and labels. So I think all of Anakin's problems recently have been because of this food formula change. Looking at the Wellness Facebook page it looks like lots of other people are having problems with their pets adjusting to this new formula too. Wellness says that they made minor changes to the food formula. However I think these changes are way more significant than they realize. So Ani is wearing the cone again and I am taking good care of him. He has pretty bad diarrhea right now and is not feeling very well. Today I bought Royal Canin gastrointestinal high energy food to try & switch him to. Hopefully he will like it and it will be something I can feed him long-term. I'm taking Ani to the vet in the morning. They are going to put him under anesthesia to completely shave his belly and part of his tail, clean him up really good, check out everything down there, and check him over real good, eyes, ears, teeth, etc. while he's under. I have put up a sale on my fantasy cat art website to help cover these vet bills. Everything at Tigerpixie.com is 20% off until July 9, 2017. Thank you so much for looking. I will keep you all updated on how he's doing.
