💜 Pixie had hernia surgery today 💜

💜 Pixie had hernia surgery today 💜 We rushed her to the Veterinary Surgery Service Inc. in Fort Walton Beach, FL ( about an hour and a half from my house ) since they had an opening today. Pixie has another abdominal hernia and her bladder has again slipped through the tear. She had surgery today to put her bladder back where it belongs and fix the abdominal tear too. I noticed she was not feeling well Friday night and had not eaten very much and then saw the lump of her bladder on her belly. I took her to the vet Saturday morning, and they did bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal. Her blood work was OK. She just had a elevated white cells. Her urinalysis and fecal were both OK too. They did an abdominal ultrasound and saw that that lump is her bladder again not where it belongs. I secluded her to my bedroom and set her up in there with the water litter box so I could keep an eye on how much she was eating and drinking and making sure she was still able to urinate. She has been on Cerenia for nausea, buprenorphine for pain, mirtazapine for appetite, stimulant, and probiotics for her diarrhea. I took her to my regular vet first thing Monday morning, and they confirmed the hernia and were able to get us an appointment today for surgery. So we hurried here to Fort Walton, and she will be having surgery with the same doctor that performed it last time, Dr Wight. He said that he’s not sure why this has happened again. She could just have a very weak abdominal wall or it could be a congenital defect. They called and said she did great through the surgery. She’s resting comfortably and has good pain meds. We should be able to pick her up tomorrow afternoon. The surgery is expensive and the two vet visits she already had, then she will have at least one or two follow up visits at my regular vet. So I will be putting up a Pixie’s Surgery / New Years Sale on my website for my Fantasy Cat Art & Gifts soon. I will make another post and let you know once everything on my website is on sale. I just can’t believe this has happen to sweet little Pixie again. I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to keep up with the comments on her right now. I have a lot going on right now and it’s all been pretty overwhelming ❤️

Quincy is feeling better ❤️ Thank you

Quincy is feeling much better! 😺❤️ Thank you so much for the well wishes for him. He’s been sleeping all comfy & happy on his back again! Playing with the kitty tv videos on my computer and look at how handsome he looks up on the dresser 😻 Also thank you for the Christmas tree suggestions too. I will be checking them all out. Quincy has 2.5 days of antibiotics left to go. 

Quincy has been sick this week

Quincy has been sick this week. The short version, Quincy ate a bunch of the fake Christmas tree needles on Wednesday evening the 4th so I started giving him catlax. He threw up a a lot of Christmas tree needles early Thursday morning seemed normal the rest of the day and ate normally. He did not want to eat Friday hardly at all and felt very sick. Had a vet appointment Saturday early morning. X-rays did not show a blockage. Started him on meds. He seemed to get better and then worse again by Monday. Tuesday morning I took him back to the vet and he was being treated for throat pain with gabapentin and is now being treated for aspirated pneumonia. He is feeling much better as of today and is on the 4th day of doxycycline antibiotics and probiotics. Please send some love and well wishes for Quincy! My sweet boy has had an extremely rough week! ❤️

🎄 My Tree! (Pics before & after) It is coated in bitter spray to keep the cats from biting on it. In the past they would nibble on it a little bit, but not much. For some reason this year, Quincy just went nuts, wanting to eat the tree. They don’t seem to be bothered by the bitter spray at all. So as you can see from the pics, we have now put up a barrier around the tree and tried to block off the cats getting to it at all. Arya was trying to nibble the tree too. So far it seems to be working if I decide it is not I’m just going to take the tree down early this year and figure out something new for next year. I do have a camera so I can go back and see during the night if they try to mess with it or not.
