Over one hurdle....on to another


We checked on Taz today. He is not eating and has nausea. The doctor thought maybe because his stomach was so bloated yesterday, it takes some time to pass through. We're hoping everything is okay. We went to see him this afternoon and spent an hour or so with him. He purred, but he was obviously tired and at times would gag like he was nauseous. He's on I.V. for fluids. We're hoping he can come home tomorrow, but the doctor will probably not let him until he eats and hopefully has a bowel movement.

He will be taken off of Prednisolone at least for a week because that slows the healing process and the doctor is concerned about that. He's still on Cerenia for nausea, but the doctor is also considering whether to change that or not.

  1. Doctor just called. Taz ate some breakfast on his own!

  2. Taz has used the litter box! He finally did #2 and the doctor was very pleased. Of course, he probably isn't the one who scoops! I bet Taz feels relieved. It's been awhile since he could do that.

  3. Taz came home from the hospital tonight. He wants to have the run of the house, but he is not supposed to climb stairs or go outside. We have him confined in a room and decided to put him in a crate to keep him from moving around. He would have none of that. So we let him out and he is on the bed in the room for now. We'll see. He is not a good patient.
