Captain V ruling the roost

[QueenCT]

New thread

I was thinking that earlier, Coaster. I really do love Ollie.

Well done @QueenOllie, get it down you. Watch crap telly and try to relax safe in the knowledge you have done every single thing right. You're both so loved, love.

Update
He's accepted some syringed chicken soup but that's it. Vitals are good and his bile duct isn't blocked
He's being transferred to my own vets tomorrow morning by a vet run I've paid for as I'm working and can't do it (8am)
It's curable basically but he needs to a) start eating and b) have the scan to find out what's causing the stone/sludge
He's on IV fluids, pain relief, a calmer, antibiotics and they're hoping he can be seen by my own vets, then discharged to me tomorrow and the scan brought forwards

That's about as positive an update as you could wish for. He's a stubborn beast and doesn't like vets so he's doing well in the circumstances.

I hope you know you have a circle of virtual support from all of us here on the litter tray. I hope you have real.life support too.

That's good news lovely fingers crossed for your darling boy, try and rest easy tonight if you can Queen

You must be relieved. Such good news - no surgery, mega IV ABs, I'm sure he'll eat when he's out of there with less tummy ache. It must have been making him feel sick, and they can stop that.

He's got a superb diet and that doubtless saved him from a lot more trouble - the vets must love you to bits.

Cap'n sends you a vast grunty purr.

No surgery just yet! They said the scan will show if he needs a sample biopsy or the gallbladder stone removing

That all sounds really positive. I hope you get some sleep tonight and fingers crossed he’ll be home tomorrow.

OK - no fun but straightforward op, either of them. Gallstones are vicious little buggers, but easy to get rid. They use a teaspoon on humans.

Am sitting here waiting for Cap'n to fall off the windowsill. He is now too fat to fall asleep on it, but the eyelids are drooping...I hope you're in bed Missy, you must be shattered. If you can't kip, even tho it doesn't feel like it lying down does the trick nearly as well.

Matt is being very loving tonight....

One arm is trapped under him, I’ve given up on trying to read the paper, and I could do with the loo and a drink but I haven’t got the heart to move him.

I moved my flowers onto a small bookcase in my bedroom to stop the cats snacking on the greenery.

That worked well 😌

Ollie is at my own vets, they've said he looks pretty miserable (where is my roast chicken and mama?) but not at deaths door

There is hope then. I'm so sorry that you can't be with him.

Still sending all my best to Ollie!

He is hopefully coming home tonight

That's good!

Has the scan been brought forward?

@coastergirl agreed. I love Ollie too!

@YetAnotherSpartacus not yet, they're ringing the specialist

Fingers crossed that he can get a scan so that you know what the issue is and can plan treatment. It does sound like the sooner the better!

Is he still on antibiotics?

Yes. Still on IV for the day so we can get as many meds in as possible

Good... I just worry that if he has to keep coming and going from the vets' that it might just be best to keep him there until he definitely stabilises and/or you know more about the scan .

@YetAnotherSpartacus just heard they can scan tomorrow
My own vets doesn't have overnight care so he can come home tonight and then be scanned tomorrow

Excellent!

That’s great! Hope you have plenty of roast chicken in...
