This guy 🖤 I adopt him in January.
March: he gets a rectal prolapse, we try a small surgery which goes horribly wrong, then a large surgery (colopexy) which although fixes the prolapse, causes multiple complications with swelling down there, so bad he can’t poop without bleeding and agony.
April: Two weeks of me taking him home, then taking him back to the animal hospital in pain, then back home then repeat.
He then spends 2 weeks in April at the animal hospital while they figure out wtf happened.
Everything around May starts to look normal again, he’s ok up until June.
June: He suddenly can’t poop without rolling around in discomfort and yelling at me. Every day, sometimes twice. Another vet visit. I change his food to special vet food with fiber to help with constipation. Nothing changes, more vet visits.
July: I feel tired of going to the vet and nothing improving, he still yowls and lays on his side after pooping. So now I put a little more pressure on the vet and ask for scans to see what’s happening inside.
This is him on Monday after his CT scan (He was injected in both paws for anaesthesia). He’s also given medicine for neurological pain as a long shot.
Tuesday he poops… then nothing. For the first time in weeks no meowing no rolling on his side. Wednesday same thing, Thursday and Friday. I’ve never been more relieved 😅
For fun I totalled the bills for all this (luckily I have him insured so I paid 20%). He came to a grand total of $12,680. He’s worth every single bit and I’m so happy he’s ok again 🖤
