how did it go?

Surgery delayed, hoping it will start soon.

awww thats a bummer…why delayed?

Clinic running late but waiting too long now, anxious…

Finally home! Snugged up on a warm mat in his kennel, not quite ready to come out yet but alert. Three extractions, one very difficult. Love my vet!!

Harley was very weak and probably a little hypo this morning. My vet tech friend told me to get some Nutri-Cal in him. He licked up just a bit of baby food, too. Now he is up (but understandably grumpy) and has used the litter box. I will give him fluids and B-12 next and keep offering him food.

it sounds like he is doing ok…what is nutri-cal? is it a type of cat food?

Nutri-Cal is a dense nutrient mix in a tube that can be given by syringe when cats won’t eat. It’s got a consistency to hair-ball goo.

He has eaten a little deli turkey in water and is resting in a sunshine spot now.

ahhh interesting stuff. does he like it? from your post it sounds like he does. and sitting in a sunshine spot is awesome :slight_smile:…the cat im taking care of for a few months like to look out the window

I dunno, I don’t think I administered it very well, made a mess. But he got enough in to resolve the hypo. :smiley_cat:

thats good!! as long as it resolves the issue :slight_smile:

They look like they’re doing nothing at all, but Bootsy and Cleo are actually wishing you Happy Thanksgiving. :grin:

Yes, Cleo is the black one. The kids loved Cleo. I was the one who came up with Bootsy, and no one loves that. That’s okay though. I just couldn’t do Mittens or War Machine, and those were seriously on the table.

So thank you for Cleo. :grin:
