Can you get her interested in playing with anything Dawn?  Would she follow a toy with her eyes if you dangled one in front of her?  Bengals are always very playful and if she shows absolutely no interest (even if she doesn't get up), I would be worried.  Is she sitting in a 'hunched up' position? 

I know how quickly bengals can deteriorate (because of Dubes) so if you are worried I would definitely ask Sean if he thinks it would be prudent to admit her for a day or two, so that she can be monitored.  It would take the worry out of the situation for you and you would know that she is in the best place should anything go wrong with her recovery.  Anaesthetic is dangerous for some cats and we know that Becky has some medical problems.

(Btw I know it wouldn't stop you worrying but what I'm trying to say is that, for me at least, whenever I have a cat at home who is causing me concern, I just can't stop checking up on them to make sure they're still alive!!!)

Get well soon Becky.

Lots of love

Roz

Becky had me rushing to the vets with her a couple of months ago when she sounded as if she was dying, I got Sean out of surgery to look at her and the little minx was fine  :sneaky:

I'm worried about her with her op though, she's not eaten anything at all and she's not been to the loo yet.  Normally she's so bright and is the first to the food dish but she's just lying there, so it's so out of character  :'(

Hi Dawn,

Have to say that neither of my bengals made a fuss when they were spayed.  In fact, Ruby ran between my hubby's legs when he opened the front door to come in (it was February and still dark outside at 6 pm) and I couldn't find her!!!  I took a torch outside and the bloomin' thing packed up on me (I invested in a rechargeable one after that...one of my best buys).

The little git decided to come in at 6 am the following morning...apparently none the worse for wear.  I'd been sitting up all night waiting for her! 

Dubes didn't seem to suffer either.  But bengals do make weird sounds...quite unlike any other cat...and they invariably announce when they are going to be sick so you can prepare for it!!

I just hope that it is because Becky's feeling sore after the op.

Sending lots of healing thoughts to our little patient :get well 3:.

For anyone who doesn't know Ruby was my F3 bengal who would have been 12 this year but who was killed on the road at aged just four.  She loved being out and about and would normally potter in and out of the house but I always worried about her.  We developed the cat-proofing system after she was killed to keep all my other cats safe but I still miss my little Ru Ru and always will.  I don't think I had a happy day for five years after she was killed....

Lots of love

Roz

She's still not happy today, I'm waiting for Sean to phone me back.  She had Rimidyl yesterday which should last about 2 days and with having all her insides checked out as well, she is probably sore from that as well.  Her tummy seemed quite swollen last night  :'(

When we collected Mellika from her spay the vets said they had been worried because she was making "blood curdling howls" luckily one of the vets knows Bengals and said its a Bengaly thing - she was fine when we picked her up - little booger  :rofl:

Estella milked it for all it was worth T and you fell for it  :evillaugh:  :rofl: I still remember the little dance ;)


Dawn maybe some extra pain relief? I remember T letting me know Estella had to be rushed back in to get the pain relief after her spay. And Benglies can make the hellish of all noises!

When Estella bengal was spayed she too made blood curdling noises and ended up going in for extra pain relief, think its just another bengal thing some milk it for all its worth.

Becky is now home bless her but she's not happy at all  :'(  She was making a horrible crying noise in the vets when she saw me so I just hope she's not in any pain.  I've had to put her in a hospital cage for now with some chicken, hopefully she'll be feeling a little better later.

Thanks for all the good wishes  :hug:  :hug:  I was going to try and get some kip earlier as I hardly had any sleep last night, but I can't relax until I get her home   :Luv2:   I'll be picking her up shortly  :yayyy:

If Im not mistaken the liver enzymes could be related to the pancreas. 

Sean did say her Pancreas was enlarged so that may explain it.  I'll have a chat to him if he's there when I pick her up  :hug:

That is terrific news....I hardly dared look at this thread but knew I had to...  What a relief Dawn.

Let's hope the little star goes from strength to strength and that her bloods don't show anything that cannot be sorted.

Well done Becky  :hug:

There's still something causing her liver enzymes to be raised but we'll have to wait to see what the bloods show up, he said when you feel her tummy, here seems to be a lot in there but on checking, everything is normal.  He was surprised her intestines weren't thickened in view of where she came from but again, they are a nice colour and normal.  I just hope something shows up on the bloods now to explain her liver enzymes  :tired:

After a worrying few hours for me, Becky is absolutely fine  :Luv:  :Luv:  Everything looks normal apart from her Pancreas being a little on the large side, her kidneys and liver and even her intestines look fine  :)  He's done some more bloods on her but I think these ones are being sent off but I'll find out when I pick her up.  I feel totally drained now but very, very relieved  ;D  Becky is just waking up so I can pick her up later  :)
