Bad luck about the ones who didnt make it, atleast they were in care when they needed pts and not left out on their own to suffer  :hug:

Yes, I agree with Lynn.

 :wow: fantastic news that Basil is doing so well! I am so pleased he found you in time.  Ear scratches also to Milo and Mabel.

Fantastic news for baz, I'm really so pleased and cant see any step backs for him now..how wonderful he eventually ended up in your care and has all the tcl needed to make a full recovery.  I think he has touched a few of us  :Luv:  Of course he WILL have to pose for a photo shoot to satisfy his adoring fans before he (hopefully) gets that well deserving forever home  :)

Well after a lovely holiday (very sunny, warm like it should be) return to UK, but at least it is sunny... My how things change in 3 wks, Baz continues to put on weght, he actually feels less skinny and no bones are showing.. He is still a fussy biscuit eater and just licks wet food, he likes to sit in the sun and enjoys company.  Last evening we let him out of his pen for an hour free to roam around, an hour was enough and he just came wondering back again... His coat is glossy and beside from the odd bald patch here and there seems to show no war wounds from his 2 month ordeal...He dislikes his paws being rubbed or stroked and no sure if you touch his belly, but likes being picked up and made a fuss of. I doubt he will ever be a lap cat but certaintly seeks you out when she sees you coming.......I dont think he will wonder, more a homely puss...

Really there is nothing now to stop him going to his forever home, his weight is just over 3Kg, could be abit more but he eats as and when and so far his weight gain is slow but sure.........He is getting abit bored, hence why we let him out........He can growl but never bite when he wants to get his own way...................We may (a big may) have someone interested in him later on in the month.....They rang up while i was away seeking the most difficult cat we have in for them to take on.........He is hardly difficult, but worthy of loving home..........

Will try to get some photos but he remains abit camera shy...........

Meanwhile we have some really difficult ones in our care........Milo a old (very old) blind in one eye black puss  due to be PTS at vets.....He is abit senile i think and has problems finding the litter box, but he desires so much attention................which he adores.........May very difficult to rehome him though.  Mabel, FIV and suspected overactive thyroid around 12 yrs old.......just dumped when owners moved out in Easter........what can be done.......................

All our kittens got rehomed 18 of them! but a few more came in......Beauty the while and black puss that Mark loved also got rehomed and Ali a ginger puss that someone thought they would try to shot (or at least made a point that they would do it) before we took him in.  Another two all had to be PTS, due to cancer (advanced) nothing could be done..........Poor Isobel our welfare person was having a terrible time... Especially as the fellow had such a great personailty, we just got to him to late.

Cannot save the world, but if everyone does something we can have a jolly good job trying too....

Today Baz weighs in at 2.93kg last week 2.83kg so heading inthe right direction, although slowly....!

He is certaintly developing his character, but still really hates you touching his paws and not to keen on being stroked on his belly.. He growls and will nip you if you dont take heed!

However, he is trying wet food every now again and has a likey for cat nip treats!!! Spoilt rotten is old Baz!

stray taken in to be neutered has FIV and no where to put him... Although a fiesty fellow, and the vet said very skitty, hopefully not feral.. I just didnt want to call it a day, only 2 yrs old ish.. Same area we took  in our FIV Isaac, so there is obvioulsy a clutter round that way..


BTW this fellow Bryson turns out to be abit of a soppy thing, hardly feral!! And good thing is i may of found him a home, he just has to wait another week or so....

We took Baz for a walk in the woods yesterday and he was very interested in the local rabbits (i live very rurally, loads of bunnies).. Nope he is doing just fine, will try and weigh him on Friday to see how much weight he has put on....

A right little character is old Baz!! He is now on our cat chat page...........

Baz continues to do well, we have him on a lead most night for a few hours, although he gets worn out alot.. He still only eats biscuits though... Anyhows, i have had one hell of a few days, of on  hols next week and all hell has broken loose, in 3 days we have taken in 16 kittens, and just today a stray taken in to be neutered has FIV and no where to put him... Although a fiesty fellow, and the vet said very skitty, hopefully not feral.. I just didnt want to call it a day, only 2 yrs old ish.. Same area we took  in our FIV Isaac, so there is obvioulsy a clutter round that way..

So not having a good week, so many apoligies for not doing photo, but will try before i leave on Monday...

glad everything went a ok and they are pleased, obviously his jaw must be healed fine in good alignment  :)

Do you remember what he weighed before or did they say what his gain has been ?? I'm sure they must be thrilled at the vets with his obvious improvement.

I'm so chuffed  :Luv:

Bas is fine if alittle unsteady still. He has been weighted and he weight 2.83K probably should be nearer 3.4 at least i say.. they are very pleased with him and although his mouth bleed abit he seems just abit confused now he is home.. He is very unsteady on his paws but seems happy to be home...

He dosnt have to go back at all, just now a matter of putting on weight.. We have left him to sleep it off tonight...

Is that 10pm for food Sharon?

I don't think that will be too much of a problem as he won't be begging for breakfast. I know what you meant before though. His stomach has probably shrunk so it may be nack to square one with the eating. Although if he's feeling better, he will make up for it in no time.

Good luck for tomorrow.

I rang up the vets and was told no food after 10pm and water is fine till early morning. I requested they deal with him mid AM rather then last and they seemed very accomodating to that... But wait and see...

Will update you tomorrow when he returns...

Bless him!

In the last few months when mine have had op's they have told me to take the food away at 10pm and water at 8am. Its awful for them to have no drink from midnight and obviously they get stressed from no food so will be even thirstier. I'm glad they have changed that

sharon the withholding of feeding and water seems to be advice that runs off the tongue from years ago and often their advice hasn't altered.  Basically you want the stomach to be empty primarily to prevent any risk of aspiration, the average stomach emptying time for food is around 4-6 hours (probably less) so its most practical to take food away at your bedtime or i always say 10pm ish (years ago peeps were taking food away late afternoon early tea time which is unnecessary)
Water however is a different matter and should not be withheld over night...especially for the more poorly/under condition animals.  If i was leaving the house at 9am I'd be taking the water away around 7 - 8 am to give a couple of hours before the anaesthetic.

When my tom (greyhound) was in recently i was advised NO food or water after supper time (6pm)..needless to say i quietly listened to the receptionist advice biting my tongue, said ok and did my own thing LOL..He was in for a dental so likely to be on end of ops list so therefore on their advice he'd have been without fluids for around 18 hours which is just bloomin ludicrous not to mention not good for his health at all .

If its a straight forward wire removal it will take around 2 mins under sedation / ga.

Good luck for tomorrow and i hope it doesnt set him back..perhaps he'll come on even quicker, cant wait to hear the vets/nurses comments on him physically looking so much better  :hug:

Fingers crossed for him - I have never been told to take up water in the morning though. I am sure if you explained the situation to them, they can adjust when they operate to make sure he isn't waiting as long without food. I do hope you can find that special home for him.
Lynn - long term resident also doesn't always mean they will be here forever, for me it is just a term I use when I know I am looking at them being here a while, such as Tom and Lucy - it never means they will stay though

What RB told me and what it said in the leaflet wer 2 different things. I think feeding up to bedtime will be fine as 9 - 10 hours is more than enough for food to go through the stomach. Definately no breakfast or even a drink in the morning.
DO NOT BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

You need to ask the vets but they are usually quite conservative and probably you will find its Ok up till midnight and I think they can still have water but your vet will tell you.......also explain that you want to be ablt to feed him as long as possible cos of his prohblem eating.

It does depend when they are going to operate but often this is after surgery closes.
