Raven is back from the vet.
Turns out he is and still is blocked. He needs to unblock by tomorrow or the vet will see him again.
He gave me two tubes of Microlax. I gave him one yesterday and he pooped a little but he’s backed up about a foot long from what we could see with the xray. It all needs to come out.
🙂 I so glad it was notting more serious.
The vet didn’t want me to pay right away so I have no clue yet how much this time will cost. :scratch:Blackdesertwind wrote:Raven is back from the vet.

What are the odds of my having had the same experience with Milo? Most of the cost for this procedure will likely be for the anesthesia, assuming it’s the same major clean out that my cat had. I have to warn you, it might get messy after the procedure, but Raven should feel immediate relief.

Our thoughts are with you and your baby
My 3rd is Simba actually from his daughter in the Lion King 2
They gave his daughter in the Lion King 2 the name Kiara and I fell in LOVE with the name the second I heard it
My first baby was about 4 days old when she was found and I named her Kiara, adopted her brother and HAD to name him Kovu, then along came Simba followed by Miss Nala so all 4 of my names came from Disney. It’s sort of backwards from the adults to kids in the movie but they all work
We all know what it is like so hang in there and keep us advised as to th updates
I have had to go thru Crystals in Kovu’s bladder and he was going in the box but nothing was coming out
The vet said it was good I got him in since not going #1 coudl kill him from posining his systemDragon Master wrote:Our thoughts are with you and your baby

@ Blackdesertwind
After the clean out, I’d recommend sticking with wet food for while, at least until Raven recovers. I provide wet food every so often for Milo and it seems to keep his GI tract in check, and extra brushing also helps to prevent him from swallowing of excessive amounts of hair. What my cat went through mirrored my own suffering. Every doctor kept telling me “fiber, fiber, fiber,” but when there is a moisture imbalance in the bowel, more fiber can sometimes exacerbate constipation. See what your veterinarian says — was there a suggestion for a special diet?Update on Raven. He’s pooping but was sick twice since the vet and still blood involved.
One of those times was today.
He’s on soft fiber foods diluted with water.
I still owe the vet $175. But now I have a babysitter problem. As of next week until July 17th I don’t have one. 😮
She’s not available for that period.
Saturday I’m meeting two siblings that have a potential to becoming babysitters for Michel but they want to meet him first which I demanded before they make their decision. Most of them I saw and declined had not meet Michel so they just ran as soon as they would hear the word wheelchair or handicap. 🙄
Who said it was easy! 🙁
So this means if I can’t find one then I wont have an income coming in to pay the vet. :shout:
shit my life is a mess sometimes… 😉 ok well most of the time (90%) :shrug:So constipation was the only cause of Raven’s distress and he was cleaned out at the vet, but he is still vomiting up visible blood? After my cat came home from the vet following his clean out, his vomiting immediately ceased. Were you able to ask your vet about the continued vomiting? Did he have any explanations or suggestions? Is Raven’s system simply irritated? :shrug: If he’s no longer backed up he shouldn’t feel so nauseous.
I feel so bad for you. 🙁
I wish that I could be of more help, but unfortunately this is where my expertise in such matters ends.Poor Raven! *Hugs tight* I hope he starts making a recovery soon! Poor thing has been struggling for quite a while now. 🙁
🙁 Hey guys, been a while since I’ve updated this.
Raven is really not good.
He didn’t eat foir 5 days strait while taking some medication but even now that he’s off it he still won’t eat or drink much. He lost so much weight! It’s like petting bones.
He was sick again with lots of blood on sunday.
Vet wants to see him on wednesday and I want cancer test done.
If it turns out to be cancer or something else that is very serious I’ll have to put him down.
I owe the vet a hefty bill more then last time I was here…so far he’s averaging $900 in all from the begining.
I’ll keep you posted on wednesday.
I still have stuff for sale so if you are interested let me know.
The coiled dragon/egg is sold.
