Harrumph

Just got back from the vet with Musti. Took longer than expected, as the vet figured it would make sense to remove the mammary gland tumour she had, too, as it had definitely taken a turn for the worse lately, and she was asleep for the blood test anyway.

Turned out it wasn't just one tumour but one large and three smaller growths. Eugh. Poor Musti. :-/ The surgery went well though, the vet said.

She's been waking up a bit already, but mostly asleep and in that post-narcosis very confused state.

Her ear's a lot worse than before, though. :-/ The tumour there has grown and has been leaking blood and pus and stuff lately... will definitely need to be operated, fairly soon. Not before she's better from today's operation though, so probably not for a few weeks yet (will only get the stitches taken out in two weeks).

Won't know about the blood test results until tomorrow. I do hope her diabetes hasn't got any worse at least.

Eh. Poor Musti. :-/ It does seem that anything she could possibly have, she does. At least I think/hope the bladder infection's better at last - well, will know after the blood test.

Should still go out again today to the post office and stuff... blegh. Tired. Not very cold today, -3°C or so, but very windy, which means extremely leaky eyes and nose outdoors.

*hugs*

Poor Musti - indeed it seems like when some cats get stuff they get EVERYTHING (had a cat like that once)...

I hope that both of you feel better soon!

*more hugs*

Yeah, exactly. And the moment one thing gets more or less sorted out, something else takes a turn for the worse, and so on. It's a bit discouraging. :-/

Her ear really worries me. Not much we can do about it though.

Ugh. Just remembered that I'll need to go out whether I feel like it or not, as we need stuff for cleaning her wound now.

Thank you.

{{hugs}} you and *scritches* Musti

Seems when one thing starts to be fixed, something else has to act up, poor thing.

[identity profile] kribu.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, quite. :-/

She really does seem to be like that, yes.

Poor Musti - it's not fun being a little cat sometimes. And it's heartbreaking being their owners and seeing them suffer. *hugs* to you and *gentle stroking* for Musti.

It's not fun like this, no.

The poor little thing is now in the waking-up-but-confused stage, and insists on climbing onto the sofa and wherever (or finding the dustiest corner under the table) ... not a good idea considering she's got a fresh stomach wound, but when she starts going, she goes. Blegh. Just spent 15 minutes trying to manoeuvre her onto a blanket on the sofa just to get her down from there without her deciding to fall off it on her own.

Just how does one explain to a confused cut-up kitty that she's really not to climb around right now?

*hugs you and scritches Musti behind her good ear

Zorro waves a sympathetic paw towards Musti.

Thank you. It's terrible when your little friends get ill. :-/

*hugs* I'm sorry. That's so hard on all of you. :-(

[identity profile] kribu.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. It's tough, yes. :-(

Good that the vet thought the surgery went well enough, but poor Musti! One thing after another...

*hugs*

[identity profile] kribu.livejournal.com 2009-01-16 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Poor Musti, yes. :-/ She probably doesn't get why we're torturing her so, either...

Oh, poor dear.

When I had my cat back from the same kind of surgery I had to block all the spaces under the furniture, because she wanted to crawl under and stay there. After that, she tried to climb - I ended up holding her in my arms almost without interruption for two days.

*hugs*

I don't think we'll manage to keep her back properly... no idea why they insist on climbing! She's currently snoring on mum's pillows in her bed under the blanket (no, we didn't put her there; she found her own way there while we were off getting hydrogen peroxide solution for her wound).

Have now bought two brand new soft comfy kitty bed / nest things, in the hopes that she might prefer those to climbing around randomly at night.

Poor Musti. She seems to be getting one thing after, I hope she'll be better soon.

*hugs you*
*strokes Musti gently*

[identity profile] kribu.livejournal.com 2009-01-17 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. I hope so too. At least she was just drinking quite a bit now - she didn't care about that at all yesterday.

*fluffs Musti's aura*
*fluffs Kribu's aura too*

I hope the little one feels better soon.

[identity profile] kribu.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

With the way things have been going today... I don't think she's going to make it. :-/ But I guess there's still a bit of hope.

[identity profile] ozymandiasrex.livejournal.com 2009-01-18 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Damnation! I will cling to the hope then. In the mean time, you and your mom and all your girls are in my thoughts.

Oh, poor kitty! Big hugs for you and gentle hugs for her! I hope the blood tests come back okay and that her ear doesn't get any worse before it can be sorted.

[identity profile] kribu.livejournal.com 2009-01-19 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. The blood test results showed improvement... unfortunately she's taken a definite turn for the worse post-surgery, not eating and not managing to drink on her own either. I'm still hoping she'll pull through, but... blegh.
