Kidney for Sneagle

mrok12 · 05-26-2003, 01:00 AM

My cat just had a kidney transplant. I know it sound ridiculous to some but he is like a child to us. Please pray for him and the donor.. his brother shadow.

Hey Mike, how's Sneagle doing?

my BEST thoughts for Sneagle...

I totally understand. I spent a minor fortune 2 years ago on my male Himy on a total "re-plumb" of his entire urinary tract.

If you have a good vet and a pretty healthy animal (other than his problem that necessitated the surgery) my experience is that they bounce back pretty quickly. In fact, here is a picture of the little beast, post op.

He is home and doing well. The donor is back in the hospital. He developed jaundice and We yook him in Monday. He had surgery yesterday to explore why he is keeping a low fever and has white blood cells and fluid in his abdomin. Answer: They left a sponge or two in him! they are now absorbing a 6-7K hospital bill for the mistake! But they are caring for him so that is what is the most important

Oh man, that is horrible! No offense to anyone in particular who may be in the medical field but...

You really have to worry these days. For the most part things go well but we hear of way to many cases where something went bad like this. I hope for a speedy recovery for the donor.

Thanks, Guys! He's actually not interested in the fish at all. He ignores the tank totally.

His fluff is worse than his bite -- he's a total pushover.

Mike, We're all thinking good thoughts for Shadow as well as for Sneagle....

I am a health care professional. I have seen this in Humans and from his labs suspected this. He had an elevation in his White count that is consistent with an inflammatory process without an acute bacterial infection. I had thought that infectious peritonitus was the culprit at first but his temp was not consistent with that. After that I thought that it was inflamation D/T a foreign body. It turned out that was it. He has a feeding tube now and will be managed with this at home. He will make a full recovery I beleive. I still have very mixed feelings about the whole thing though and the sufering that he has been subjected to D/T carelessness.

Mike,
I'm so sorry your cat Shadow had to go through this

You're very understanding person(maybe becouse you're in the field yourself),I wouldn't be if it happened to my pet. I'm not mean person by any means but this would blow my top really fast.
I like to wish both of your cats a speedy recovery and keep their nine lifes at nine

Wishing both of them furry catnip thoughts...
