Bollinger Update

[Redhelen72]

She is back at the vets for tests and hydration - the tests are dependant on how docile she is as the vet is adament that he does not want to sedate her because of her age.

[Barmaid]

Fingers crossed!  The vet nurses are normally very good indeed at getting even the most hissy, spitty, argumentative feline to comply nicely without sedation.

Fingers crossed for dear Bollinger. 

[Countrylover]

My fingers are crossed as well.  Get well soon Bolly xxx

[Redhelen72]

We are very lucky she is actually very compliant - they managed to do her dressing several years ago without sedation because she was very good

[Lie-in King]

Awww, poor Bollinger - I wish her well x

[wolf63]

I must have missed this, I didn't know that Bollinger was unwell.  I hope that she is a better patient than Merlin was.  She put the fear of god into a few vets.

I hope that she feels better soon.

[Redhelen72]

Well I have my girl back.

She had to have a drip for 3 hours, bloods taken and 2 enemas all without sedation.

she finally had a bowel movement when we got her home!!

she does have to go back tomorrow for a catheter removal but what a difference.

on the positive side her bloods all came back really healthy for a cat her age!

vet says there is *** all wrong with her other than constipation!

I am in shock though over the bill

[pastafreak]

Phew! So relived for Bollinger, as I'm sure she is too.

[Countrylover]

Such good news xx

[Redhelen72]

Thanks ladies 

[anneasquith]

Great news, is she old? More brown rice for you miss .

[Barmaid]

Excellent news. I am so pleased for you all.

Miss Emily waa positively dying last night. She managed to lift her poorly head for cheese. Mr BM says she is a drama queen. I think I might agree given she behaved like a lunatic all day today!!

[wolf63]

BM, what's wrong with Miss Emily?

RH, I bet she feels better after her visit to the ladies room.

[Redhelen72]

Annea, she is 17 so positively geriatric.

[ladybirder]

My lovely little Maggie lived for just over 20 years so a way to go yet for Bolly, as long as she's happy in herself of course.

I paid £2k to get my little dog sorted so I can imagine your shock RH.  

[Redhelen72]

I must admit I sobbed when I got the bill

[Barmaid]

Wolf, I think she is OK now.  We do not really know what was wrong with her, but she couldn't walk properly at the beginning of the week and was v lethargic.  Vet seems to think she may have had a fight and a big shock.  Mr BM and I recalled that when she was spayed and had to wear a onesie she had a fit of the vapours and "couldn't walk" for a week.  It's clearly her way of ensuring that her slave KNOWS she is a little depressed.  Metacam, cheese and a few days house rest seems to have fixed the problem though.

[wolf63]

BM, sounds like a drama queen.

Red, I hope that Bolly is doing well.  She is a good age but she isn't ancient.
