My Redheaded Boy is Home
Smudge's Mom > 11-12-2021, 08:30 AM
They pulled the catheter yesterday mid-morning, but by afternoon Paddy had still not gone. It was decided, that since I live less than two miles from the hospital, it was safe to let me take him home to see if familiar surroundings would make him give it a try. If things went south, I could get him back to them before closing.
Anyway, within 15 minutes of getting here, he ate, he drank and then he PEED!!!!!! YAY. He must have been very happy to be home because he even slept with me all night...very rare, indeed.
He seems to be in pretty good shape this morning...using the litter box, urine color seems normal (or at least I see no blood red). If all continues to go well, he does not need to go back to the vet until Tuesday when his stitches get removed. We cancelled weekend plans so we can keep a close eye on him, but I think we are out of the woods.
I thank each and every one of you for your good wishes, prayers and concern. Big hugs to all. -

Paddy is much improved. He is urinating less frequently and the output at each session is greatly improved. His appetite is back to normal (considering his weight, I am not sure this is a good thing
). He is able to jump onto the desk now and is back to running up and down stair. For a couple of days, I had to place him on the desk and he was limping while climbing steps. From the swelling of his front paw, I am guessing he may have blown the vein that the IV fluids were going in to.
He gets his stitches out tomorrow and will have another check-up. I think that the doctor will say all is well.
Thank you all for your interest and well wishes. -
