vicemageWaited on this one because the last two times things were looking good, there were sudden turns, but he's been in good shape for about a week and a half now, which is a good sign.
He suffered two urinary blockages, was cathetered for both (pulled the first one out though), and after the second is finally on the mend. Urinary blockages are something that's a huge risk for older male cats, and are something that can be fatal within 24-48 hours without expensive treatment (which he got a LOT of over the course of about a week and a half). Right now, though, he's got his energy and appetite back, and is back to being a little brat. If not for the little bare spot on his leg where he had an IV line in, you wouldn't even know he'd been in such bad shape so recently.
A lot of people helped out with donations, and I wanted to say thank you to everyone who did, it really helped a lot, I was able to catch up the rent money I spent on vet services so I don't have to worry about that now. It also helped get his new (very expensive) prescription food he'll be eating for a while. Thanks, everyone, so much. ♥ Hopefully this trend of "doing well" continues for a good long time.
