US Results

Dr P was not about but Dr T was so I requested that Dr T spoke with us about the US results. It seemed that his renal pelvic cavity is not more enlarged which means there is no blockage in his right kidney. However the stones have not decreased in size (only the stones in his right kidneys have become slightly smaller but not the ones in the left kidney). She noted that it is more compatible with calcium oxalate stones. Dr T said there was nothing we could do with these type of stones but rec that we go on with the urinary diet.

We would just have to monitor his condition and he has another US in 6 weeks.

Toro in Hospital

Toro waiting for the nurse at the hospital...
We were the only ones there at 8.00 pm
He was a curious kitty and wanted to know the goings-on outside...

Totoro: What Dat?

Toro in his cubicle at the hoispital...

I brought him to hospital last night and it was very quiet at about 8 pm. I got him settled and stayed a bit to talk to him about the place and the ultra sound that he was going to get the next day. At first he just sat in his carrier but then later, decided to explore and tried to look out. He didn't mew or anything , just sat qietly and looked about. Then when I closed the glass door, he seemed a little anxious but I know the nurses would take good care of him as we had been here before. He was in this very cubicle when he had his urinary catheter. It is a cat's wing. There were two other very quiet cats with him so I know he would not be startled by sudden noises.

I would be bringing him home after work, in the afternoon but would not be able to talk to Dr P as she would be off at aboit 12.00! They said she would call but I had left my cell at home!!!

What his cubicle actually looked like. The nurse gave him some water and they said they would give him his food at 11 pm as his ultra sound was at 9.30 am.

Hello Ms Akira

Bujang on the lookout as this was the first time in many years that Ms Akira made an appearance out in the evening...
She looked out at the world...but yet safe inside the house...

She sat on the couch and contemplated the evening...


She rested for some time...

Then she took a nap.

On Monday, Ms Akira decided to pay the family a visit. After many years of not sitting with us in the evening, she graced us with her company for the whole evening, walking about and visiting with us. We were all very pleased with her. Unfortunately she has yet to repeat this historic visit alhtough I had tried to put the boys inside the room after dinner several times this week.

Just Because

Hospital Oh No!

Not again!

Toro will be going to hospital this evening for his ultra sound tomorrow. Since the ultra sound can only be done in the morning, I have to send him this evening so he has to stay overnight for the test. The ultra sound is to see the state of his kidneys as his last ultra sound saw that both his right kidney and his right pelvic cavity were swollen. He also has a urinary catheter to allow him to pee 2 weeks ago. Also I hope the vet Dr P would be able to discern the type of uroliths he has. So many tests for a little kitty!

Goodnight Saturday

Evening walk _Finally

Bujang has been trying to get me to take him out walking but the days have been uncertain and I had been busy with grandma. But finally, this evening we went out as it was cool and breezy...
Bujang walked about quite alot and saw many new things. This is the bin for burnt offerings and so was the source of many good smells..
The soft grass smelled good too and was also good to eat. he ate only a few blades though as he had things to do...

like lying FOREVER beside this broken bicycle and sniffing every inch of it!

He also decided this cover needed close scrutiny but before he decided to roll over it, I had to take him somepleace else. Iwas quite surprised that he went with me docilely with not even a little tantrum and didn't even snap at me or claw at me through the doors of his carrier. He behaved very well today :)

Well Let's See...

I hav many fings to fink about . I need to consider all fings carefully...
Yup. I made the right choice :)

Goodnight Thursday

going to zzz...

A rare moment

A rare moment for the 3 boys, all together on the family couch :) Its amazing they have not clawed the leather to shreds yet...but there is still time...

Our Only Advice

Our advice to anyone who reads my blog and wants to know if they should do as Dr L says is ALWAYS DO IT. If you are going to a*** and given sang hwang for a cancer kitty, the best thing to do is always try and if you can't bear to put in the suppository, go to the nearest vet and ask them to help you with it. Then after you think you have done all that you can, do some more. It is worthwhile if you can get your cat a good and fulfilling life. THAT is our advice. However, you need to discuss with your vet if you plan to deviate from the given protocols. God Bless Y2. May you get better sooner than later. M experience with Megat has always been this - Listen to your cat, your vet and your heart and you will know what you need to do.

We have been very lucky with Megat and he has been cancer free for ONE whole year. I take heart from the fact that there is a cat who has been cancer -free for 7 years! Megat is already 15 years old. I do not know how long more he has with us but I hope its long. All I know is I would try to help him along as much as I can.
