My little Frankie is in surgery

This morning when I got up at my normal time of 5AM Frankie didn't want to get up. This is new for him. Most mornings he is out of bed, down the hall and sitting at the front door by the time I turn off the alarm. He loves going out to play in the grass. So,  I thought, that's weird, and I went and checked on him. He was fine, or looked fine, but just not ready to get up. I thought OK, I have mornings like that, so I went about my morning getting ready for work.

When I left at 6:40, he was up waiting for his morning snack. (vitamins) and he seems fine. At 9 DD called and said something was wrong with him. He didn't want to move around, and cried if you touched him. I told her to call the vet and make an appointment. She got an appointment for 4:45. I thought all was good, but then she called and said, he can't wait, he needs to go now, he is whining and curled up in a small tiny little ball and will not move. (this what I was dealing with Kat when you called SORRY!!!!) So I made a few calls to the vet and was able to take him right then. So I left work, came home and picked up. We where at the vets by one, and by 3 he was in surgery.  It one of his annul gland that needs to be drained. Its infected and if it had burst, and could have sent the poison throw out his body, making him very sick.

This is something new to me. Never heard of anything like this happing. He will have a drain and he will have to wear a C-collar for a few days. (Rhonda, can he come stay with you, that drain thing might make me sick ) For once I am happy I am working tomorrow. Unless they cancel me for leaving early today.

I get to pick him up tonight at about 545. My poor little thing. I think the only person, beside Lisa, who knows just how small Frankie is, is Rhonda and her family. He is just 4 pounds. Can you say TINY!!! I feel so bad for him, but know that I am doing my best for him right now.

I will update you all about Frankies butt later..........Come on, You know you want to hear about his butt.

Hey sweetheart, sorry about Frankie. Hope everything works out in the end...lol (pun intended) We can get together later. I'll PM you my home number, I was calling from a pay phone since my cell phone is on suspension due to finances. Sending love and hugs to you and Frankie. xoxoxo

he came throught the surgery with flying colors. Since found it so fast, they only had to drain it and since we found it so fast and got him in so fast, there is no drain, nor was there any infection.

Right now he is sitting on my lap all drugged up. BIG TIME!!

Thank you for caring

Awww, I'm so glad that he's ok and that he didn't need the drain...I know how much you were looking forward to that...lol xoxoxo

Yes ma'am very happy there is no drain. YEAH for both of us. Of course, I was just going to make DD take care of that crap...lol

Take care

Hi Lu,

My hopes are for a good recovery for Frankie.  I love my cats and consider them a significant part of my life.  I hate seeing our fuzzy friends ill.  I am glad you were able to get him in so quickly.

He is like a child to me. The surgery is over and he is home sleeping the drugs off in my lap. There are no drains because we got him in so fast.

The vets says all should be good in a few more days.

Thank you for caring

Lu

Awww Lu, give him lots of snuggles when he gets home.  He'll probably be groggy, but by tomorrow he'll be feeling better.  Not back to normal, but I'm sure much better.  Sorry you both are having to go through this.  I know how much you love your fur babies.  Keep me posted. 

You know, once he's feeling better, maybe a trip to Vegas would cheer him up.  Then again, maybe not.  LOL

Thinking of you.

Love ya,
Steph

Are you kidding? I know a Vegas trip would make him feel better, but since he should do no traveling for a while, I might just have to live through me........what is that called proxy. LOL

My baby is in a great drug induced sleep in my lap, glad to be home.

Thank you for caring....

Love ya girl

Lu

Glad he's home with his mama, honey.  It's where he belongs.  Tell him you'll bring him back a present from Vegas.

Have a good evening and snuggle your little guy lots.

Love ya,
Steph
