Ronnie hurt.

[CathyW]

rang the vets this morning and hes in now. not sure on how he was hurt. bit his face on the left side is swollen. his tongue was out. there was a puncture mark (i think) he was muddy. charlie cleaned him up and ronnie came n got on the bed next to his brother. normally as soon as u touch him hes purring. but nothing. hes not not right. so they will be x-raying him. and putting him on painkillers. Been a terrible month so far. charlies mum is ill and was back in hosp. i was at the emergency docs got a kidney infection so i cant walk too well.
really hoping ronnies ok. miss my cuddle lump boy

[Kazz]

Blinking heck that sounds like a month you would not want to repeat. I do hope he is okay maybe a cat fight or dog bite. You never really know do you.

I hope you are feeling a bit better too everything seems worse when you are below par. Best wishes to Charlies Mom too.

[cats' staff]

I hope he is back with you soon!

[Shelley123]

sorry to hear about your problems.
I do hope Ronnie is sorted out soon and back home.
Best wishes to Charlies mum and to yourself, i hope you are feeling better soon.

just rang the vets and theres no fractures. but they are concerned about his eye.its swelling.(bulbus) so if that dont go down it may have to be removed. now i know cats can adapt with 1 eye missing. just worried.as u would do. and debbie a good friend of mine or as i know her as a mad cat lady.she rescues cats and re-homes them. had just brought a crate around for ronnie to reside in. because even if he dont need surgery someones staying in for a while.
now this all happened between 6 and 7-30 this morning. we live in a small turning. path out the front and a small carpark out the back.and no cars where missing. just wondering how this happened. white cat (the bully isnt out that time of the morning) someone said could he of been kicked?? anyway whoever hurt my boy just better wish i dont find out because i will swing for them.

So sorry to hear about Ronnie. Loads of healing vibes being sent for him and for you too boys mum and Charlie's mum too. Another time you just wish they could tell you what happened to them.

[dinky]

Poor Ronnie. I do hope he will be OK. It would be great if he could talk and tell you what has happened to him.Lots of luck that he recovers quickly and the swelling in his eye goes down.I'll keep him in my prayers.

[PoshPuss]

Poor Ronnie, hope he's better soon and that his eye can be saved. It's such a worry I feel for you, having just been through the same with Pandora. It's frustrating when you don't know what happened to them and imagination can drive you crazy. At least like mine he had the sense/ability to get home.

Kidney infections are painful too so big hugs for you, and my prayers for Charlie's mum too.

[CathyW]

just rang the vets. his eye is ok (phew) and hes having a dislocated jaw fixed. got to ring up at 11.
im still in pain but ive got my painmeds and antibiotics. so managing at the moment. although getting dressed is a real struggle.living in leggings at the mo. easier on my tummy, and putting a sock on well that was very difficult. i cant lift my left leg up!!!
thanks for your good thoughts :)

[Shelley123]

sorry to hear you are in pain and hope you are better soon.
I'm so pleased Ronnie is improving and that his eye is saved.
Poor boy, it's such a worry.
Can you chat to your neighbours to see if anyone knows anything ?

[angieh]

Thank goodness his eye has been saved ..... I know cats do very well one-eyed but to my mind cats' eyes are just so very attractive.

Sorry to hear you are in such discomfort boys mum. That must be a particularly nasty infection you have. You may already be doing it, but could I suggest you drink cranberry juice? As much as you can, it will help!

[yola]

Oh 'eck! Poor Ronnie. It does sound like someone might have taken a pop at him. There's so much going around now with mindless cruelty towards animals. I always try to keep mine in sight - not always easy I know. Dislocate jaw sounds awful but at least his eye's been saved.

I hope he's on the mend now and that you are too. I've been hospitalised twice by kidney infections and can wholly sympathise x

[CathyW]

rang the vets and ronnie wont take any food by syringe.they have tried everything. and hes fighting them.and if he dont take any food (he hasnt eaten since saturday evening) they will have to sedate him again and put a feeding tube in. so he will be in the vets for a few more days. miss my boy. :(
im still in alt of pain but the infection is slowly going.

[Shelley123]

just a thought BM, when our cat Jerry had a vets stay, he wouldn't eat the food offered to him. I took some of his own in and also visited him several times. Maybe this would help.
Could you perhaps visit and take him some warm chicken bits ?

[angieh]

Fingers crossed for Ronnie - come on lad, eat something and keep your strength up. Loads of healing vibes from me, Kizzy and Pip.

[BlackWolf65]

Sorry to hear of your ordeal. I hope you and Ronnie both get better soon.

[alexgirl73]

:( poor Ronnie, and poor you. As someone who suffers from UTI's constantly I can sympathise.

Fingers crossed Ronnie doesn't need to have anymore procedures and can get home soon xx

[cats' staff]

Healing vibes to you both!

[CathyW]

vets rang me and hes had to have a feeding tube fitted. and im having to ring them at 10-30 tomorrow.
im hoping the food will give him the strength to get better.
me being poorly means im just bursting into tears today.
reggie has had loads of cuddles today.

[Velvet]

Hope hes ok. Healing vibes from us for both you & Ronnie x

[PoshPuss]

Sorry that Ronnie is still unwell, BM and that you are poorly too. :( Sending healing vibes for both of you.

[angieh]

More vibes being sent to both you and Ronnie.

[dinky]

Poor Ronnie and poor you. Hope things improve for both of you soon. It must be terrible to be worried about your cat and feeling poorly yourself. I'm sending both of you healing thoughts from New Zealand.

[CathyW]

thankyou all so much for your lovely words. ronnie is still on the feeding tube. at least hes getting some food in his tummy. im going to visit him tomorrow.and im taking some salmon with me.(his all time favorite treat) and see if i can tempt him with that.
im feeling a bit better physically. mentally im shot. just want to cry all the time. :(

[yola]

Sweetie - I'm so sorry Ronnie's still below par and you are too. When Ripsy was very poorly over Christmas she didn't eat for the best part of a week. For days I just syringed water into her several times a day to keep her hydrated and eventually she started to slowly perk up.

I hope the tube feeding will help Ronnie gain strength ... I really am hoping he improves soon. Stay positive xx

[Shelley123]

Hope Ronnie and yourself improve soon xx
