Re: Ruptured Bladder


Alf was more responsive this morning and the vets are happy that he is making progress.

He did have to be put on oxygen in the night to keep his saturation levels up. Also his Albumin levels are very low which can cause complications so that are supplementing that.

They have placed a feeding tube direct into his oesophagus in case he doesn't feel like eating.

It will probably be monday before we can tell if there is any permanent kidney damage.

Thanks so much for all your thoughts, it really does help to know people care.

Cheryl & Alf

Re: Ruptured Bladder


We are all sending good strong healing vibes for Alf, Cheryl.

Thank you for putting a post in Sarah's thread. It is so important that everyone knows how to recognise urinary problems before they get too bad. I hope her Thomas gets better soon too.

***HUGS*** to you and Alf too of course.

Re: Ruptured Bladder


After a reasonably positive morning we have had a set back.

He has vomited and there was a bit of blood in it. He's been placed on antacid & gut protectors, he's also back on the oxygen.

The worst thing is not being able to visit and tell him to get better and how much I love him.

Thanks for all listening to me as it really does help.

Re: Ruptured Bladder


What a shame you can't go to visit him. It might perk him up a bit to see a familiar face. Why won't they let you go?

Re: Ruptured Bladder


Have a chat with the staff and see if they will let you visit for some animals a visit from their owner is just what they need to get their spirits up.

Sending big healing thoughts to Alf! All fingers and paws crossed here x x x
