A PERSONAL NOTE

 

Good morning! Sorry that I didn't write to you last weekend. Things got
pretty crazy, partly due to this little guy on the left.

Last week was expected to be rather tense. My daughter's partner went to
the doctor due to kidney stones that have been unresolved for over a
year. They suddenly decided it was time for a surgical procedure.

At the same time, her cat, Sylvester, became seriously ill. Sylvester is
an 11-year-old bottle baby who someone had thrown out with the garbage
when he was around 3 weeks old. Our little dumpster kitty is especially
friendly because he was raised and nurtured by humans.

He began vomiting uncontrollably, refusing all food, and hiding, so we
made a vet appointment on the morning of the kidney stone surgery, which
was taking place in the afternoon.

They took blood and examined him then came back and told us he had
cancer. I was dubious because the onset had been so sudden. They agreed
to send the blood out to an independent lab, gave him a few different
medications for nausea and pain, and sent us home.

He continued to vomit and decline throughout the day. We dropped him off
and went straight to the hospital where we sat for the next 7 hours for
the human surgery.

The next morning the vet's office called and said that the blood samples
had been mixed up. They wanted my daughter to return for another sample
at no charge. They were shocked by how far he'd devolved in 24 hours. It
turned out he did not have cancer. Another vet came in to assist in the
diagnosis. She performed an ultrasound and quickly found the problem -
one I had no idea could happen.

There's a reason I'm telling this story in such detail. It's a
cautionary tale about a threat I'd never even considered.

Sylvester had apparently found some string to play with. It got wrapped
around the base of his tongue, unbeknownst to any of us. When he
swallowed it and tried to pass it, he couldn't because it was stuck on
his tongue. She told us every time he tried to poop, it was pulling his
internal organs tighter, until the effect in the ultrasound looked like
an accordion. The string went through from his tongue to his colon and
he was rushed into emergency surgery.

The surgery was extensive. Because it was in there so tightly, it
couldn't be done endoscopically. It was a 4-hour surgery on our sweet
cat.

The takeaway here: beware of string. I had no idea something so
seemingly inconsequential could be life-threatening. Without the
surgery, Sylvester would have died an agonizing death. Luckily my
daughter was able to set up a payment plan and get veterinary care for
him, but if that care were not so readily available, the outcome would
have been horrible. For many of us, our pets are family and our sweet
Sylvester is very loved, as I'm sure your pets are as well.

He came through with flying colors, mercifully, as did my daughter's
boyfriend.  Both are on the mend and the cat is still unhappily wearing
his cone of shame for another week. We are enormously grateful.

I hope you all enjoy this lovely autumn weather and a good week ahead.
