Harvey has been at the vet since Wednesday night, Dave just picked him up (he pulled out his IV and they aren't going to put it back in)

Posted by Andie Feb 17 '17, 07:22

it was supposed to stay in till tonight, but they don't think it's worth the stress to reinsert it).

They want us to keep his cone on for another day or so he can't lick the IV site too much.

he is such an easily stressed cat, Dave says he looks super-pathetic.

Poor little dude.
:(

(test results tomorrow - hopefully the IV fluids will help, they think he has a kidney infection and so they did this and still on antibiotics.)

I hope he gets well very soon. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 07:23 13
- Shall we play "Guess the total vet bill!?" Vet visit on Tuesday, stay at vets Wed-Fri. Blood work x 2. Antibiotics. etc. (PIRR) -- (edited) - Andie Feb 17, 07:25 12
  - $1,200 -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 07:27 2
    - should've gone $1,201! -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 07:27 1
      - Ha! I didn't see it and was doing some quick math in my head but clearly not quick enough. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 07:29
  - 1750. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:26
  - $ 1200 -- nm - Epiphany Feb 17, 07:26 7
    - Ha! Well done! -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 07:27 1
      - heh -- nm - Epiphany Feb 17, 07:28
    - I'm going to make you the winner without another guess - $1270 -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 07:27 4
      - can I say its a lot but then say - could have been worse?? - Epiphany Feb 17, 07:28 3
        
        Believe me, it could have been MUCH worse. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 08:05
        
        that's exactly true. like, sure, it's a lot, but, right, could have been more. Now, if the blood work isn't great, then the tests continue... -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 07:29 1
        
        lets hope and pray he is on the mend -- nm - Epiphany Feb 17, 07:31
Can you get a sedative to help him out? -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 07:23 2
- I don't think he'll need the sedative now that he's home. We wanted them to give him one there, but it interfered with the tests. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 07:24 1
  - Good good. -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 07:28
