Mr. Fez's Memoirs

Thank You

This is Mr. Fez's Mom.

I would like to say thank you to all the kitties who have left nice p-mails, rosettes, and forums posts of condolences for the loss of Mr. Fez. He was a very special kitty and very loved. This has been the hardest thing I've ever been through - you just don't ever think something like that will ever happen.

Mr. Fez update

This is Mr. Fez's Mom,

I rushed Mr. Fez back to the vet last night. I found him crying in his cat bed, disorientated, and he could hardly move. He had gone into liver failure... my vet feels from one of the meds (diazepam) he was on after his urinary blockage last weekend, but an extremely rare side effect - maybe 1/5,000. Unfortunately, he did did not respond to treatment and declined over the night. I made the very painful decision to send him to the Bridge early this morning. He was only 4 years old and I miss him terribly.

Emergency Clinic

My new year did NOT get off to a very good start. I spent the weekend at the veterinary emergency clinic! I had a urinary obstruction and couldn't go. Mom rushed me to the ER and they admitted me to ICU, inserted a catheter to drain my bladder, ran some labs, and did an ultrasound (which showed an inflamed bladder wall and tons of sediment). I was discharged Monday morning... but am still having problems... I'm constantly in the litterbox going small amounts. My regular vet checked me out and I'm not re-blocked, but am probably sore from the catheter (the ER vet said I have a very narrow urethra) and having bladder spasms. So, I'm on a few different meds and prescription food (which I don't really like). Hopefully I'll be feeling better soon.
