We thought it was the stump from his tail and in the end it was the prolapsed rectum. I have been using the medicine that the vet sold me and no great results, I can't keep him forever and a vet tech friend told me that he wouldn't ever get better more than likely, she said the humane thing would be to put him to sleep. I still don't know what I am going to do, my vet won't give me a price break and I can't pay for a surgery that might not work for a cat I can't keep.

I am touched by this story because I have cats. I have just given up six wonderful lovable and adorable kittens which I am still grieving for having to give them away for reason that I cannot afford to keep them all which I wish I could. Plus this trip coming in three more days actually.<br /><br />I would like to say thank you for responding to my comment left in your latest blog and for revealing my true name in that confidential communique.<br /><br />I hope the old widow will find pleasure in the company of Zipper as my beautiful kitties do in their new homes and kind owners.<br /><br />And to your kind vet, Jim, may he progress in his work for helping kind folks like you.Indayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591131757572208375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-26129753927521352312009-09-25T14:58:17.565-05:002009-09-25T14:58:17.565-05:00Thank you Wil but the vet and the people who took ...Thank you Wil but the vet and the people who took my strays into their families were my angles.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-25646222744923252022009-09-25T08:51:51.191-05:002009-09-25T08:51:51.191-05:00You are an angel rescuing all animals in need!

Thankfully not that many situations, but all memorable.<br /><br />My vet is wonderful and I have known him for 18 or so years since the days when he was still working out of his car. He treats me and my critters very well.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04469229581743468376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-53738586280269448032009-09-24T12:51:52.270-05:002009-09-24T12:51:52.270-05:00Cheffie Mom,

Sometime out the anus, or in the cases women who have birthed multiple times, a similar prolapse into the lower urinary tract--don't think I will go into detail, my sister had this. It is usually a minor surgical procedure.<br /><br />However, solutions may not be as simple. However, the story reminds me not to be too impatient when a physcian's first solution fails and I have to return. <br /><br />I agree I need reminding it is call the "practice of medicine."NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-60430983030968396592009-09-23T08:03:18.402-05:002009-09-23T08:03:18.402-05:00This is a new one for me.
