My chest hurts

[Alan H]

I'm coming late to this thread, but great news about Badger!

[Scottish Chi]

The support and good wishes from you all has been very much appreciated. Just wanted to update this last time.

Badger will be at the vets for awhile longer. All the catheters and problems with unblocking have him pretty swollen and sore. But he is getting good care. It looks like he may have surgery to shorten things a little in order to lengthen his life. (ouch!) But better that than the painful alternative of repeating of the problem.

Thanks again.

Cheers! Bill

Thanks for the update, Bill. It sounds like he is in good hands at the vet. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the update, Bill. Poor Badger will be better for it in the long run. Good luck!

Regards,
Scott Gilmore

Bill, I'm arriving late to this thread but please know that anyone who has ever loved a pet is on your side. We just lost a 15 year old cat to kidney disease. I spent the last few months giving her IV's every other day so that the fluids would clear her kidneys. She was happy and healthy looking right up until the last few days when she went very quickly. We do extraordinary things for our pets and I admire your commitment to Badger. Best wishes and blessings.

Good to hear that Badger will be alright.
I can't even begin to imagine losing my cat. He's been with me for half of my life now!

Sorry to hear about your pet but I'm happy to hear Badger is getting good medical care.

I'm a dog person myself (although my brothers and I had 22 cats at one time when we were kids) and have unfortunately lost a few in my lifetime; the two dogs we have now (Seamus and Regan) are like children to us (my fiance and I). I can't imagine life without them but I'm sensible enough to know that will change one day. Until then, they receive all the love and care we can give them, regardless of the fact that they're 'just pets'.

Get well soon, Badger.
