My poor Mr. Mao is still very sick. He's now been in the cat hospital since Tuesday, and really is not much better. He's had bloodwork and xrays; antibiotics, anti-emetics, and stomache motility meds through his IV. He hasn't had anything to eat since Monday, food just makes him start drooling uncontrollably. Wednesday he had bloody diarrhea. Thursday they did a barium xray study that showed there was a probably blockage in his ilieo-cecum (bowels) that was likely either a foreign body or a tumour. So today Mr. Mao had surgery which showed absolutely nothing! There was no blockage. I can't believe it. The vet did take all kinds of biopsies, but we won't know the results of those until Monday. The vet thinks he has severe pancreatitis that has slowed his bowels right down. Now Mao is on a pain patch, as well as all the other meds. His vital signs are ok, and his bloodwork is also fairly ok. I sure do hope he is going to survive this. He is such a good little cat, and the house feels so empty without him. Even Dutchess misses him. She has moments where she just stands in the hallway and yowls which is not like her at all.
Please send good wishes Mao's way. He needs all the help he can get.

Poor Mr. Mao! That isn't funny at all. It is a heart braking situation...
Fridolin, Maruschka and I are sending you hugs and positive vibrations.
Oh, Ramona! I am so sorry about Mao. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers and hopefully he will start eating again soon.
I am praying that he recovers quickly and completely so that you can bring him home and reunite him with the lovely Dutchess.
Oh all my best thoughts and Meows to Mr Mao! Oh, I hope that Mr Mao gets better right away. I am sorry that this is happening.
Poor Mr Mao. I have my fingers crossed for him (which makes it hard to type). You must be very worried so I hope they figure it out soon and make him better so you can take him home again.
