"Paul O." wrote in message . .. Well after the weekend of laxatone, the object had moved out of the stomach. The vet tried an enima to dislodge it, no luck. So, exploratory surgery was done. The object turned out to be a damned almond, a whole almond. I musta dropped it on the floor without realizing it. And he usually won't touch anything on the floor not even his spilled food. Just goes to show ya, gotta be careful, although things just get by us. Pick him up tomorrow afternoon. Damned expensive almond, shoulda told the vet to save it and I will get it Bronzed. -- Paul O. I'm impressed that the almond made it down there in one peice to start with. Hope your cat recovers well & your bank account is'nt too wounded... Cheers Mathew |

Wow - an *almond*, of all things. Who would've thought that a cat would be interested enough in an almond to ingest one!? Dufus needs to take the "Curiosity killed the cat" maxim a little more to heart! (So does Demelza, one of my cats.) Glad his problem had a definite solution, even if it was one very pricey almond. Yep, I vote for getting the thing bronzed; you could ask the vet to please dig through the garbage. ;-) Cathy |

Damned expensive almond, shoulda told the vet to save it and I will get it Bronzed. Oh my God!!! Poor thing! Wow. You wouldn't think he could SWALLOW an almond. Wow. Well, think about it this way, you won't have all the little dribble drabble vet bills. Gosh, you'd think the stomach acid would have dissolved it. Later on, I started to wonder... he didn't swallow it *with* the shell, did he?? (Thinking of those pointy ends - ouch!!) I assumed it was shelled - just the almond nutmeat itslef, but otoh, it seems like that could've slid through the GI tract okay... Cats. Sheesh. ;-) Cathy I'm very glad though that Dufus is OK. Things seen in stomachs on xrays are scary. This was at least fixable. |

Thanks - that's what I first assumed. Before I got to wondering more about it. I wonder if the moisture caused the almond to swell... (new wondering) Cathy |
