Icarus Recovering

I thought I'd give everyone an update. I've been checking on Icarus every
day and not had too much opportunity to visit him because I didn't want to
interfere too much with the vet. Before I left the vet on Sunday, I left my
jacket with him so he had my scent and hopefully make him more comfortable.
He's very hostile at the vet and let's them know he doesn't like being
there. Regardless, on Monday I did visit with him for about 5-10 minutes and
asked about his canned diet being a bit more nutritional and finding
something that didn't have too much fiber in it. Yesterday, when I stopped
by the vet they were busy but they had pilled him and force fed him. I
didn't get to visit with Icarus though.

Today, the vet said that he's eating on his own and producing urine. He
still has the cone on his head but seems to be doing much better. There is
also a possibility that he might be coming home tomorrow. They said that
they'll be removing the catheter and if he urinates in the litterbox
normally then he'll be ready to come home. This has put a strain on me
financially but he's worth it. I really miss him and so does Isis, but she's
also enjoying the fact that she has me all to herself right now.

Thanks. I miss having my Icarus fix.

Thanks and I will. I doubt my jacket smells anything like me now. It
probably will need some good washing.

Fantastic, CP! I know it has been hard on all of you.

Thanks Cyber. Yes, it has been rough especially financially. Icarus is worth
it.

I'm so glad Icarus is doing better, we've been purring for his recovery and
will continue to do so. Let us know when your unhappy little camper gets
home again.
