I just saw Icarus last night and he's in better shape today than he was
yesterday. He saw and heard me and gave a meow and was purring and crawling
on me when his cage door was opened. This all lasted until we had to put
him up on the table and the vet did his thing. Icarus was given his meds,
and Dr. Pruitt checked his bladder, fed him via a syringe, and of course
pilled him. Icarus took it a lot better this time. The catheter is also
dripping on its own and Icarus has received plenty of IV fluids. The vet
said he should be overhydrated. After all the work was done the cone was
put back on his head and the vet put some water and a litterbox in the cage
and then put Icarus in there. Icarus isn't a happy camper but looks to be
much improved than he was over previous two days.

I talked to the vet again today and he now has the catheter out and Icarus
is producing urine and emptying his bladder. If all goes well he'll most
likely be cleared to come home tomorrow. It would be a great birthday gift
for me as my day is on Wednesday.

I visited Icarus today and he's doing much better. The vet says he's eating
all his food and producing urine. The vet says that if all things check out
he'll be released to go home tomorrow. It'll be the perfect birthday present
for me.

Thanks. The only present I wanted was for him to be home with us.

Fantastic news. It's all going in the right direction.

Actually, Icarus is home now and recovering. He's producing urine but not
really crazy about eating this morning. I had to add tuna water to his food.
I guess when he gets hungry enough he'll eat without too much coaxing.
