For the love of Pete! Ozzy's med thread

[cavyslave8]

I'm thinking of you and Ozzy. Come on Ozzy!

[Suisan]

Sending good wishes your way. I hope he'll be OK.

[cutemomomi]

Come on now little Ozzy, you need to get better for your mama.
We are all here cheering you on. :)

[Brandilynn]

Stupid, stupid stones.

I'm leaving the phone on. Call if you need anything.

More healing thoughts for Ozzy. He's such a special boy.

[slavetofuzzy]

Ozzy made it through the night! Thank you God.

He has eaten and has had water. He is peeing and pooping. There is some blood in his urine but I understand some is normal right after surgery? Right? He is also taking his meds like a trooper.

The doctor was with a patient when I called but she will call me back to let me know when I can pick him up today for home care.

[Brandilynn]

Correct, it is normal right after surgery.

What a good boy!!

[Bugs Mom]

Good news about Ozzy. Keep getting better little guy.

[slavetofuzzy]

I am going to pick him up right now. Dr. A said she is thrilled that he is urinating on his own through his penis after all that happened! I get to keep him home too! I don't have to bring him back on Monday unless there is a problem or concern. Hooray. His next follow up will be Tuesday just for a prelim follow up. If all is still ok then I don't have to bring him back until his staples come out.

Let's here it for the Oz-man! Good news and I hope Ozzy continues to improve with some TLC.

[GP Estates]

[crazycheryl]

Go Ozzy!

[Lynx]

Good news indeed! I hope things continue to improve.

[cavyslave8]

Great news!

[Bugs Mom]

Good for you Ozzy! Now stay well.

I had to chuckle about your vet being pleased that Ozzy urinated through his penis. I thought, "Well, where else would he urinate from?" I'm so relieved to hear the Great and Glorious Oz is improving. Keep getting better, Big Guy!

[slavetofuzzy]

I guess that did sound odd, Bethie! But when the wall to your tube leading from bladder to penis is punctured, well, you can imagine what *could* happen.

He peed in my lap last night but not very much. I don't think he's drinking like he should be so I'm going to have to torture him with some power hour syringing!

He's very sleepy but I've seen him eating hay and a few pellets. He was not very happy with me this morning as I gave him a barrage of meds.

How will I know when to stop the Buprinex? He's getting .02 ml every 8-12 hours. I think this is what might be making him so sleepy but I don't want him in pain either.

I go back to the vet on Tuesday so I'll give it till then? Unless I run out. She only gave me a teeny tiny amount.

[Tracis]

How is Ozzy feeling?
