Just to give you a heads up...

Jiji(my cat) is in intensive care right now. That surgery I decided to blow my tax return on is going to end up putting me in even more debt. His surgery went great and the doctor said there were no complications. That was around 11:00am. I got a call around 3:30pm from another vet saying his mouth and throat started to swell up and they had to cut his trachea to put a tube in to help him breath and he is currently in the oxygen box thing they have. I did not get to pick up but instead heard this on my voice mail. They were trying to get my permission to do this but they went ahead and did it anyways because they were going to lose him if they didn't. There is a good chance he won't make it now. Strange that he was okay and then all of a sudden have this happen. They will open him back up and find out what the hell is going on because he started swelling where they operated in his mouth and also in his throat. Maybe a blood clot they said. The vet really was not sure but she said it was pure swelling. The operation was something that generally happens to dogs and this was the first time she was doing to do this on a cat. Basicly his saliva duct was leaking causing his saliva to build up under his gums and bubble up. It is rare to see it happen in cats and more common in dogs. I dunno. I am going to through alot of guilt issues right now. Mostly wishing I had just let him be. He was happy the way he was.

Just wanted to let everyone know. Don't get offended if i ignore your calls, get short with you or randomly sign off on AIM. I guess keep him in your thoughts or something like that. I guess I'll post if anything drastic happens(mostly if he is going to be okay or not). I dunno what else to say. later
