He is also pooping regularly but is still has problems controlling his urination. He tries to get up, which is a good sign for us. We had a second opinion and he was recommended 1 month bed rest and afterwards he will undergo therapy.<br /><br />Potato is a darling cat, if we can't find someone who will adopt him when he's all better, he has a forever home with us. He's more than welcome:)<br /><br />Love to hear about Gabby. If you don't mind posting her pic, would really like to get to know her too.Meowiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05542509120715092543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949082620744195146.post-18357459725498661522011-11-16T08:01:44.209-08:002011-11-16T08:01:44.209-08:00Hi Terri, Potato's a sweetheart and happy that...Hi Terri, Potato's a sweetheart and happy that he is doing well now.

We hope the best for Potato. Today I found an abandoned kitten, it weighs 9oz. Looking for a home for it due to I already have seven. Good luck with your new friend.Efi Loo Publishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344151113479309251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949082620744195146.post-13323270378961647702011-11-15T04:59:14.214-08:002011-11-15T04:59:14.214-08:00Hello Meowie,
So sorry to hear about Potato'...Hello Meowie, <br /><br />So sorry to hear about Potato's accident, but I'm so happy to know you'll keep doing what you can for him! <br /><br />I encountered a stray cat who'd been run over by a bike or car (never found out) about 6 years ago. She was just lying by the roadside, occasionally meowing for help and laying her head down in despair. My family and I picked her up and went to the vet. We consulted about 2-3 vets, actually, and the most optimistic one who didn't 'advise' us to consider putting the darling down said it wasn't in pain any more, but was half paralysed and probably could live for a year after succumbing to renal or liver failure. <br /><br />Gabby has been with us for 6 years. She's a darling who fights to live. They all do. Unless they choose to give up and stop eating. (Potato might need more coaxing initially because it's the 'shock & misery' period. He'll feel safe soon and start eating again.)<br /><br />For half-paralysed cats, they would need help expressing pee and poop everyday. And they might get occasional diarrhoeas. But otherwise, with constant massages and lots of love, they can live out their lifespan. I tell Gabby to enjoy the sun, the rain, and every plate of tuna she gets. One plate of tuna at a time. =)<br /><br />I'm happy that Potato found you!<br /><br />Claudine<br />http://www.carryusoffbooks.com/blog.html<br />@CarryUsOffBooksYanting Guehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788603550626277974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949082620744195146.post-53653670856191133982011-11-12T18:08:59.451-08:002011-11-12T18:08:59.451-08:00You're very kind to take care of this kitty!You're very kind to take care of this kitty!terrinakamurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047688875759049411noreply@blogger.com
