Truffle on the warming pad in the examination room |
The vet came back from getting the x-rays and said she knew what the problem was and it wasn't good news...
The next words were "Truffle needs surgery." Those of you who know what Mom Paula experienced in the past with Sweet Praline and Beignet can imagine what her first thoughts were - CANCER! Thankfully, she doesn't have cancer, but the x-rays show stones in her bladder and one appears quite large. There are several small ones in the bladder, too. Mom Paula tried to remain calm in order to get information from the vet, but she did end up crying when the reality of the situation hit her!

Truffle resting on the foot rest near Mom Paula this weekend |
Truffle has been pretty calm and clingy this weekend. She is staying near Mom Paula (more than usual) and even climbed into her lap Saturday night. We were pleased to receive a message from Coryelle Kramer that she'd read about Truffle on Facebook and was talking to her. Coryelle said Truffle had felt some stress when Mom Paula was out of town (we suspected this) and right before the vet came back in with the results of the x-rays, we received another message from Coryelle:
"There's something else in the lower bowel. It's irritating it and obstructing but I think it will pass on its own. It's just moving slowly and blocking up the works."
Within a minute, the vet walked in and told Mom Paula about the stones. The stones weren't in the bowel, but there was something there and Truffle was trying to communicate this. Coryelle has been so supportive and sends us messages stating she is sending healing to Truffle. Coryelle definitely has a gift and Mom Paula can't wait to meet her at BlogPaws this year.
There's a lot more we'll share about Truffle's surgery, recuperation, the type of stones, the treatment and special diet over the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, we appreciate your special thoughts, prayers, and purrs.
Brulee is also acting differently. She definitely knows something is different...

ReplyDeleteHow scary for Truffle and all of you. Though this sounds fairly straight forward, no one wants to see their furbaby ill, in pain or needing invasive treatment. You can bet we'll be purring and sending lots of POTP to Truffle, and Mom will add her to her prayers list. 🙏🏻💗
