Bentley is Home!!!

2TonksHere May 15, 2008 02:53 PM

Our little man came home a little while ago...

And oh boy, was Alastair happy to see him...he'd been calling for him all over the house since yesterday which was kind of amazing to me since Bentley was not very nice to him right before he left...now he won't leave the poor cat alone...I actually saw his eyes light up when I brought Bentley in...it was sweet...

Anyway...everything is all good...the Barium finally passed through into his colon like we hoped...the IV rehydrated him...and he started eating for them this morning...and was back to his purry purry self...the vet thinks the dehydration was causing the the post puke up problems along with irritation from the ribbon and vomiting...and the irregular image on the x-ray in his stomach must have been a big gas bubble...he said he's seen it before where the barium coats the digestive tract as it goes through and sort of fixes them up inexplicably...

So thanks to everyone for the positive energy and to the magic barium for making Bently all better!!!
