Life are parte de o noua incercareLife is in trouble again

De la ultima postare si pana acum Life a mai trecut un pariu cu viata. Desi ieri plecasem cu el la cabinet in ideea de a-i face radiografii (pe care le-am si facut de altfel), doar ca, pe parcursul zilei am observat ca nu face pipi. Ajuns la cabinet a fost sondat, dar chiar si asa nu urina, iar tot ceea ce iesea era numai sange. Dupa cateva investigatii si incercari de a-l stabiliza (era foarte apatic si cu o temperatura de 40,5), Life a fost bagat de urgenta in operatie. Since our last post, so far Life has won another bet with life. Even though yesterday I took him to the vet for some X-rays (which we did), I also noticed he hasn’t been urinating all day long.  The vet placed a urinary catheter, but still no urine went out, only blood. After a few investigations and attempts to stabilize him (he was very apathetic and had a 40.5 degrees fever), Life underwent emergency surgery. Nu exista nici o certitudine ca va trece de anestezie sau de ce vor urma sa gaseasca inauntru. La prima vedere dupa ce a fost deschis, dna doctor a iesit si mi-a zis ca se gandeste serios sa il eutanasieze pentru ca a ramas ingrozita de ce era acolo. Se mira ca inca mai traieste.. Vezica prezenta o fisura mai veche pe care, datorita pozitiei si faptului ca el a stat nemiscat aproape o luna, pana sa il preluam noi, organismul a incercat sa o acopere creaind in jurul vezicii un perete gelatinos ce a colectat urina, sange si alte toxine. Tot stomacul lui era plin de urina si sange. Uretrele erau de 10 ori mai mari, splina la fel, iar intestinele nu-si urmau cursul normal. 

Avand in vedere insa dorinta lui Life de a trai, indarjirea lui si durerile pe care probabil le-a avut pana acum, medicii au decis sa incerce sa-l repare. Operatia a durat aproximativ 4 ore. Peste noapte Life a fost ok, insa dimineata facea iar cu sange. am fost dinnou la cabinet, i-au facut spalaturi si pare sa fie din ce in ce mai ok. Mananca, bea, este prezent si nu putem sa speram decat ca nu vor aparea alte complicatii. Este inca intr-o etapa critica peste care speram sa trecem, si de aceasta data, cu bine.There was no certainty that he’ll survive the anesthesia or the mess likely to be discovered inside him. After opening him up, the doctor came out to tell me that she’s seriously  considering euthanasia for him, as she was appaled by what she had seen. She found it hard to believe that he was still alive. His bladder had an old fissure which, as he had lain down in the same position, not moving for almost a month, his body tried to cover by creating a gelatinous wall around the bladder, collecting there urine, blood and other toxic substances. His entire stomach was full with urine and blood. His urethras were 10 times larger than normal, his spleen also enlarged, and his intestines weren’t taking the normal course. But, taking into account Life’s will to live, his determination and the pains he must have endured so far, the doctors decided to try and fix him. The surgery took approximately 4 hours. During the night Life felt OK, but in the morning he was again eliminating blood instead of urine. We took him once again to the clinic, they did some irrigations to him and now he seems better and better. He’s eating, he’s drinking, he’s present and we can only hope we won’t see further complications. He is still in a critical stage, we hope he’ll get over it too
