Ok doing an update for Asher on both here and go fund me shortly. We are behind schedule obviously 🙄. It didn’t help we are practically brain dead and can only go for about 16 hours at a go at this then micronapping.

It’s so much harder to try to do this while making it happen without some sort of social media manager but that makes it feel so insincere so we didn’t ask for help with that part I felt.

So we update as much as both of our auadhd, life will allow us while also trying to both think clinically of Asher’s needs on the fly.

The pacing and speed is insane.

It burns energy like nothing I’ve ever felt but we both love him soo much.

I’m sorry we can’t keep you more informed it would be cool to be able to cross post about now because I feel it’s the thanks I can give back is to tell you about him and walk you through the process.

This is 6/6 Keep in mind the vet X-rays and tell us he’s impacted says he needs an enema.

Poor floof. The second enema almost killed him(Litterally) cleared the colon.
That’s by Saturday.

I took care of a 22yr old cat most older cats get constipated due to not enough water. Asher has his own water fountain.
So did Colby.

We figured he needed to rest after that.

He rested for awhile. Hours and it was Sunday. When he finally wakes up and decides to get up he can barely move.

We call the emergency vet which is an hour away. Ask them if we can give him fluids subq. Keep in mind before this he was peeing. He started to cry at this point but he was so stressed all we could do was keep comfortable for a shorter trip. He is not a good traveler. We have taken him on hour car rides we need to take breaks…Jolene says he gets motion sickness.

Honestly I have no clue.

I think it’s combo sensory panic attack.

So we do counting down the hours trying to spend as much time with him as possible so he knows we have his back.

Studies have shown, how long a feline lives does show strong correlation to human-feline bond.

So this is him on the floor now resting. We want to get moving first but again, he’s resting, and the vet couldn’t sedate him for travel, I guess because of his levels.

This is him now this very moment.
Here’s his Water Fountain.

The route and what we have to do yet is included in route description.

His condition is guarded.
The doctor would have repeated the tests if we had known we both had known but he called me on a Wednesday when they are closed to have kidney failure and basically his system is in pre-sepsis. The body of an animal can only survive so long I believe for humans once that process starts organs are starting to shut down.

What we need to know if this was an acute case to chronic case. Time would tell us this. However time is essential to find what caused this condition out of the blue.

I may have left out the order things happen for kidneys shutting down it slows the colons ability to pass stool. He was most likely failing by 6/6, prefailing, my vet agreed.

None of this is good knews other than he’s alive and happy 😃 he’s very 🧐 appreciative and grateful thank you everyone.

We said I think it was traumatic that he was gone from home and us.

Now to try to take him 5 hours north to specialists is going to take some more time as not to stress out his body for the trip. My vet mentioned some things that they can only do.

If anyone has any practical or professional suggestions we are up for thinking of solutions to make him more comfortable.

Otherwise we will just update you again with what Cornell or my vet thinks. We still don’t know his condition. He’s resting a lot, crying while peeing, he was Catherized. So I remember it hurting for me for a few days.

Regardless he needs looked at by Cornell as my vet and Cornell now have an official referral and contract.

Send good vibes and keep boosting the good vibes share the go fund me if you can please. Trying to do this on faith is silly I know but we have gotten some donations called in already.

So I need to call them soon now as well I think the plan is good. Just harder to predict the next few moments and how it can change.

It did for us when Asher left us I balled for 5 hours on Tuesday morning. I guess Jolene couldn’t tell. I couldn’t project. We both came up with this together as the easiest way to make people feel comfortable.

To at least get him through first tests and screening 1700 to come up with a plan based off concerns and options. CT, MRI? Ughh those aren’t cheap for humans. We will maybe try some other platforms we really love fedi though.
