Sorry for the delay of Noah's latest pictures and updates! November 3rd, 2009:
Noah is doing well, but still hasn't pooped yet. It would be almost a week since he came to us that he hasn't pass a stool...and my vet palpated his tummy, she could feel a lot of poop in there! So, he's on lactulose to help soften the stools and hopefully it'll make it easier for him to go to the bathroom!
We also changed his bandage for the feeding tube incisions, and it was a bit infected with puss. We cleaned it up and applied some antibacterial ointments on the incisions. We will need to check it probably every couple of days just to make sure to keep the incisions clean~
Other than that, he's still walking kind of "drunk" and "shaky" on his hind legs, but he could walk...

Hurray~~~Noah made his first big poop this evening!!! My best gift of the day! We took an x-ray this afternoon to make sure that he didn't have a broken pelvis (which we suspected could have caused the delay in passing stool because if there were something broken, it might be due to the pain that he wasn't able to go). However, upon examining the x-rays, everything seems alright. Just full of "shit" in his belly~~~

We took Noah off of his pain control medication, Tramadol 10mg, because our doctor said that it might because of that med, that Noah wasn't pooping and walked funny. It's been a day that he's off of that medication and today he's walking much better!
However, Noah isn't feeling very good since this morning. He's coming down with a cold, rhino, that he's been having crusty eyes and greenish nasal discharge and has been sneezing quite a few times today. He's acting a bit more lethargic, not greeting me as happy as he used to...
My vet had recommended to add some supplements in his food to boost his immune system. Considering what he's been throgh, his immune system was for sure comprimised to a certain point especially on a small kitten like him is more likely to catch anything easily than adult cats.
His jaw incisions and feeding tube incisions are also both a little infected. So, now I have to increase the frequency of cleaning the incisions.
