Annette Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Pogo's condition has been changed to a question mark. We are not sure what is happening with Pogo right now. We just hope he will recover well. On Thursday when he was in for his pre-op work, he threw up and the vet discovered an arrhythmia. We received a call at 5:00 am this morning regarding an arrhythmia. They are giving him medication for it. Also, even though he has been getting amicar every 8 hours, it sounds like he already may have significant bruising. Roy spoke to the vet school on the phone this morning. They will be doing an ultrasound of his heart. Quote Annette, mom to Banjo (AJN Spider Man) & Casey (kitty), wife to Roy.

tbhounds Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Arrhythmias can be caused by the premed drugs given to them--could also develop from pain. They may ned to get him on a lidocaine drip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum1 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Taylor had serious edema and bruising starting 2 days after surgery, with Amicar started the morning of surgery. The hospital kept him 6 nights instead of 2-3 nights because they have him on IV fluids to keep flushing his kidneys to prevent damage. He was peeing dark red from absorbing all the fluids.

Annette Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Just an update. Pogo's heart rate has normalized. He is hooked up to an EKG machine. He is getting 1200 mg of amicar. In addition he is on a constant rate infusion of pain killers in addition to a fentanyl patch. Cardiology is going to be checking him out today. We won't get another update until tomorrow morning if we are lucky. Quote Annette, mom to Banjo (AJN Spider Man) & Casey (kitty), wife to Roy.

Newgreymom Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Annette, You can call and talk to the surgical student or Dr. on call at ANY TIME. When Cooper had his jaw surgery, they would call after rounds, and then I would call in the afternoon and late evening. Don't feel like you can't call. That's what they are there for.

Sandy Don't worry. I call when I feel I need to. Of course, the person we spoke to in the morning said that we would not get a call till tomorrow unless there was an emergency. So the phone rings and it is from the vet school. Cardiology checked Pogo over and there are no problems with his heart. He is still doing fine. Now Roy and me on the other hand.........

Annette Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Got off the phone with Pogo's vet student this morning. He ate a full jar of baby food this morning. She said the bruising is not that bad. Also, instead of laying on his side, it sounds like he got into the Sphinx position. They will probably try to walk him tomorrow with a sling. I also asked what type of arrhythmia he had and she said it was a Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm which is faster than ventricular escape but slower than ventricular tachycardia. I am just reading the information off a pdf file I found that was written by a cardiology vet and it is all a different language to me. i just know it was not the worst case scenario.

Annette Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Well Pogo is taking us on a roller coaster ride. He has not eaten at all today so now they have a feed tube (if I understand correctly) in him. They think part of problem with his appetite might be the lidocaine so they are weaning him off that (he is still hooked up to an ekg machine). His blood counts have stabilized, so they don't believe they will have to infuse him anymore. They also think the lidocaine has him feeling "punky" and less energetic than he should be, so hopefully that will help him in the walking process. They have been standing him up regularly and massaging his neck area because of bruising there. He has a catheter in him along with the compression bandage, so that really isn't allowing him to walk well. They did manage to walk him just a little ways to the scale. He most likely will not be home till the weekend. We were hoping to pick him up on Wednesday. Our plans now will be to drive down and visit him hopefully.

XTRAWLD Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Sounds like a visit might lift his spirits! Maybe he'll eat if it's coming from you? Keep hanging in there.
