Update on Magnus

Magnus is back home from the vet.
it was all a very scary situation and i was lucky there was a cancellation so he could be seen. Dr. D. did a quick exam attempted stimulation and took him back for an enema. I was told i would be called later with an update. 4 hours later I called them, and was told that Dr. D. was just now finishing with his last patient and would be calling asap.
He is a very popular doctor so has many patients to see.
I do not envy him his hours 8am to 6pm then an hour more for office and calls.

He went through with me all that was done. It was 4 enemas, an X-ray, a slight wormer just in case he did pick something up from mom. A tiny bit of med to help pass stuff, lubrication and all. I was not painted a Rosy picture. I was warned that Magnus might be going into kitten fail.

Which is why I really like this vet. He gives an honest answer nothing sugar coated. He also cares, many times he has not charged for things that he has done. This appointment could have been so much more expensive with another vet who would insist on test after test.
I was told that the stool that was passed went from hard to somewhat mushy on the last enema so hopefully things were knocked loose. the bad news is that there is a lot of gas in his intestines which means that things are not moving as they should. So prayers are needed for this little baby who is only 10days old.
