K'Cee to the VET!!

[zippy-kat]

Not sure what's going on but something is happening where her stitches (from the spay) were. She was moaning while grooming her belly...low and behold there's a purpley-red skinned place. Looks like an defunkt oval. Hope it's nothing serious!!!

Vet's at lunch -- hope he can get her in ASAP!!!

Can't write much more at the moment... I'm tearing up! :(

Thanks guys...

I just called... I can either get her in w/ the not-so-good vet at 3pm ~*OR*~ drop her off at the good vet's tomorrow at 8am. I'm opting for the second.

Dad's at home cat-sitting for me. :D (Don't tell the other 2, but I think K'Cee is dad's favorite of our kittykats!)

I don't think 8am can come soon enough!

[tatsxxx11]

Oh no, Zippy....:( We're sending you and K'cee our love and prayers. Hope the precious one gets in to see the vet very soon. Please let us know when you hear something. As Phred says, hopefully it's just a little irritation or infection. Thinking of you with all paws and fingers crossed. {{{hugs}}}

Just read your 2nd post.......can't wait till 8am!! K'Cee couldn't have a better kitty sitter!:) Good job, G-pa!!:)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

All fingers and paws crossed here for sweet K'Cee. Extra prayers on the way too.

[slick]

Here's hoping is just a simple irritation and nothing serious. I'll check in tomorrow morning for an update. Luv and prayers on the way!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh NO!!! Not K'Cee!!! We all hope it's nothing serious and just that durn "licker tung" thing.

Hurry up 8:00 am, we need to get K'Cee to the white coats to make sure she's going to be ok.

Zippy, I'm sorry, but I don't have any suggestions as to what this could possibly be. Hopefully just from excessive licking, but then you would need to find out why the excessive licking. Did she actually have the stitches taken out or were they the dissolving type? Either way, it might just be a bit of stitch is still in there and hasn't dissolved or they missed it when they were taking them out and it's now become infected. Hopefully it's just something minor like that.

Give that precious little girl a hug for me, and try and get some sleep and not worry too much. 8:00 am can't get here fast enough, but it will be here before you know it.

[Randi]

Here's hoping it's only an irritation from the sticthes! It sounds a lot like it. Get a good nights sleep and hopefully the vet visit will calm you down! :)

Fingers and paws crossed here. ;)

[Cataholic]

OHHHHHH......I don't think I could handle any more bad news...


PLEASE LET IT BE A SIMPLE INFECTION!! Everything crossed here...hurry up 8 am!!

[jenluckenbach]

isn't it 8 a.m. YET??!!???

this will be a long night. Here's hoping for the simplest explaination possible for what might be wrong.

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

T&P'S mom,

if they did a tubal ligation, they tie the tubes off. some dissolving
sutures do not dissolve, or take longer to go. the body rejects the 'foreign body', forcing it thru the skin. rejected sutures turn the skin purple as the material comes out.

(in a tubal crush and fulguration they separate the tubes
thru cautery-burn them to separate the tube) just a few stitches to close the incision site.

sounds like your right in the money! hope that's all it is.


btw, i have this bump on my head....;)

No, they were the dissolving type. And after they dissolved, she was left with a lump. From what I can feel/see (she won't let me touch anywhere around there) the lump has pretty much disappeared.

Could it be a hernia? What do those look like, Nurse Sandra?

The purpley-blue-red color has faded into a deep infectious looking pink. She's sore!! She's walking a bit funny & you can't pick her up w/out her 'yelping'. We've doctored it with Neosporin but still... I SOOOOO wish there was something else I could do for her.

I have to pause and say it's wonderful to have an animal loving boss--allowing me to be late for work tomorrow! K'Cee will be a "drop-off" -- otherwise the vet couldn't see her for a wk or two! :eek:

I'll let you guys know what I find out, when I find out...ASAP!

[Steffi N]

I hope this is nothing more than a simple infection and that darling K'Cee will be prancing again soon. :(

[boscibo]

Hanna had the kind of stitches that need to be taken out. She got spayed on a Wed., and on Sunday she had a big lump by the stitches! I freaked out, and called the emergency vet. They asked me a few questions, and as long as she was eating and pooping they said it could wait until Monday. Monday morning I took her in, and just by feeling the lump they reassured me it was an inflammation - not a hernia as I had thought.

Good luck, it sounds like an infection. They will probably make her wear a cone

[krazyaboutkatz]

Oh no!!! Not another sick kitty!!:( :( Prayers are on the way for both you,Tonya, and K'Cee. I sure hope it's nothing serious. I don't think that I can handle any more bad news. :(

[marysmerrycats]

oh I hope it is nothing too serious. I will be waiting to hear an update.. poor kitty!

K Cee , PLEEZ , get better!! PT cannot miss anymore sweeties right now !!!

[tatsxxx11]

Hmmmm, doesn't really sound like a hernia, Zip. She could have an isolated area of edema (swelling) around the incision area if it's irritated and especially if it's infected. The licking seems to be a good indicator of something irritating or draining...have you seen any oozing? Of course you've already been to the vet's so my guesses are not of any relevance right now. THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT SHE'S OK!! We're waiting anxiously, Tonya. Prayers continue for sweet little K'Cee girl. I'm on pins and needles...:confused: PLEASE be ok....

[gini]

Tonya, when I had both of the "girls" spayed, each one had removable stitches, but they also had large "lumps."

I was concerned and the vet said it was normal and the lump would go away. Now you cannot see anything - except the area where they shaved......and the fur is growing back.

I sure hope K'Cee is alright. She shouldn't be in pain!

I will be anxious to hear.

[lynnestankard]

Any news yet Tonya?
Only just read this thread and I'm hoping and praying it's a 'simple' infection - although thats bad enough.
Fingers crossed and {{{Hugs}}} coming atcha Zippy!
Big nose kissies from me and the three musketeers for K'Cee xxxxxx

It's not letting me post on my own thread!

I've tried to reply and it's telling me that I (a) have an invalid PT link or (b) I'm replying to an unspecified thread.

Can you do me a huge favor and let the others know that K'Cee is mad as all get out(!) but fine. She has a pretty nasty abcess (it was worse this morning) -- probably from a stitch that didn't dissolve. She's on antibiotics for a couple of wks. and if that doesn't take care of it--we'll haul her cranky butt back in!!

(Edwina would be sooo proud! You shoulda seen the claw marks in the vet tech's hands after stickin' that ther-mommy-ter up K'Cee's rear! *Note to self* order more soft-paws!)


Wheeeeew!

Now That'z GUD NEWZ!!!

Hey Zipp ~
