Prayers for precious Chrissy from Chicago! :love:
I just got a call from my vet. They took Chrissy in as the first surgery of the day and everything is fine. It turns out there was a tiny little eye in the corner of the eye socket, but they managed to get it out. She is now resting at the vet's office and doing just fine.
The vet also suggested that I try and keep her calm tonight and even apply ice packs to the region. Any suggestions on how to keep a 6 month old kitten calm while applying ice packs :rolleyes:
Wow, sounds like a big surgery! Hope Chrissy's recovery will be calm, restful and healing. That's alot for a cat to go through, she is very brave and strong. :)
:love:Oh my I would be scared to bring her home so soon.. They dont think this wittle one should spend the night at the Vet's??Quote:

I won't be able to get her until almost 6PM, so she should be in pretty good shape by then. If there are any problems, I hope they will have surfaced before I get there.
But I am open to suggestions about how to apply an ice pack to a kitten????
Ask the vet how to apply an ice pack to a young kitty! :D
Unless they give her a pain patch that has a tad of sedative in it, I don't know how you would do it - unless you use a towel and create a 'kitten burrito'.
Ask how long the cold would have to be on her eye.
Glad all went well!:)
The vet suggested 10 minutes on and 30 minutes off for the ice pack. But realistically neither one of us thinks that is really going to be happening tonight!
Do you have a small ice pack? Maybe a tiny zip lock bag with some crushed ice cubes in it?
Yeah, she likely needs a night's rest!:)
I think I will be the one who needs a night's rest (and ALOT of bandages if I try the ice pack :D)
:love: Sorry I had to chuckle a bit..:p Hey its too bad your so far away.. I was thinking we could all show up & take turns on caring for the wittle one tonight.. Anyways Good Luck && keep Us Posted ok..Quote:

This way it would be more comfortable than an ice pack with cubes that could put too much pressure on her ouchies.
She is such a cutie. I'm glad all went well with the surgery.
Good luck on the ice pack. I imagine that will be difficult but using a soft gel type like pitc9 said would probably help.
It turns out that the ice pack issue was a moot point... we had a BIG thunderstorm (with a few tornados) yesterday afternoon and I had no power (still don't). So needless to say, I had no ice :D
