How very scary!! :eek: :( Poor Mouser. :(
Where on the tail was the injury? Will he have to lose all of the tail? Reebok had his tail shut in the door by a former friend and had to have the tip amputated. We can see the difference but a total stranger wouldn't be able to tell.
It must be maddening not knowing what caused it. :( :(
Gosh if only our cats could talk, what an awful ordeal for you to go through, Mouser will be fine though, at least you did not get the tail caught as i did with my lil Lexie, one thing about a short tail , it distinguishes them from any other cat, I remember taking lexie for her check up the vet commented what a cute little tail, I guess she thought she was born with it, unfortunately I said no it was courtesy of me and your other vet that one.
Here's hoping Mouser's surgery goes well and he will make a good recovery.,better get the collar ready, they just love to pick at those stitches, nawtee kitties.
Mouser is doing fine after his minor surgery. They had to remove 2 inches from the tail. He is in a cone since he was pulling at his badges. We will have to seclude him, probably in the spare bath, until his stitches get removed in 10 days. I will post pictures sometime this evening of the little bugger.
Wonderful news!
Well....wonderful about him doing well, not so wonderful that you'll have to seclude him. Hmmm....let see how much damage one cat can do to a bathroom in 10 days. ;)
So happy to hear that the surgery went well. Heal up soon Mouser!
Glad to hear all went well, yes they just love pulling at those stitches and hate those cones, he will have about the same length tail as my lexie by the sound of things, just a cuter shorter version, no tapered end,but he will be just fine in no time at all, HUGS to you and scritches to Mouser.
He's home and having fit being in the bathroom. He's howling and scratching on the door. I don't know if I can take this for 10 days! He sure was happy to see me though.
Poor Mouser does he really have to be away from every one. Bad enough a cone but mom really.

Hope he heals quickly.
The others could easily rip out his stitches from playing & the like.Quote:

I'm glad to hear that our little guy is ok and back home. Tell him I said to be careful next time and watch out for those "mouser traps"! ;)
OMG! I can't believe I missed this earlier! Poor baby! There's no telling what he got into. It does make you wonder though!
Well, take it from me . . . Brodie is my stubby tailed baby . . . he was just a baby when he had trauma to his tail and he is still the most skittish little kitty I've ever seen. But he's a sweet as he can be. It will just make you feel MORE sorry for him and give him even MORE attention. ;)
Poor kitty, here's hoping for a speedier recovery and he can be out in less than 10 days. At least he came through the surgery fine - kudos to meowmie for getting him to the vet asap !!

Yes, the vets main concern were all the other cats. Remember we have 24! :eek: OK, I broke down and let him out while I can supervise. I figure when we go to work we'll seclude him and at night when we're sleeping. He's been very calm and the others have actually left him alone. I'll have some pictures here real soon.
You should be happy that you go to work for the day!! If I know Mouser, he should heal in less than 10 days. I'm sure he will be back to the same old Mouser that we have come to know & love.Quote:

2 inches! :eek:
Wow! That must have been a heck of an injury. Glad he's out of surgery and on his way to recovery.
Lisa, I'm glad to hear that Mouser's surgery went well and that he's now home. Please get well soon Mouser and I hope you make a speedy and full recovery. :)
I think the injury was that far up, plus bone was exposed. :(Quote:

Glad you let him out of the bathroom - with you around it should be OK. :) It sounds promising that the others left him alone, hope it will continue that way.
Heal well, Mouser!
Glad to hear that surgery went well and Mouser is home and healing. It sure is a "conundrum" as to what actually happened!
Here's to a speedy recovery.... and staying out of trouble little cutie Mouser! Your meowmie cannot take this again! (Neither can you Mouser!)
:eek: How scary!!
I hope Mouser's recovery goes smoothly :)
The Scariest Thing Happened When Scratchy , Michael And Another Porchie Fred Went Into A Neighbors Yard And Killed The Easter Bunny That He Was Going To Give His Daughter.
Michael Was A Young Tag Along , But Being A Barn Cat He Snuck Away When The Man Chased The Older Strays Off.
I Have A Feel He Would Have Killed Any Of Those Cats Had He Caught One Of Them.
That Was The End Of Outdoor Michael!!
OMG!! :eek:
I just talked to you on the phone and you didn't mention this, then as I kept reading this all started to sound very familiar.........looked at the orginal date of the thread..........:rolleyes:
WHEW!!!!!!
Ok, my heart is beating normal, again............:p

I did see her other thread, but since I had NO reply to it and I DO have a reply to this one that means I can't reply to this one???!!!!!
Jeez............
:(:( Poor Mouser!! Trace the trail. I'm sure eventually you'll figure it out. I'm curious, so please keep us posted!!
Heal well baby.
Catsnclay....LOLOL! Yeah, I know...but a couple of folks seem to think that Mouser just NOW lost his tail!
SURE - post anywhere you want! Like I even have to tell you! :D
Heck, I went back through some threads and found out what happened to Mouser's tail. I am sure it has grown all its fur back and is looking gorgeous! :)
Not sure where I'm supposed to post so this will have to do. I'm sure glad Mouser is ok. That was an awful sight to come home to and have your poor li'l guy jump up for you to help him. If it's any consolation, my first "official" rescue, Peeka, had to have her entire tail removed; she had only a slight stub but she did great and lived for 14 years. No balance problems, nothing. Mouser will do wonderfully w/all your love and good vet care.
