Prayers for Pepper

Pepper is currently undergoing surgery on her tail.

At about 6:00 p.m. she came running up to me in the garage and most of her tail is gone! :eek: Just a bloody stump was left. We rushed her to the vet and they need to remove more bone so that there is enough skin left to sew together and cover the stump.

Please pray that Pepper survives the surgery. The vet is very aware of her heart condition and will be very careful on the amount of anesthesia they give her, but things can still happen.............

The vet believes that it was severed -- not torn off like from a dog or something. We are looking all over the garage and house for her tail, but haven't found it yet.

<gasp> :(

Poor Pepper.:( I'm so sorry to hear this.:( Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please continue to keep us updated about her.

I remember when K & L's cat Mouser lost part of his tail and they didn't know how it happened. They later found out that their paper cutter got him. Do you have a paper cutter or saws that would be out in the garage?

We don't have a paper cutter. We do have saws and a shredder, though. We checked them and found nothing. We will check more closely tomorrow.

The vet called. Pepper has made it through surgery. They are monitoring her to see how she wakes up. Her heart has not stopped, so that is a good sign. We will call them again in a few hours.

Keeping good thoughts & prayers for Peppers speedy recovery.

Poor Pepper! :( I am glad surgery went well.

What a shock for you ... not to mention for poor Pepper of course.

I'm happy that she made it through surgery. Sending her all my healing vibes today. :)

Oh my! Poor Pepper. Sending prayers that she recovers quickly. Once healed, I'm sure she'll be fine.

Prayers heading north for Pepper.

Prayers for Pepper! I hope you find out what happened.

Glad she made it through surgery!

HUGS little one!

Oh my goodness. Many prayers for Pepper. I hope you can figure out what the heck happened to her. Poor baby.

Oh my, I am just seeing this thread! I am so sorry to hear of Pepper's accident. I am glad that she is out of surgery and doing well. Please keep us posted! Many prayers coming from me and the girls in Indiana.

Been so much going on with the dogs that I haven't had chance to pop over to the cat side :eek:

Poor little Pepper - so glad she's come through surgery. Where did you leave your tail little girl?

I'm so glad to hear that Pepper's surgery went well. I hope that she makes a speedy recovery. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

Lots of prayers for Pepper and family.

Pepper had a good night. She slept and ate and peed normally. We got the pain medicine and antibiotic down her this morning with minimum fuss.

She's mad (or embarrased) so she won't look at the camera, but I got a few photos this morning. Thanks for all your good wishes.

I am glad that Pepper has come home to recuperate. Poor little girl with the bandaged tail. Have you found out yet what might have happened?

Pepper, keep taking the medicine. It will help you feel better.

Oh sweetheart, I still think you are beautiful! :D
Keep getting stronger darling girl.

Poor Pepper. Prayers on the way for speedy healing.

You poor little girl. I'm so glad your surgery was a success and you're home again.

GET WELL SOON!!!!!!!

My very first "official" rescue was Peeka whose entire tail had to be amputated except for a very small stub. She came through it just fine and I know Pepper will be fine, too, sweet baby.

aww..don't be embarrassed - you are still beautiful as can be!

wow, never expected to find this - I'm sorry this happened to you! prayers for speedy healing here too. {({gentle stritches})} for you if you would allow me. :)

will be thinking of you, rest all you can.

Poor Pepper, I am glad she made it through the surgery okay, and is home and healing!

Poor Pepper!! What a horrible accident!! It must have been such a shock to see her coming home without a tail! But I'm glad she's made it through the surgery and is doing well.

Get well soon, Pepper!

I'm so glad that Pepper is now home and doing well.:) Have you figured out how this happened yet?

OMG... I just saw this now. How traumatic for Pepper and for you! I hope you can figure out what happened to the poor girl! Prayers on the way for Pepper.

How is Pepper doing?

Pepper is doing well. http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=127436
She is as feisty as ever. She has an amazing fighting spirit. Nothing gets her down for long.

She supervised us with yardwork yesterday. She was not happy about it, but she was tethered to a clothesline, safe in her Walking Jacket

We continue to search our garage and have not found the rest of her tail. I can't figure out how, but she must have gotten outside and had her unfortunate accident somewhere else. :confused:

OMG!! How traumatic! Thoughts and prayers going out to all of you :(
Get Well Pepper and be careful cutie pie.
