Chris, all my best thoughts are with you and dear Ebby:(
I am so sorry- there are so many bad news at PT at the moment.
Oh Chris you must be so worried! Ebby is in our thoughts and prayers. Please let us know how it goes s soon as you can.
Sending prayers and good wishes for a speedy recovery for your Ebbs
Ebbs, get well soon! We love you!!!!
Thank you. All your prayers, good thoughts and wishes are working so far. The vet just called and I am SO pleased to tell you that the surgery went fine and she is just waking up. :) All being well I will be picking her up around 4.30pm (UK time). :)
She has had around 4 inches of tail removed and, of course, will have to wear a cone until at least a week Friday when the stitches will be removed.
Thanks again. :)
Poor Ebby! Sending healing purrayers that your tail's on the mend fast. ;)
Lots of healing vibes being sent beautiful Ebby's way!! I hope that when she comes out she will leave that tail alone!!
The girls send headbumpies to their friend Ebby!
Oh, Chris, I must apologize for not doing a better job at keeping up with Ebby. :o I am delighted to know that her surgery went well. Keep us posted, and we will definitely be remembering Ebby (and you) in our many, many Pet Talk prayers.

Good Luck Ebbie! Please let this heal your poor little tail!
Oh my. That was fast. It sounds as though it was meant to be....that she needed to rid herself and you of that nasty itch....and infection. Aren't cats something?
Keep us posted Chris. Surely hope you get a good night's sleep soon.
Sas and her brats!
And AGiant Found Cat Prayer,for thier Pal Ebby,that she can soon hold her tail ,High!
Oh no! I know you were hoping to avoid this, but I guess it's all over and done with now, before I even got a chance to see and send prayers for sweet Ebby.
I'm so glad to hear everything went well and she's on her way to recovery. Hopefully this will solve the problem for good so she can be rid of that durn cone already. ;)
Poor Ebby! Hopefully that nasty spot on her tail was in the part that was removed.
I'm glad to hear that all went well for Ebby. I hope her recovery goes well too.
Thinking of you and Ebby!!
Oh poor Ebby - what a rotten thing for you.
I hope by now (4.57pm) you're Meowmie has called for you and your back home - safe and sound - and gently recovering.
Keeping you in my thoughts and purrs
Love Bagel xxxxx
PS. AND Ketchum and Dan xxxx
Oh poor Ebby.
I'm glad you got through the surgery fine and will be going home soon.
Prayers for a quick recovery for you sweetie.
Poor Ebby! Hope she feels better real soon!! (Connor says that she is now part of the very exclusive tail-less cats club, to which only VERY special cats belong ;)
(((HUGS)))
Get well quick, Ebby girl! Cricket says to tell you that tails are just a nuisance anyway. ;)
Thoughts to you sweet Ebby! I hope BOB cn be a good nurse to you!!!
Oh, Ebby, please have a speedy recovery. Tiny little pets for you at this delicate time. I will save the real scritchies til your strength is up.;)
Poor Ebby, that's just awful, I'm so sorry! :(
But it sounds like good news that you're doing well after the surgery. A speedy recovery to you!!

Whew. Little tender huggies accompany these healthy vibes: ~~~
Purrs and headbumpies from Cassy and Livvy
Sure glad to hear all went well!
EBBY,
Best wishes from the Edster and dad.
We have followed your story and hope that you can get back to being well again and can ditch the satellite dish.
Prayers needed, prayers sent!
Hey, Ebbs!
We hope you have a speedy recovery! Drink plenty of Catnip Tea and get lots of Love.
I'm glad to hear that Ebby's surgery went well.
Prayers on the way that you have a speedy recovery and will be out of that nasty cone soon.
Get well soon Ebby!
Ebby, my dear, you should be just fine.
Many years ago my cat named Amanda managed to get a bad injury to the tip of her tail and we went through this WHOLE thing (I didn't mention it, because I didn't want to scare you) but she would NOT leave her tail alone and could get to it even with the E-collar. She had to be re-stitched 3 times before I said to just amputate it so she can't reach it! The left a 2 inch stump and she wore that darned E-collar for literaly MONTHS until I was certain she would not damage that tail again. She lived quite happily as little stumpy tail after that.
So now be good Ebby, no more problems for you.....OK??
Glad to hear Ebby made it through surgery successfully.
Hopefully she's home with you now, and is being spoiled and treated like the princess she is;)
Chris, I'm sorry to say I don't know exactly why Ebby had to have the surgery, but I am glad to hear that she is doing fine:D
Kisses for litte Ebby....
I hope she has a super quick recovery!!!!:)
Aw, thank you all so very much for your prayers, good wishes and concern. You all are the only ones who understand and it is so comforting, helps the aloneness that surrounds when things like this happen.
I am very tired so I won't go into the full story. Ebbs is home but it's still very stressful here. Despite what the vet said about measuring and being certain Ebbs couldn't reach the wound, she can despite now wearing a 12.5cm cone. She started at it as soon as I let her out of the carrier and I had to stay with her for a while, then go up and downstairs most of the evening to make sure she is ok. Not much sleep for me tonight I guess. :)
BTW, she really doesn't want to be downstairs, which in a way I'm glad about. Bob is really puzzled by the cone and wants to investigate and Ebby doesn't want him to. There could be all kinds of chaos if I left him loose and it seems most unfair to lock him in his crate as, just lately, he is locked in there all night because I need to keep Ebby and he separate while I'm sleeping.
Thanks again. :)
Chris
P.s. the attached picture was taken not long after I got home with her. (The two cones were a sort of emergency measure)
This picture was taken a little later.
Oh, poor girl--she's just glaring at that tail tip in the first picture. I don't know why it's so hard to get them to leave a tail injury alone. But if she just licks and doesn't bite, I would think it'll heal up OK.
Hoping that Ebby will Get Well Soon now.
I've been following her story from the beginning and just recently my MIL's calico, the one I posted pictures of after she was in a fight and had eye surgery, is doing the SAME thing to her tail.
Vet put Violet on Metacam and wrapped it real well, we will soon be reaching the 'docking' event, if she doesn't let it heal.
I can't believe the coincidence.
That second pic of Ebby OUCH! Poor girl but best wishes being sent your way.
poor beautiful Ebby!!!
I hope she is doing ok now!
Chris, I'm sorry that Ebby had to have part of her tail removed :( but I'm glad that the surgery went well.:) Now hopefully she'll be able to keep her e-collar on and let her tail heal. Please get well soon Ebby.:)
Poor little Ebby! Glad to hear shes on the mend. Hope she makes a speedy recovery.
