Mr. Magoo Update...

[catnapper]

I'm sorry to hear that your wrist is worse... please make everyone here at PT happy and go to the hospital!
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} to you and Mr. Magoo.

I agree with Kirsten that it makes sense that noise calms him. I'd be freeked out too if I couldn't see and heard nothing to keep me aware of my environment, especially a new environment.

PS: Good luck with the party tonight and BREATHE deeply.

I've been reading all of this thread and I'm so sorry Mr. Magoo bit you. From what everyone is saying, and I have no experience with blind cats, it does sound like a sensory overload thing.

Lisa, please DO get thee to the hospital ASAP! The wrist swelling more is NOT a good sign. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Mr. Magoo needs you around to care for him! An infection can be very serious. I know it will probably muck up you hubby's B'day party plans, but it sounds like that wrist needs looking at by a real MD.

Happy B'Day to hubby too!

Hallelujah!!!(Dang, but that is one *STUBBORN* woman!! I even called her at home to pester her!!!) Whew!!!

[Lacey]

Yipe! Sending oodles of prayers your way!

[Twink]

Oh no! I just saw this thread. I'll add my (((hugs))) and support.

Thank HEAVENS you're headed to the hospital! Please check back in with us as soon as you can. We'll be worrying!

I hope and pray things go more smoothly with Paddy Bear when you get back. I feel bad for him, b/c it must be so hard to adjust to new environments when you don't have all of your senses working for you. But I feel worse for you, both for the pain of the injury, and the discouragement. Hang in there!

Look at it this way, it will be a very memorable birthday for your husband! Next year, you WILL smile at this...and peace will reign in your home. Good luck at the BIG white coats. Do not, I repeat, do not, look at the needle. OWIE.

Cat bites no matter how minor can lead to serious infections! Glad you're taking care of it now before you lose total control of your arm. I got bitten badly years ago from a feral who had escaped into the back room at a shelter I used to help out at. I went in to get her conatined in a cage again, had a sheet over her, but the angle was awful for getting her wrapped up. I suffered a nice deep bite right through the meaty part at the base of my thumb and palm! I was out of commission for well over a week, but did get it treated right away. Including a tetanus shot. Blood poisoning from cat bites is not anything to mess with, and the red line going up your arm is indicative of it. So glad you're getting treatment! Hang in there.

Next year, you WILL smile at this...and peace will reign in your home.

From Cataholic's lips to God's ears. Many prayers and good thoughts headed your way.

[catnapper]

PT Prayers from me, Allen & Pouncer on the way! I hope everything will be ok.

Once again:

Awaiting a health update with fingers crossed...I hope the hospital visit went as quickly and as well as can be expected.

OH My Gosh, Lisa!!! I am so worried about you! Please check in with us as soon as you can!!!

[catmandu]

I would have atht wrist checked , and Paddy neutered , if he isnt already. and it is a shock , to him , and he might have panicked from the encounter with Leroy. My Mother took five stitches , one day , when she tried to seperate Missy , from Cl;arence the Neighbors Cat. I am sure that Scrappy Mc Goo didnt mean it , and is very , very SORRY!

[trayi52]

Lisa, please update us as soon as you find out anything! Prayers and good thoughts coming your way from me and my whole gang.

I am so sorry that you are having so much trouble with that bite. I was lucky enough when I got bitten, that it did not turn into a bad infection. I pray that everything will be okay for you.
