UPdate on Ellie-mae...

[kuhio98]

...I have news and it is GOOD NEWS, vet just rang me all went well, he took the third gland as there were some tiny seeds, but this is the AMAZING news, he did not think it was cancerous, and that had we left it could have easily turned in to cancer, i can hardly believe it, i had accepted i was just going to loose my baby and probably soon,now she is going to be ok, and i am so glad i went ahead with the operation, it was worth all the worry and sleepless nights, we still have the recovery process to go through, so fingers and all paws crossed and keep those prayers a coming please, that all will go well...

Ellie-Mae is defininitely a survivor. I think her fighting spirit makes all the difference -- and of course her wonderful Meowmie who has changed her life for the better.

yahoo just got a call from the vet I CAN PICK HER UP, said she is much better, and mouth is looking better already,not eating that well, but taking a syringe well, i am excited my baby is coming home, i had better go and get ready and get out there and get her.

Yes she has antibiotics on board candance, don't worry my vet is really on to it, won't let her suffer in any way.

she is doing so well, my what a brave kitty she is, she ran upstairs and is choosing to sit in a corner, but she is letting me pat her and smooching my hand when i do,animals just amaze me so much , they are so forgiving, she has drunk a good quantity of water and also eaten quite welll, i am so happy, i have these pic of her, she was not a bit interested in posing for the camera though, i have put her litter box in that corner now as well as the water so if she decides to stay there she can.

Got to go back on friday to get the pain patch off, oh my she is going to be loving that NOT.,poor wee thing she will be so stressed again,as will i be.

Anyhow here is my baby, looking a bit rough and worse for wear, but doing oh so well, she is a little belter my Ellie, she makes me so proud.,a real little fighter.

yes Donna i did make the right decision, i feel at peace now knowing i did, it hurts seeing her go through all of this, but i know it is for the best and she may now have much longer to be with us, she is OH SO WORTH IT. love her to bits.

[phesina]

Oh, Ellie, aren't you beautiful and doing just so well! A girl has to clean herself up some after an ordeal like that, doesn't she!

Keep on keeping on, and heal up nicely and recover well. Your Meowmie loves you so very, very much, and you have a wonderful doctor who cares about you so much too!

[carole]

Thanks Pat, she is having a lovely snooze right now,boy that patch sure makes her calm,and she sure needs that, mostly a very highly stressed lil girl most of the time, so quiet time is good for her right now.

[Medusa]

I wouldn't expect anything less from a calico girl. She's a survivor, Carole, that's for sure. Great news!

[Catty1]

Awww, so sweet to see her bathing herself and making sure she is nice and pretty! I don't think she could be any prettier.

Once that patch is off and she is home, you will enjoy watching her recover totally. And she already ate well? WONDERFUL!


Give her a kiss for me.

[katladyd]

Get well soon, pretty Ellie. WE LOVE YOU!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm glad to see and hear that she's now home and doing well. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way for a speedy recovery.

candace she is home, actually i am more worried when the patch comes off ,it is what is keeping her happy ,however vet says that is all she will need, i hope so, gosh the cut is pretty darn big. i reckon about 6 to 8 inches long, poor baby, she is sound alseep on our bed now, and stretched right out, you can see her cut so well, i was going to take a pic , but the battery is dead,she did not eat much tonight, but i think all in all she has done ok really considering all she has been through.

Vet wants her only on one steroid a day at the moment,so from 4 that is a big decrease, when i pilled her i could feel her mouth was swollen,this has been a really big ordeal for her, i hope she continues to make a good recovery.

We have put her through major surgery, but i do think it was the right choice now,and ellie will hopefully have a much better quality of life, she is such a sweetie, with that real fiesty nature mixed in, that is what makes her so special, she has been through tough times before i adopted her and now i just want her life to be as good as it can possibly be.

Ellie did exceptionally well yesterday on her return for the vets,however today is not so good, she is hardly eating at all,just has a small amount at breakfast and nothing since, not keen on drinking either, she did do a big pee though, but i am worried about her, she is sleeping lots, slept all night on our bed, and stayed there until lunch time apart from getting up to eat a little when i brought it up to her.
She ventured down the stairs, had a look at the door as if to say well let me out then, walked around a bit, sat down then went upstairs and is sound asleep on the floor not too far away from the computer.

off to see vet at 3.15 for patch removal tomorrow, so will have her checked then, all going well,just have to get her eating more.

She still a bit spaced out, but so quiet and gentle, and she gives me some rubs now and then,please continue to send healing wishes and prayers and thoughts for my baby, just want to get her through all of this and get her well and happy again.
LATER TODAY:
I just cannot get her to eat anything bar the little amount this morning, she looks so unhappy and miserable, i feel so upset, what have I done to her,I am not feeling so good about my decisions right at the moment, i cannot put stuff in her sore mouth that would hurt to much, thank god we are going to see the vet tomorrow as i am worried sick.

[Catty1]

Prayers for dear Ellie-Mae. I suspect she will perk up once the patch is off, and her appetite too. She has been through a lot, as you say, you are very right about that.

Your vet sounds wonderful, and I am sure he will do everything possible to help Ellie-Mae and you.
