1st post-health problems with my cat

Poor baby. He sounds a bit miserable. But keep remembering......"this too, shall pass". Rutherford had the PU operation and the cone for what seemed like FOREVER! But it is long a distant memory now and well worth the bother.

Boi seems to be improving. He has been eating and drinking on his own. I have still been forcing him food and water at the end of the day. I see him eating levels that I'm happy with, but I don't mind him having "extra" calories and such right now, as he's really been sick. I've tried taking the cone off again, but he licks the area and he makes it bleed. The vet said if he just licks, it bleeds a little, but he doesn't pay a lot of attention to it, it's okay. He however is not doing that. He's paying a lot of attention to it. The sore was about the size of a pea, so it's the cone again until Friday. I'll try again at that point to see if it's bad enough to make it bleed. The vet said that it could have come off 2 weeks ago, so he's probably just healing slowly.

Glad he seems to be improving. I'd be cranky, too, in his shoes, once he's all healed, he should eventually forgive you the indignity of making him a conehead and be back to his old loving self. But you'll probably have to earn that!
