Precious is home and is not a Happy Camper

Gary, is there some wet food she really loves? You could grind up a pill and mix it into some really smelly, juicy, yummy treat food. I've done that on occasion with my cats, and we do it with some of the shelter cats.

Would one of your friends from the Animal Welfare help with changing the bandaging?

Good luck! And all best wishes to you and precious Precious that she will heal soon and be able to get rid of that lampshade around her neck!

poor sweet precious. You be good for pawpie and let him help you get all better. I know it is no fun being in that e-collar. And pills are pretty icky too but if you help pawpie help you it will be all better than new in a week.

I have no suggestions Gary. I think you already have gotten the best ones. Hopefully Precious won't give you too many problems with pilling and bandage changes. Good Luck

I HATE COLLARS!

The Collar was annoying her so much she took it off and chewed it so we cant fit it back on!!
So weve left it off, and hopefully she wont tear the bandages off.
The ear does look fairly good.
No COLLAR FOR THIS KITTY!
HHHHHIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

When Pink Nose had his ear operated on two years ago, he was supposed to wear an e-collar. It was too big so I took it off him. He didn't bother at his ear at all. I told him he had to be a good boy or the collar would have to go back on (at least one that fit better.)

OH GARY! Your little girl looks so miserable. Healing vibes being sent for you both. Sardines work very well for hiding pills in. Get the "brisling sardines" in oil. A small can goes a long way if you keep it covered with foil & refridgerate. I take a very tiny amont of sardine and squeeze out most of the oil with my fingers. Roll it around the pill to form a very tiny ball. Give Precious one little ball without the pill first, then if she gobbles that up give her the one with the pill in it next. If cats love sardines, this is a foolproof method that is cheap and tasty for them. Get well Precious.
