Ah Mitzi!

[Catty1]

Poor girl! That must have hurt. A good cleaning up at the vet and a few days on antibiotics, and hopefully she'll be good as new!

[KittyGurl]

Poor Mitzi! Get a good cleaning at the vets and behave yourself. When you come home, you will look beautiful than ever!

[AbbyMom]

Poor widdle thing. Hope she's better soon.

[cassiesmom]

Feel better soon, beautiful Mitzi!

Well she's home but not very happy. I need HELP! How the heck do you keep an E-collar on a kitty? She's not supposed to lick back there, and they said to use the E-collar when I can't watch her. The wiley Ms. Mitzi has it figured out and is out of it in minutes! I've never had to use one of these danged things. The "ties" they provided me with are flimsy gauze that are already falling apart; this is definitely not going to work. Also if I try to leave it on her all day when I'm gone, she won't be able to eat, drink or use the litter box! WTF? It's too hot here right now to let her get dehydrated just so she can't lick!

[Catty1]

Can you attach another kind of tie, such as bias binding? How long does she have to wear it?

I thought a cat was good and clean for cleaning herself - she wouldn't infect it, would she?

Unless the vet kind of had to make a bit of a mess to clean up the ulcer.

Poor Mitzi!

Maybe she won't bother the area...you never know!

Thanks, Catty - that's what I thought. She's not messy back there, it just looks sore and a bit swollen - poor thing.

The stuff they're having me use to clean her, Nolvasan, is the same stuff they gave me to use for Mishi's chin acne, so I know it's not toxic as I was using it near his mouth. I think I'm just giong to watch her carefully while I'm home, but I don't want to spook her when I'm not around to supervise. I think they gave me an E-collar that's just too big for her - she is a tiny, round thing. My little girlie princess! She's crashed out on the loveseat right now - it's HOT here. She looks absolutely exhausted and very cute
