Pouncer in for Surgery :((Update post #52)

[jenluckenbach]

Did they mention to use a litter like Yesterday's News?? I am sure they told me to use that because it would not stick to the inscision site.

$930 *faint* (but worth every penny)

Yes, Pouncer = Priceless.

So glad he is doing well and will be home with mom and his buddies! Hang in there lil guy, it will be better soon!

Expensive boy, huh? Glad he's coming home and doing well! Give him some gentle kisses and pets from me too!

HE'S HOME!!!

YES, MY SWEET BOY IS HOME! Oh I can't tell you how happy I was to see him. I rushed upstairs as soon as I came home and hurt hubby's feelings because he wanted to talk to me.... sorry honey, Pouncer comes first!

Here's what I found when I opened the bedroom door: I saw a beautiful brown tabby talking to me in a meow I didn't recognize. Poor boy's throat has to feel raw from the anesthesia tubing

Next I noticed a brown tabby without an e-collar. Hmmm.... meowmie forgot her boy was Houdini regarding collars of any sort. Any ideas how we can keep the e-collar on so he keeps his sutures clean and in tact?

He didn't know what to do -- eat or give me lots of headbumpies. I could tell he was saying "Thank you thank you thank you" as he headbumped and purred and begged for chin scritchies. He was incredibly active considering the ordeal he just went through - I myself would be in bed for a week moaning and groaning. He was jumping up to reach my hand, running back and forth from me to his food, meowming his head off, and simply looking wonderful.

His "nether region" looks awfully sore and swollen. He's on a mighty dose of Clavimox and Low Ph Eukanuba food (which he LOVES). He'll be locked in my daughter's room for the next 2 weeks.... I don't know how long it'll take for him to decide to escape. He'll escape once he decides too

He's definitely worth every penny (and thats a lot of pennies! )

I'm so glad to hear that Pouncer is doing well. Fingers, paws and whiskers crossed that he "heals up and hairs over" (as my grandma used to say) very quickly.

{{{{hugs}}}} to Pouncer. I hope he heals soon!

I understand about all your post-dated cheques....but no more weekend emergencies (God willing) for Pouncer and you.

Pouncer, nawtee boy - keep your collar on!

I spent some time with him tonight. All he wants is love. My daughter said she kept her awake all night last night with headbumps

He's NAWTEE. Any bets on how long he'll stay in the room alone? He's supposed to be quiet and rest. I was told he wouldn't want to do much anyway. hmmm.... he's jumping up and down from the top bunk bed. He's running around the room. He's doing contortions to get the e-collar off. I called the vet for advice and she laughed and said "why am I not surprised?" and told me he lives up to his name.

I have an appointment for next Tuesday to get the stitches removed.... will we make it? He's already running around like nothing happened and he's not even on pain meds. Its gonna be a long week for both of us.

Very glad to hear that our Pouncer is doing so well! I'm not sure how you are going to keep that boy imprisoned for so long though!

Pouncer feels good!
