Poor sweet Peggy. That does look painful, but happy to hear that it broke. It must relieve the pressure and pain some. Have a full and speedy recovery sweetie.

Does Peggy use a litter box at all Kirsten, as I would also be concerned about the litter getting into the opening. I know they have special litter for things like this, like for when a cat is declawed. Maybe your Mom could ask the vet and look into it and I PRAY that she will keep her inside until she is completely healed, so she doesn't get dirt in it or hurt it even more so.

Please give her a kiss on that pretty little head of her's.
