Sounds like he didn't do the inside stitching as good as he should have, it should be a easy fix for her though. Let us know what he says...

Well I was able to get Athena in to see the vet as soon as I arrived at the vets and the vet (remember this is not the vet that did the surgery) said that she has a Hernia.

So I have her scheduled at the end of July to have surgery on it.

I just have to keep an eye on her belly and make sure nothing starts to come out or anything. She said that she can feel a small hole not very big.

She said that it happens sometimes when a cat is active after surgery and so she said she'll need to recut Athena open cleaned out all the scar tissue and sew her back up again.

The price of this is going to be $150 and todays visit was $44. plus she needed meds for her poop because it hasn't been very solid lately.

Well more things are going to be listed up on my ebay for this surgery cost and vet bill that just occurred today. Anyone interested in cat books?

I'm so sorry to hear about Athena. I hope that her surgery will go well and that her diarrhea issues can be resolved too. She may be allergic to grains or have IBD. This is what my Starr has so he's been on a grain free diet as well as some herbal supplements and he's doing so much better now. Good luck.

Poor little sweetheart! Many prayers are being prayed for Athena. Could I ask you to give her some snuggles and lovies from me?

[Anikaca77]

I will give her some gentle snuggles!

Oh the poor sweet thing!

Well it's official Athena hates the meds. We have to wrap her in a towel to prevent her from moving so much so she doesn't tear her hernia more.

Poor girl just hates the stuff, it does smell bad.
