Aroara's saga continues...update #77(with graphic picture)

Poor baby! How is she feeling (aside from trying to sneak out?)

I hope she heals up just fine with that abcess out...heavens, what if the vet hadn't operated?

Good Mommy! Spotting that nasty bit and taking her back in.

HUGS and I hope she is well soon!

She is still groggy from being knocked out. But she has helped herself to Morgan's food and has had some water. The first place she went was the litterbox. Poor baby. I didn't know that she'd headed that way and I heard some strange noises. I guess she was too groggy to get herself inside the litterbox. That was a couple of hours ago though. She's getting around pretty good right now. She has wanted to be in my lap. That's not a usual thing for her. The vet said that by tomorrow she should be back to normal. She was feeling fine before having the abcess removed. I don't know what would have happened. He seemed to indicate that the reason he went ahead and did it was that he wouldn't be around and the office would be closed for 3 days. I'm glad I saw that first puncture wound. I didn't know the second one was there until they shaved her head.

Poor Aroara. I'm glad that you caught this in time before the long holiday weekend. I sure hope that now she'll feel much better and heal up quickly. She'll remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Goodness, poor little girl! It really does look like a snake bite, either that or a vampire bit her. I'm sure she'll improve every day now and lucky that you caught it, especially before this long holiday weekend.

I can't believe what this poor little girl has been through!! You are such a good owner.... I could see how that could have been easily missed considering their hair can be so good at masking things like that....Do you have many snakes in your area....Poor baby? Is there any way she could have gotten into a fight with another animal?? Thank goodness the wound wasn't full of pus it could have taken your baby a much longer time to recover. Best wishes to your little girl and the hope recovery should be right around the corner!!!

Gentle hugs and kisses for you dear Aroara. I hope you are up to full complaining strength again, very soon.

Oh, Moesha, I have been gone the past few days and I have just read your ordeal with Aroara. You really have had one very very stressful week. I am so sorry that you have had to juggle so many things. I agree that those puncture wounds look like a snake bite. How scary for little miss Aroara. That is good to hear that she is acting more like herself, hopefully when you come back on Sunday afternoon, she will be 100%. It is always amazing to me how strong kitties are. They can put up with so much and still come through unscathed. It sounds like you are working with a great vet and I already know that you are a great pet mom, so Aroara is in the best hands she could ever be in. I am sure she will settle down while you are gone, and spend her time resting and healing. I am sending you lots of positive vibes!
