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

[kittykatharine]

The latest pics of her hole looked a lot better, I thought. It didn't seemed as red or as swollen as in the previous pictures - so that is pretty positive. Hopefully the eye thing is something simple and she will only need some antibiotic eye drops (like Catty1 said). I bet everyone at teh vet knows you on a first name basis , since it has become a second home to you. I am hoping that the hole will continue to improve and her eyes will get better as well. Positive thoughts and prayers coming your guys way!

Conjunctivitis. Don't ask me how. He said viral and that it could possibly have come from the wound. It is in both eyes, but the one that has it worse is the eye on the other side of her head. Good news was that the hole has healed well and doesn't need more ointment. Now I get to put eye drops in both eyes 3 times a day. And since I can't help myself, here are more cell phone pictures.

Sorry it is blurry.


This is what the eye lid looks like when you open it up.


Another hole picture from today.

WOW. That head wound looks almost GONE!

I hope the eyedrops help - and that Aroara runs out of ailments for a good long time!

Goodness gracious, Ms. Aroara! I hope this is the last illness or injury for a long time!! You and your meowmy need a break!

I'm sorry to hear that both of her eyes are now infected. Hopefully they'll clear up quickly. At least her hole is healing up well. When it rains it pours.

It was 2 weeks ago today that she had the lump cut out. It has healed very well and looks like a small flesh wound now instead of a hole. The fur is growing back in so it is hard to get a picture of it. Her eyes are doing well. I stopped putting drops in the eye that wasn't as bad yesterday. The eye that was the most swollen is looking very nice today. I didn't see any pink or swelling in it this morning. My mom had said that when she had pink eye, the doctor told her to put drops in one day after the pink had gone away. The vet only told me to do it until it cleared up. Since it isn't running anymore either, I think I will stop putting the drops in tomorrow. I'm going to try to keep her inside until Monday. It is getting harder and harder. But she is doing very well. Thanks for asking.

Glad she is healing up.

I'm so glad that she is finally on the mend! She has been through so much and it looks like it's all healing up now. I bet Monday can't come soon enough for Miss Aroara!
I'm picturing her standing on her porch on Monday and giving a big ROAR to all who can hear to say "I'm back!!" lol

[kittykatharine]

YEA for Ms. Aroara! That is so wonderful that she is healing up nicely - both the eyes and her wound. Aroara is one strong little girl and despite this whole thing has kept strong. You did such a wonderful job taking care of her, and I am sure she is grateful for it. Great job Moesha!!!!

I'm so glad to hear that she's doing well and I hope that she'll continue to be a happy and healthy cat.

I'm almost scared to type this, but I think that the month or more of illness for Aroara is finally over. She went outside this morning. Of course I'm not home, because I'm dogsitting for the elderly poodle again. But my mom said her hole looked to be completely healed on Sunday. She went to let her out this morning and Aroara looked at her as if to say, What are you doing to me? LOL Crazy girl. I miss snuggling with my kitties! Thanks for all the support you've given me in dealing with the craziness that we've gone through lately.

[Medusa]

Heave a big sigh of relief and say 'thank you' to the Universe. So glad that Aroara is doing better now but then you take such good care of her, so why shouldn't she? Good news!

[Moesha]

I went home this morning for a few minutes and got another picture of Aroara's head. LOL I had to pull the hair away inorder to be able to see the little scab. I can't believe that the huge hole filled in and healed like it did. I also can't wait to get to go back and stay there tomorrow night. I miss kitties!

[jenluckenbach]

She looks fabulous~~

[krazyaboutkatz]

Wow! You can hardly see it now. She looks great. Now I hope that she'll continue to remain a very happy and healthy cat.
