Andy update! UPDATE POST 36!!!!

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Thank you all so much for the nice comments and for caring about "our" boy!

Here are the pictures that I promised.

This is the night before the bandage removal and about 30 minutes after the pain meds kicked in! LOL







After bandage removal>





I promise I am not pinching him here!





At this angle, his ear looks really normal!


Hope you enjoyed seeing Andy again! Katie and Andy

Well, goodness! If the fur grows back, it will look like just a smaller ear.

It still makes a good airplane!

Is he still on pain meds? I guess he will be for a while. I hope his liver levels improve soon.

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Candace, yes, those airplane ears wont EVER be unworkable, unless of course he has the whole ear removed

No, his last day of pain meds were yesterday. Since his liver levels are still high, they dont want to continue any meds that arent absolutely needed. Poor guy, but he really does not seem in pain.

He is on ear ointment, for infection and to keep it moist and not itchy. He really hates that!

[Emeraldgreen]

He looks great! I didn't realize that he was going to be able to keep so much of his ear, that is awesome! The picture of him with the pain meds kicking in is priceless. He looks pretty loopy! lol The other cats are looking at him as if he is from another planet with that saturn ring around his neck.

[Taz_Zoee]

Wow, you can hardly tell they removed any of the ear. It looks great! Is that ME giving him the strangest looks in first two pix? LOL

Please give Andy some well deserved belly rubs from me.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Thanks for the update and pictures. He looks great and I'm so glad that he got to keep most of his ear too. I hope that it'll heal up quickly and you all can put this behind you. Get well soon Andy.

[Medusa]

It looks way better than I imagined. Looks like Andy came through it all just fine.

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Thanks everyone. Sorry I have been bad at updating!

Andy is being very "spunky" today! He is even jumping on his cat trees And ever since this horrible accident, I have never had such a velcro kitty! He is ALWAYS on top of me, behind me, or hanging from my legs Thats my boy!

And he does look cute with his one widdle ear, he thinks it makes him look "studly" I wonder what stories he is telling the other kitties about what happened to him



Auntie Mary, that is a room in my bedroom, called a "parents retreat", but since I am only "parent" to kitties and pups, I made it into an area for the kitties... And that is a kitty chaise lounger that I bought that matches my formal living room suite, just did not put it in there, since they hang out in the retreat area more *hope that made sense*

Anyways, thank you all again for the continued prayers and well wishes.

[phesina]

Awwwwwwww.... beautiful!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

WOW Michelle, after a while it won't be visible at all anymore!! What a great vet you have!
Give sweet Andy a gentle hug and a kissie on his nose from me

[jazzcat]

Aww, sweet little guy. I sure hope it's healed and nothing but a memory soon.

This is the night before the bandage removal and about 30 minutes after the pain meds kicked in!

Andy talking.........."Pain??? What pain??? I'm not in any pain. Hey Mom - can I have some more of that stuff you gave me about 30 minutes ago??? Please???"


Yup - he sure looks kinda loopy. Glad to see he kept most of is ear. I'm sure when it's healed you'll hardly notice the difference in size.

[momcat]

Hey there Andy! What great news to get on a cold and rainy day! I'm so happy to know that all went well and you're feeling so much better. Thank you for letting Meowmie get some pictures to share with all of us. You're as handsome as ever!

[mamaducky]

Andy looks FANTASTIC! Thanks for updating us with photos, as I've been sneaking off to my machine whenever I had a moment waiting to see how our boy Andy was doing.

We'll keep praying for his continued speedy recovery -- love & snuggles to all your crew!
