Prayers for my Yodie, please; She has MRSA; *Update* 1/5; good/bad news; #269

[smokey the elder]

Poor Yodie! Feel better, sweetie.

[Medusa]

She's home but she gave me the Puddy glare through the carrier in the car. She was thirsty and drank a ton of water as soon as she got in the door. She hasn't eaten as of yet but I just took her collar off, so maybe she will now. The vet tech said I could take it off as long as I'm home to watch that she doesn't scratch the sutures.

The polyp was 3/4 of an inch and looked like a pink piece of cauliflower. It punctured her ear drum and she had pus bags on her soft palate. She has pain meds to be administered twice a day plus she's on a stronger antibiotic and ear drops for the MRSA. Sorry, I'm brain dead right now; I'll post the names of the meds later for you all for future reference in case you ever need them for your cats. Hopefully, you won't, though.

I misunderstood Dr. Lee; I thought he was going to remove part of her ear. He didn't do that but cut through the ear canal because of where the polyp was located. Fortunately we caught this one early but if another one grows, it's difficult to know until she shows symptoms.

Anyhow, she's home and I must make some dinner. I've made it on a piece of toast all day and my head is throbbing. Please continue your prayers for my little Yodie Yodie that she gets a good night's sleep and heals quickly.

ETA...Meowmie, take care of yourself, please............

Poor baby. She really does look like she feels miserable. Hopefully she'll get feeling better soon, now that she is home with Mom and the rest of the fur posse.
No more polyps Ms. Yodie, and that's an order!!!

Gentle {{{hugs}}} to Yodie and her Meowmie.

God forbid she ever needs surgery again - IF she ever does, prayers that there will be a new way to do it.

I wonder...if Transfer Factor can prevent cancer from recurring in animals and hoomins, I wonder if it would work for polyps of this type?

Hope dear Yodie heals quickly and this nasty has disappeared for good!

Feel better, sweet Yodie.

[3Catcondo]

Poor Yodie That does look uncomfortable. Sending good thoughts your way for a speedy recovery.

[Pinot's Mom]

Poor, sweet baby! Feel better, honey!

[Medusa]

She slept w/me last night, everyone else slept downstairs except Pidge but even she eventually went downstairs. She kept growling at Yodie and I was nervous that they'd scrap. Pidge has never done that before so Yodie must still smell like the vet's office. Coco Puff just would not stop sniffing her sutures and Yodie was really getting mad so downstairs w/the rest of the Fur Posse he went!

Yodie gets so depressed when she wears the collar. She can't walk w/it, she walks backwards, probably because she's trying to get it off her head. She won't even eat w/it on, only drink water and she hides under my bed or in the basement. It was off all night but she was w/me in bed so it was ok. I have tickets to see Wicked in Cleveland today so she'll have to wear the collar while I'm gone. She's not going to be happy. All in all she's doing ok, though. We'll see how she carries on when I give her meds this morning. Yesterday she was fairly calm but she's back to her old self now.

[Queen of Poop]

Oh Yodie, you look so sad and unhappy in that hat. I'm sorry you have to wear it, but you will get better much faster if you keep it on and let your ear heal up. Be well sweetheart, we all love you.

[Laura's Babies]

That poor baby! I feel so sorry for her and what she is going through. She looks totally miserable.... POOR BABY!

What breaks your heart is you don't know if they understand what is going on or not. You just hope they understand that you are trying to help them and hopefully, in the end they will be healthy and well. Give Yodie a soft gentle kiss for me.

Have you thought about a different type of collar?

How Yodie feels better soon!
