Just got home. Another long drive in a bitter cold and rainy day. Yodie was as good as gold, though. Dr. Lee said her ear looks great except for a small ulcer inside it, probably from rubbing up against furniture. Her sutures healed nicely, too. He said he could see her ear drum and there are no polyps as of now. Her eye also has an ulcer on it, same eye as before, and he thinks she scratched it w/her hind paw. So the collar has to go back on for a little while. Oh lordie. She's still on the MRSA meds for another few weeks until we can get another culture done to see if it cleared up. Plus he gave me some ointment for her eye and also for the spot that she rubbed raw. Maybe I should just have her head removed and get it over with.
I also talked to him about Creamsicle because she's just become mammoth from the Prednisolone! He gave me Medrol to see if we can wean her off the Pred and take some weight off her. She's so hungry all the time and even if she sees me w/the tube of Cat Lax in my hand, she goes nuts. I know how bad the hunger can get from being on Pred so I hope this works. If not, he said we can do the once a month Depo shot to see if that will work. I asked if I can administer it myself since it's subcutaneously administered and he said "Well, we're not supposed to do that because people sometimes inject themselves instead of their pets". I told him that he allowed me to inject Puddy when she was so sick. Besides, I could just as easily swallow the meds that he gives me for my cats, so that argument doesn't hold water. I think he'll trust me to do the right thing.
He also gave me more gel caps for Pidge so that she keeps her meds down w/no problem. She's doing aces so I thought I'd include that in Yodie's thread rather than try to find my thread about Pidge.
So there ya have it! So far so good. Now if we can just make it through the holidays. Of course, I have no money left now but WTH. LOL Thanx for all your prayers and good thoughts for my Yodie Yodie. I'll keep you updated as she continues to improve.
