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

[Medusa]

She's undergoing another surgery right now. As soon as Dr. Lee removed the staples, the incision came open again clean down to the cartilage. He feels it's b/c of the MRSA that she just isn't healing. Her eye is still ulcerated, too, so he'll have to grid it again as he did before. I'll pick her up later this afternoon. I'd cry but I'm too exhausted. Takes too much energy. This has been the worst holiday ever.

Mary, I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope her surgery will go well and that this time she'll heal up quickly. You and your cats have been through so much. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. I hope that you and all of your cats will remain happy and healthy from here on out. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Mary-

My prays are coming for you and Yodie.

I know how stressful life can be believe me.

Take care,
melissa

Poor Yodie and poor you! I hope the incision heals properly this time around. I know too well the emotional (and financial) toll of having multiple pets getting sick all at once. My thoughts are with you and Yodie and Pidge and Boo and the rest of the posse.

Gentle hugs to you, Mary. And how horrid for little Yodie. Huge PT Prayers that Yodie will recover quickly and completely.

She's doing remarkably well, I must say. I was expecting her to be groggy and out of it so when we got home, I put her in my spare guest room where she has a litter box, food, water, etc. I went to check on Pidge and I heard all kinds of banging noises coming from the room Yodie was in so I went to investigate, concerned that she might have fallen. No. She was on my desk, going through all the gifts that I haven't yet wrapped. She apparently felt well enough to get into mischief so I brought her downstairs w/everybody and she flopped over on her back as though she wanted a belly rub. She never, and I mean never, does that. I rubbed her belly and she purred like a motor boat. I then fed everyone and she chowed down w/the rest of them.

So I guess she's tougher than I gave her credit for. It's her Mom that's the weakling, I guess. I thought I was a tough cookie but these last few weeks have worn me out. When Pidge got sick two days ago, I thought I would drop from exhaustion. W/work and trying to get holiday things done, cleaning the house and going to my own dr., which is also a long drive, it's just been hectic.

Pidge, on the other hand, is not doing as well as I'd like. She's wanted to stay under my bed ever since I brought her home from her last vet visit. She's hardly eating at all. I tried to get her to eat tonight and she turned away. I gave her some of her favorite treats and she didn't want them either. I'm just going to let her be. As long as she isn't suffering or vomiting, etc., I think that's the best course.

I'm beyond happy to hear your good news about Yodie! Asking for tummy rubs? She must be feeling better, would you rub that tummy for me? More than anything I hope this is the beginning of a positive trend. You most definitely deserve it!

Prayers are still being prayed for Pidgie and will continue
