Keeping yodie in my prayers.

Mary, I sure hope that everything will go well tomorrow. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent to both of you.

Yodie dearest, quit playing on mommy's emotions and keep that awful collar on! You need it to heal, you're a sick little girl. Hugs for both of you.

Prayers for Yodie and you!

I hope the stitches come out without incident...and that Dr Lee might consider another style of collar. He's the expert.

I hope that Yodie is more comfy and healing soon!

Prays for Yodie today.

I know what you mean about the soft collars. I got one for our little man but he didn't seem very comfortable with it one and the plastic one at least we were able to cut so it was a little easier for him to wear.

The good news is that Yodie's incision and eye are healed! Yay! I thought it looked bad but it's b/c Dr. Lee told me not to be aggressive in cleaning her up for fear of reopening that incision. I'd wipe her down as best I could but he actually gave her a bath while I was there. He chuckled and I heard him say "Stop growling at me already. I'm taking you back to your mom". LOL

The bad news is that she has to wear that collar for another week. I asked him if I could switch her to a softer collar and he said "Mary, they just don't work well on cats. They chew through them and I know this one (he pointed to Yodie) will do more damage. One more week and then you can take it off her". I said "Can she come live w/you then b/c she's really mad at me? Boo is mad at me, too." He laughed and I said "How 'bout if I let her bite you then?" and he chuckled and said "Sure, why not?"

She's lost a pound b/c she isn't eating as much due to the depression but after the collar's off, Dr. Lee is confident that she'll gain the weight back. I hope she gets her personality back, too, b/c she just mopes around w/her head hanging down, the little drama queen. She'll go back in a month for a reevaluation and to check on the MRSA. She's to stay on the MRSA antibiotic and she's off the Mybayotic ear drops but she has to stay on eye salve although a different one. Jeez, no wonder I have to make charts of all the meds and schedules for everyone.

Well, I'm being glared at right now, so I'm going to make a cup of tea to warm up a little, then I have a ton of errands to catch up on. Thanx for the prayers, everyone. I know that PT prayers work. I'll take a pic of her later and post it.

ETA: Forgot to mention: he didn't charge me anything for today, not for the checkup, not for the suture removal, not for the bath, nothing but the meds. I think he may have felt bad about the last two procedures and how hard it was on Yodie and my finances and also w/Pidge dying. Whatever the reason, it was nice of him to do that.
