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.
