Awww, poor Mouthy. I hope she heals up soon.
And your poor sister! I would have been so freaked out having that happen.
Thank you for taking care of this kitty Melissa.

Goodness, to walk in your house and see all that blood had to frighten your poor sister to near death.. I know when Boo's abscess ruptures, it made a terriable mess, blood everywhere and blood all over her.. Scared Rie to panic mode but she was smart and call the vet first, then called me. She made a appointment to bring her in the next moring but I told her "NO! Pack her up and take her then and leave her overnight".. Scared the pants off of me too, I was on the road, on my way home from the boat and knew it would be late night when I got home..I was already tired and knew I couldn't deal with it when I got home if she had gotten worse...still had about 7 more hours before I would have gotten home. That way, we BOTH rested that night! So, I don't have to imagine how your sister felt... I KNOW!

Poor Mouthy....I couldn't believe what I saw when I was at the vets last night waiting to pick up Mouthy.

They had me go into a room where her cat carrier was and her blankets but no Mouthy....they said they wanted to bring her in so I could go over everything with the vets.....

I waited only a few minutes and they brought Mouthy into me and I was SHOCKED! I had no idea she would be cut that much or what happened...they said that it was a good thing they had her sedated because when she started to shave off the dried blood hair the dead skin came off and exposed a big hole...poor Mouthy....she said she had to clip away all the dead skin and then she noticed up a little higher on her leg that there was another abcess starting...so she put a drain in and cleaned her up and stitched her back together....I couldn't believe my eyes...I've never seen anything like this...

The drain tube actually doesn't drain much blood through it, the vet said the idea is to keep a hole open in her skin under so that the blood/puss can drain out and it's doing a good job. Poor girl has to be caged though when we are not home or watching her because she is not supposed to be jumping or doing very much.

Last night she was such a trooper, she doesn't really like the cage but hopefully it will only be until she has the drain out and maybe a few days after that. I didn't go to bed last night till after midnight then I woke up at 3 a.m. because she was meowing (that's why we call her Mouthy) and I went and she had her litter (I had to get her Yesterday's Newspaper Litter) which wasn't as messy as it could have been but I had to change the sheets in there for her and clean up everything and I tried to go back to sleep but I had a hard time doing so.

I finally went back to sleep and got up around 6 a.m. and found out that she messed up the cage again...so I had to change it again, I have a lot of laundry to do tonight.

I've attached some photos of her poor leg.

Please continue the prays that her leg heals well.

Thanks,
Melissa

Wow! That is a large area. I know it's hard to keep the cage clean and hopefully she'll settle down. I hope she'll heal up quickly without any more problems. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.
