Please Pray for Winnie - pics added on post 65

We are home! Winnie has 3 fractured bones in her wrist. The vet said they are clean and all lined up like they should be and would heal on their own but it would take a long time.

Since winnie is still jumping on the washer and places, the vet put a splint on her paw. That way it should heal faster. The vet said call them if she chews on the splint.

Well, we've been home about half and hour and winnie already has started to unwrap it. Now she has to wear one of those e collar things. They will bring it and put it on her this afternoon.

My girl is one very unhappy camper right now. She will really throw a hissy fit when they put that collar on her. We will have to go to the vet every week for 6 weeks for them to check her splint and things.

One positive thing, she now has a weapon to thump chip with when he picks on her.

The vet tech just left. Winnie now has a satelite dish of here very own. She sure hates it. I feel like I'm just making a bad situation worse.

Goodness sakes Winnie - what have you done to yourself? You would think that you were Angel or Chip getting into trouble the way you do.

I am sorry that you now have a collar to wear - but we need all of your feet to function well and heal.

What a time you are giving your Mom - please find a comfortable spot and take a good nap. Maybe you can get some sympathy from the other kitties if you play it up just right.

Goodness Gracious! Winnie, I am so sorry to hear this!!! I hope you heal up quickly.

I have found several issues with the cone. One is the inability to eat/drink. I use a couple of small blocks of wood (perhaps 4" square) and put the food and water on it. It allows the cat to eat/drink, and the cone to go around the wood. Otherwise, every time the cat tries to eat, the cone hits the floor, scaring it. I also take the cone off during the day when I am right there. Otherwise, the cat seems to get depressed.

The litterbox can be challenging, too..I switched to a super low sided box....again, every time the cone hit the box, the cat got scared.

Good luck!

Mercy me, poor little Winnie. I am sorry your paw hurts sweetie. That
sure was a nasty bump you got by the step ladder.

I can't imagine any kitty would like wearing a cone around it's neck, but
if that's what it's gonna take to heal up... Do you have a small
dog cage (maybe the Vet has one you could use) to confine her & keep her
from jumping around on the bad paw? Just for a week or two?

Hope you heal up & feel 100% soon Winnie.

Is this the same vet that said it was just bruised?
Guess they didn't bother to do x-rays the first time

I hope Winnie will be a good patient. When Pepper broke her toe, she chewed off her cast one night.

I thought mommy loved me! How could she do this to me????



I have a feeling I'm not going to have the heart to leave that cone on for long.

Aww, Winifredita! I am so sorry you have an ouchy wrist and I hope it will heal very fast. *kiss* to make it better

[Pinot's Mom]

Oh! Poor Winnie! I'm so sorry she turned out to have a worse problem then originally thought! Prayer for a quick recovery, sweetie!

[astrid]

Oh my! I'm so sorry baby girl
My heart went broken when I saw you with that thing... I'm sorry
Prayers for a quick recovery and lots of love and kisses for you sweetie

Poor Winnie - a broken wrist??? How awful - been there and done that - twice!!!

Well, one good thing I suppose. You can give that "oh woe is me" look and play on the sympathy of Meowmie - it's always good for extra lovins and treats!

Hope you heal fast and well - and that you stay away from the mean old step stool in the future.
