UPdate on Ellie-mae...

[carole]

Thanks both of you, yes donna she is a quite like your shortie girl, just has slight different markings on her mouth,oh donna i can tell you i am so anxious about all of this, i still don't know if i am doing the right thing, but i felt that way when i had decided to not opt for surgery, but since we have to do the dental,and my vet has recommended we go ahead with the other,it seems the right thing to do, but it does seem major, but having being told all the other details about the patch and no collar, ease's my mind a great deal, as ellie is such a easily stressed out cat, it took her two days to trust us again after taking her on saturday.

Surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday, monday where you are,so be praying hard please, my lil girl needs all she can get, and so does her meowmie, who will be beside herself with worry.

And a HUGE THANK YOU to the most wonderful PTer, and you know who you are, my ellie-mae's guardian Angel,that's who.

These pics are for you, ellie-mae before she got sick, she is a lot thinner now unfortunately, but the good news i have managed to get her to maintain her weight, which is always a good sign.

Carole,

You ARE doing the right thing!! Just make sure they don't use Medicam as an anesthetic. It's dangerous to cats and alot of vets are still using it rather than gas, which is alot safer.

She is a beautiful little girl and is very lucky to have you watching out for her!!!

and hugs,

Donna and fur crew

Prayers for Ellie Mae!

Bit confused w/ time zone changes, the surgery may already have happened.

My Lacey had a mammary gland tumor and it was removed, she is fine now. I pray all goes well for Ellie Mae the same, even w/ all her other issues.

I know what you mean about being so nervous, Carole, I think I drove my friends crazy the days leading up to the surgery!

thanks donna, they do use gas, don't worry they are excellent vets, been with them for well over ten years now, and i have 100 per cent faith in my vet who is doing the surgery,he is very kind and caring as well.

No freedom surgery is scheduled for next tuesday, monday your time in the US,just as well kitty does not know yet, i am more nervous than she is, but she does get extremely stressed even going for her check up, she just sits on the vets table and trembles.

I have never had a cat so easily stressed as ellie is,so it is going to be hard on her.

I sure hope you are right Donna that i am indeed doing the right thing, i have my reservations.

I did not want to put her through such an ordeal in the first place, it is just having to the dental, that the opportunity to nip out the tumour has arisen,so it seems the best thing to do.

I tell you i have had many sleepless nights, wondering if i had made the right decision before, and now i feel exactly the same, however if she goes through this op well and she recovers well,then i will be confident that i did indeed do the right thing by her.

Please keep those prayers and good thoughts coming, they mean the world to me,and we need them, thanks my friends.

All prayers and good wishes going out to you and to Elllie-Mae. That is a lot of money...hopefully your vet is ok with payment plans.

Can they do anything in the way of dental treatment that might help dear Ellie's sore mouth?

Again, praying that all goes wonderfully and that you and Ellie-Mae are all right very soon.
