UPdate on Ellie-mae...

[carole]

candace she is home, actually i am more worried when the patch comes off ,it is what is keeping her happy ,however vet says that is all she will need, i hope so, gosh the cut is pretty darn big. i reckon about 6 to 8 inches long, poor baby, she is sound alseep on our bed now, and stretched right out, you can see her cut so well, i was going to take a pic , but the battery is dead,she did not eat much tonight, but i think all in all she has done ok really considering all she has been through.

Vet wants her only on one steroid a day at the moment,so from 4 that is a big decrease, when i pilled her i could feel her mouth was swollen,this has been a really big ordeal for her, i hope she continues to make a good recovery.

We have put her through major surgery, but i do think it was the right choice now,and ellie will hopefully have a much better quality of life, she is such a sweetie, with that real fiesty nature mixed in, that is what makes her so special, she has been through tough times before i adopted her and now i just want her life to be as good as it can possibly be.

Ellie did exceptionally well yesterday on her return for the vets,however today is not so good, she is hardly eating at all,just has a small amount at breakfast and nothing since, not keen on drinking either, she did do a big pee though, but i am worried about her, she is sleeping lots, slept all night on our bed, and stayed there until lunch time apart from getting up to eat a little when i brought it up to her.
She ventured down the stairs, had a look at the door as if to say well let me out then, walked around a bit, sat down then went upstairs and is sound asleep on the floor not too far away from the computer.

off to see vet at 3.15 for patch removal tomorrow, so will have her checked then, all going well,just have to get her eating more.

She still a bit spaced out, but so quiet and gentle, and she gives me some rubs now and then,please continue to send healing wishes and prayers and thoughts for my baby, just want to get her through all of this and get her well and happy again.
LATER TODAY:
I just cannot get her to eat anything bar the little amount this morning, she looks so unhappy and miserable, i feel so upset, what have I done to her,I am not feeling so good about my decisions right at the moment, i cannot put stuff in her sore mouth that would hurt to much, thank god we are going to see the vet tomorrow as i am worried sick.

Prayers for dear Ellie-Mae. I suspect she will perk up once the patch is off, and her appetite too. She has been through a lot, as you say, you are very right about that.

Your vet sounds wonderful, and I am sure he will do everything possible to help Ellie-Mae and you.

More prayers for Ellie-mae and you. She has been through a lot and is probably very tired out from it all at this point.

I'm so glad she's going back to see the vet. He has been wonderful, and he will help her get through this hard time.

Prayers and good wishes and warm healing energies,
Love from Pat and cats

thank you, your kind word are very re-assuring, i hope you are all right, she almost looks like she has given up the will to go on, but maybe i am just reading too much in to it, and feeling guilty about putting her through all of this, i am hoping for a much needed turn around tomorrow, maybe this will be her worst day, and tomorrow she will perk up, fingers and all paws crossed for that.

She is sleeping on the spare bed in our bedroom now, with her blanket over her, and i have put my wheat pack up against her ,i will get my husband to go get and extension cord, as we don't have enough plugs in our room, and then we can put the pet electric blanket on for her, hopefully that will bring her comfort.

Ellie is not doing well at all, i am gravely concerned for her, i have to go to a hospital appt early at 9am, i wish i could get out of it, but i can't, then i am going to see if we can get her in earlier to see the vet, i cannot wait that long, unless she is better tomorrow, but somehow i doubt that, i am just beside myself with worry, i feel so horrible that i have put her through this now,oh i hope she is going to be ok, i am so worried, been bawling my eyes out all night,please continue with your prayers, we both need your support right now so very much, thanks.

Oh, Carole, I am so sorry. I hope and pray so much that the vet will help Ellie-mae and she will soon be getting stronger.
