    Aww, prayers on the way. for a restful and healing night for you both! Are the other kitties curious about her, or just steering clear of the office for now?

    Fingers and paw pads crossed, prayers on the way, for a restful and healing night (thank you, Karen) for Tinkie and you.

    Have a good rest Tinkie - you'll feel more like yourself tomorrow.

    I hope Tinkie makes a full recovery. I'm glad she started eating. She was probably in some pain. Is she on pain meds?

    Yes she is on pain meds every 8-12 hours and antibiotics. She still isn't moving around much but the vet told me it would take a few days. To bad there isn't kitty rehab (like for people who have hip surgery)

    Hello, I just read the entire thread. I am sorry your Twinkie had to have an operation. I am relieved to hear that she did good re surgery and that she's eating now. You're both in my prayers re her recovery and getting back to normal. It's stressful for the human and the furbaby when furbaby is not well. Take care... Kay

    How is Tinkie doing now, Cheryl?

    We're sending loads of love and prayers and good wishes.

    She finished the pain meds on the weekend and she seems to be doing okay without them. She is having a hard time walking but the vet said that was normal. I have been letting her roam during the day but she isn't going very far from me. At night I keep her in my office. I don't want her to accidentally re-injure herself and I am not awake to hear her. (I know that is being paranoid but until she gets around better I feel more comfortable)

    We have an appointment next Wed to have the stitches removed and then I can find out if she is progressing as she should.
