Tinkie has a Fractured Femur

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.

How did today's appointment go, Cheryl?

We are continuing to send along the prayers and love and warm healing energies.

She actually gets her stitches out next Wed, but for the last couple of days she is getting around. She has now taken to climbing up the chair in my office so that she can sit on the window perch and look down on the birds (while sitting in the sunshine). So all things considered I think she seems to be doing okay (especially since it has only been about a week and a half since the surgery)

I'm glad she is feeling better.
