Bassett is still doing great. The only thing that I'm a *little* concerned about now are two scabs on either side of her. One I have been keeping an eye on ever since I brought her home from the hospital, because it was in an area that was already shaved. In fact, you can see it in one of the pictures Nathan posted earlier; it's the one that T&P's Mom thought was the incision However, today, I saw her hair was all askew on her OTHER side, and she has another patch of scabs there too. I called Dr. Schiller, and she said that she really thinks that Bassett got a bit of a burn from the thermal water blankets they use to keep the kitties warm in surgery. Because the areas are almost identical, she thinks it's where the blanket/bottle (whatever it is) came into contact with her skin. Bassett is totally "unbothered" by them, and I have been putting vitamin E gel on the one, and now the other, as per Dr. Schiller's advice. I just cut away the fur around the other area, and she purred the WHOLE time.. so I'm thinking it might be itchy or something Hehe.. oh well.. I'm just glad that it isn't serious and she doesn't appear distressed at all.

I'll keep you updated on her continuing recovery!
