Who is able to help Naomi? (Nomilyn)

[Lirathal]

Hey all,

I have been hard at work as always (and don't let Naomi tell you otherwise :P) and here is a little thing to show you Bassett's progress.

Oh Bassett's incision looks like it is healing up beautifully, but what are the burns on her side from? Poor baby. The one on the right side looks sore. Is it? I hope not.

Looking cool Naomi in the hat.

[Nomilynn]

The burns are from a thermal blanket/water bottle thing they used to keep her warm during the surgery. The one on her right side, actually, is doing better than the one on her left. The one on the left has started to peel, and she's been licking/tugging, and it's hurting her. I've been treating with peroxide and polysporin - does anyone know how it will affect her if she licks that off? I may call the vet tomorrow and ask if it's the best remedy, and get some Veritron (gross tasting) spray to keep her away from it.

I'll keep you posted though

Thanks for looking at the video.

Bassett, it is absolutely BEE-YOO-TEE-FULL to see you and your Catitude!! Looking good!


Naomi - Nice hat

Nathan -A/V dept. - Great Job!

Peroxide will not harm her. Polysporin, I am not sure. A bit of hydrocortisone cream might help it not to itch (so she might be more tempted to leave it alone)

Glad to see she's doing well.

Loved the update video. Nice to see Bassett with Cattitude.

Ohhh I got goosebumps reading about Bassetts burns. Ouchy.
Poor baby. I'm so sorry it hurts her.

Naomi, whenever my cat or dog had a sore on them, the vet recommended Ozonol, the regular one and it worked wonders.
Ask your vet about it.
Maybe you might have to put a cone on her until it starts to heal more.

Apart from that, I'm so glad to hear she is doing much better.

Great update video. Bassett's burns sure look like they'd be painful. I sure hope that she heals up quickly. Take care.

[Steffi N]

Poor Bassett, those burns look so nasty. Glad you're not letting them keep your cattitude down. I hope they heal quickly.

Cute video A/V Dept.

I thought it was cute when you said "Doesn't she look good in my hat" (or close to that anyway). I was expecting a pic of Bassett with your hat on, but instead it was Naomi. You're too sweet.

I'm glad to hear she is doing so good. You gotta know that if the tortietude is back that she's feeling much better, and that is wonderful, wonderfu, wonderful news!!!

I went to the vet today and asked about what to treat the burns. They said that polysporin was fine, and that the main thing was to keep the burn moist and covered with a bandage. So, she looks like she is wearing a lovely purple tube top right now (I got some purple vet wrap) and she's all bandaged and treated. The burn on her left looked even worse this morning, so I wanted to make sure I was treating it properly. As for right now, she really hates the tube top, but I don't think she'll be able to get it off.

I'll keep you posted!

I would love to see a picture of Bassett in that tube top.

I'm glad to hear that she is doing well. Hopefully her burns will heal very quickly.

I can't believe that something that was supposed to help her through the surgery is actually making her feel worse than the surgery itself! I sure hope she can't get at the burn so it can heal up and then she'll be all better.

We do have some, and Nate is planning on getting them up today

She hasn't been able to get at the actual burns, but she has worked her bandages big time! She's chewed through them in several places. They are starting to look rather pathetic, but I only want to change them once a day, before bed time. Bassett doesn't really play at night, so if they go on then, she has a good 4-6hours where she sleeps. Right now she's chewing like mad, trying to get them off, but as long as the burns are still covered, I'm not going to make her wear a cone. She get so depressed. Hopefully, it won't come to that!

I'll keep you posted on this ongoing saga!
