Thanks all.

She did not eat well tonight, but she had quite a day. She was REALLY upset about getting that stitch out. She growled and grumped more than her usual.

She is not much of a purrer, but every once in a while.

She is all "bark" with very little bite. I mean, with all she has been through, she could easily decide to just attack teeth first, but she never does.

She lost only 3 ounces, which is good. Now hopefully she'll hold the wieght or maybe gain some back.

Taboo update.

It has been 2 weeks. Taboo got the stitch out. And her cornea IS healing.

To me, her eye looks really funny, sort of cloudy all over, but the vet is only conceerned with the cornea injury. And it is healing well. (she probably had lost most of the vision in that eye already, due to age)

So, 2 more weeks of the eye creams and back she'll go to be looked at again.

Not bad for a grouchy old lady.

Good girl, Taboo! You just keep eating your food and getting better. Your Meowmie is very proud of you!

Love, Columbine

Good job, Taboo! Keep up the good work!

Taboo's eye is healing. Vet says the corneas heal SLOWLY.

It has been almost 1 month, and she will continue to get the eye meds for at least 3 more weeks.

But she gained some of the weight back that she had lost, and is doing as well as any 17+ year old cat I know.
