[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm glad to hear that Gracie's surgery went well and hopefully she's recovering well at home now. Please get well soon Gracie. Keep us updated when you can Meg.

Peeking in to check on Grcaie - how are things there Meg? Please give Gracie some scritches for me, OK? Also- please let us know just how everyone is doing.

I don't think Meg would mind me posting her PM to me...sorry, but the picture I can't post as there's no [IMG] codes and no way of copying & pasting, but Gracie looks WONDERFUL! Thought you'd all like to know our Princess Gracie is a new cat. ;-)

Hi Jan, just wanted to keep you updated with Gracie. She came home yesterday afternoon at 4 pm and has not stopped running all over the house. She has only slowed down to sleep at night and other than that she is running like there is no tomorrow. She is doing really well. The vet gave me some anti-inflamatory/pain med for her and Clavamox for the antibiotic. She is taking the Clavamox really well but her pain medicine has to be mixed in with her food and she knows it's in there and will barely touch it...so we have a bunch of half looped kitties running around the house as everybody keeps getting into her food. I am trying her medicine mixed with baby food now but still she will not touch it.

I thought she would have come home with an E collar but the vet did not send her home with one and she has been such a good girl and has not bothered her stitches since yesterday.

You will be happy to know that no cage matches have broken out between her and Gabe and it was so sweet when she came home that Gabe gave Gracie a nice little bath before her bedtime last night.

Here is a picture of her from yesterday. I'll touch base with you on Monday. Have a good rest of the weekend ---- Meg

That is just a great update on Gracie, Jan. I am so glad she is doing so well. And she is a smart one huh? She knows when you are trying to give her medicine. LOL Diguise{SP?} is anyway you want and she still knows.

Good Girly Gracie. You are doing soooo well. We are all super proud of you and can wait till you get your stitches out and I know you will be a super good girl.

Hi everyone, thanks again so very much for all the thoughts and prayers for Gracie and thanks to Jan for posting my PM with her update.


Since she came home on Friday she has been non-stop. She was hunting flies when I left for work this morning. She does not seem bothered by the fact that her eye is missing. She is a little hesitant around the house because she has only limited vision in her other eye but it really is only when she wants to jump up or down from something.

I finally got her pain meds into her last night. She had eaten her dinner so I took apart the Clavamox dropper and dropped her pain meds into that dropper and then very carefully added the Clavamox to it.....this is the only way she ends up getting her pain meds. She will be on the pain meds until Wednesday.

Here is a picture of the little Miss Gracie girl when she came home Friday with her wink....her nickname is now Winkie


Thanks again everyone. (((hugs))) from Gracie and her mommy

So happy to hear that she is doing well and that it hasn't changed her playing habits! She is just as beautiful with one eye as she was with 2. I am sure that she is feeling much better now.
