Great news about Taz...you have your hands full with those critters this week don't you?

That's for sure. Then last night I heard Zoee make a weird noise. It was like a cough but held inside. Like she just didn't open her mouth. I was like awww man, here we go already. But she only did it the once, so there's still a glimmer of hope there.
I have to look into the Bordatella shot and see how long it lasts.

Anyway, I am anxiously waiting for the doctor to call and say Taz can come home!

Oh, I had a dream that Taz was already home this morning when I got up. I was like - how did he get home? And then I guess we figured he came home on his own. LOL Dreams can be so weird. But he was happy to be home in my dream.

He's home!!! (But I'm not)
Bruce said he is one pi$$ed kitty. He was doing the meow/growl on the way home.
They gave him a soft collar, at my request. We'll see how that goes.

I'll take some pictures of him tonight or this weekend (if he'll let me).

Thank you so much for all the kind thoughts and prayers. It means so much to me.

Aw, grumpy kitties are the cutest. He'll mellow out when his mom gets home in a little while. I'm glad that all went well, though. Give him some gentle scritchies for me. (when it's safe )

He did not make a peep on the way there yesterday morning. Which is actually unusual for him.

Well, I came to give an update. But I'm still trying to see through my tears after reading Katie's thread.

So I'll be brief and update more over the weekend. I saw him for about 5 minutes when I first got home. He seemed VERY happy to see me. It took a minute but I got him purring. Then he followed me while I read his paperwork from the vet and was rubbing against me, as best he could with the collar on.
I had to go feed the dogs and when I went back in he was hiding under the bed and would NOT come out. I kept talking to him telling him if he came out I'd take the collar off while I was with him for a break.
We went to dinner and when I got back he came out to see me again. I took his collar off and let him clean himself. I literally sat 6 inches from him while he cleaned and if he even got close to the incision I'd stop him. Oh, the looks he gave me...... I could only imagine what he was thinking.
OH, I gave him the medicine and he sat there like he was waiting for it. LOL Then I realized they only gave me enough for one dose. So I have to call tomorrow to get more. Unless they don't want him to have more.
The incision is about 4 to 5 inches long and has about 12 staples in it. So we have to go back in 10 - 14 days to remove them.

Ok, this is enough for now. More coming later and maybe even some pix.

Cindy, thank you for caring about Andy when you have a pitiful boy on your hands too.

Sorry I did not post earlier, I know you understand though.

I am SO glad Taz is home, and that he looks ok. Thats alot of staples! Poor guy, it is so hard when we must vet them, isnt it?

I can only imagine what he was thinking when you would not let him lick his ouchies, but he will forget soon enough!

I dont know about the meds? I thought they got pain meds for about 3 days?
I just always request it, and have never had any problems. Maybe his age had something to do with it.

I will look for the pictures, and I am so glad he purred for you. Cats are so special!

Prayers still going out to my favorite old fella Taz, and I pray he heals up quickly and perfectly!
