AngelEyes (catnapper's foster) update.

[jenluckenbach]

Angel had her 1st leg surgery (and spay) yesterday and is home (here at Luckenbach's Luxurious Lodgings) today. She did very well.

She is on total bed rest (NO climbing, NO jumping, No stairs, chairs, beds...etc.) for 6 weeks So she will have to be caged.

Her leg is splinted and wrapped. And they made the cutest little bandage you ever wanted to see.



And her spay incision is the neatest one I have ever seen. They stapled it and it looks incredibly good.


(sorry, could not get a closer photo tonight.)

I allowed her out of the cage for a tiny bit of exercise while I cleaned up after her and this is what she does........



YUP! The girl who is suppose to do NO climbing is climbing down off of a chair rung. SIGH.

She gets her stitches out in two weeks and then catnapper.......she's ALL YOURS!!!

She looks like she never had anything done! Except for the tell tail signs of incisions, and bandages, I can't get over how active she looks. Cute bandage for her leg..hope she recovers fully and without any setbacks.

That is the cutest cast I've ever seen, how original. She sure is a pretty little thing.

I'm so happy to hear that Angel's surgery went well. And that cast is just too cute! No kitty antics, climbing, and complete bed rest for 6 weeks? Good luck with that one, Jen!!!!!
Still praying for Angel's complete recovery.....

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..... my heart soared and broke at the same time. It soared because I got to see her, and giggled at the cast... broke to see her looking so sad.

I *thought* I was doing well on getting along without her... and seeing these pictures made me realize I'm kidding myself! I WANT HER!

See Jen... its going to be a looonnnnngggg 6 week recovery. She's NOT going to sit still and she's NOT going to stay on the ground. I swear she thinks she's a part of a trapeze team soaring through the air.

Take good care of my lttle foster.... and let me know how bad she was to pill!

And in the mean time... everyone pray that she ends up where she belongs (here with me or there with the other people... let God decide where she truly belongs and pray that He ensures she ends up in the right home.)

I've been thinking about little Angel non-stop for 2 days! I'm so glad to see an update!

Poor girl I hope her leg heals smoothly. The bandage is so cute!

Good luck keeping her still, and giving her meds

Please give her a hug for me!

Glad to hear she came through the surgery ok. Like the triple L accommodation! I really think she belongs with Catnapper.

LOVE the cast on her leg - such creative folks at that Vet's office.

As for 6 weeks of caging - we went through that with Grady back in the spring after he broke his leg. We ended up putting him on ACE twice a day. It was either tranquilize him - or us. And since he was quite a bit older and bigger than Angel, we voted for him!!

It goes by faster than you can imagine, and slower than slow - if that makes any sense.

Good luck to all involved -

Oh, that bandage/cast is sooooo cute! What a perfect cast for a perfect little kitty. It's sad she has to have leg problems like this but I'm glad to hear she's getting all the help she needs to get better - there are some wonderful people here on PT !!!
