Leo - a close shave- Prayers please

[Sonia59]

Thanks for the update! I am glad Leo is getting better and I keep fingers crossed that he fully recovers. Leo is a beauty.

Leo's Mum emailed me yesterday with the results of the latest check-up at the hospital.
Apparently Leo was very well behaved and sat quietly while he was examined by the two different feline specialists, so much so that they commented on what a beautiful, well-behaved boy he is. Although butter wouldn't melt in his mouth at the hospital, apparently once he got home he was once again living up to his nickname "Houdini" and trying to slide out of the back door!

Anyway the news is very encouraging. His enzyme levels are down by 75% and should level out back to normal soon. Evidently it was the trauma that raised them.

Regarding his eye, there is slight improvement but long term there is expected to be some vision impairment. He will be taken for another check-up in two weeks' time and meanwhile has daily treatment at home.

He has just about finished up his antibiotics and is eating and toileting well and enjoys a little walk on his leash now and again which seems to cheer him up and he also gets great comfort from being with his brother Milo and by climbing up onto his Mum & Dad's bed at night for a cuddle. (I think we all know about that one... )

All in all he is making a good recovery considering what he went through just under a week ago. He's a strong and determined little guy with a great zest for life and all the adventures it has to offer and he is well-loved and pampered and has much to live for. I am so happy I came by when I did and was able to help him keep on living the good life. I wish I could give him a hug but I've asked his Mum to do that for us.

By the way, his purrents are very touched at all the good wishes and prayers that have come from around the world via this wonderful website and send thanks to you all. One member even PM'd me to say that some nuns in NJ were praying for him because the accident occurred the day before the feast of St Leo for which they were preparing!

This is a wonderful website and it's great how we all support and care for and help one another. Thanks everyone.

So glad to hear from Leo. Leo, what a strong boy you are- just getting better.

I send you a cyber-hug as well and Filou and Tigris send headbumpies.

Hope you enjoy your time of recovery- everyone being nice and gentle to you and giving you treats and cuddles

You go, Leo! Looks like you spent one of your lives. I'm glad Leo is feeling better.
