It looks so painful but I'm sure she is feeling some relief now that the wound is draining. I hope that she will heal up wonderfully and will not require any surgery. But if she does, I'm sure she'll do just fine and adjust to whatever changes take place. My cat 'Tiny' had to have all but one toe amputated on her left front foot and she is the spunkiest little thing we've ever seen and doesn't let it get in her way at all. She races around and plays just like the rest of them. I do hope that Peggy gets better with each day and will not need any surgery whatsoever.
