KiKi is having his leg amputated...

[JustineNYC]

Prayers for Kiki, that this is life-saving for him, and that he recovers quickly.

I'd be surprised if there were "bloody bandages" as I think they suture up with some extra skin and it is quite clean.

But still, you get to spoil Kiki at your place for a while, and give him some pain meds.

Looking forward to a good update!

While we were waiting for the biopsy results, he actually bit into the tumor and we bandaged it...he got it off, we bandaged it again, even with the e collar on. He bled real bad all over Kris's place....and today we were at the vet because its actually infected now. But he told me he almost passed out when he saw the stitches from the previous removal, so with his leg totally gone, itll probably make him queasy.

I just cant wait to get it over with. Ive had family over from NY and weve been juggling work, collars, bandages, with grandmas visit.

Poor KiKi. They can analyze the tissue from the leg in much more detail after the amputation.

Smokey the Elder looked like Frankenstein's Kitty but didn't bother the staples. They didn't bleed at all. She was the best patient ever. She hopped up the stairs the night I brought her home.

The only thing is that if he has an itch on that side, you need to scratch it for him. Smokey used to twitch her hip joint when she needed a scratch.

Please Make Sure The Vet Puts On A Pain Med Patch for KiKi.. That would be a must with my babies..

Awww! Kiki, heal fast and don't freak out your Dad to bad.. You will find that getting around on 3 legs is not that difficult with a few minor adjustments.

(Fingers crossed and prayers sent that that will be the end of it!)

Me and Sasha send good thoughts to Kiki. We will keep him in our prayers... and his pawpie, as he will need strength when Kiki comes home and may need a bandage change!

Best wishes to Kiki and you all. He'll be up and around in no time and never even notice.
I have to chuckle at your bf beings squemish. Leave it to the women folk to take care or what needs taken care of. LOL! My boyfriend wretches and gags at picking up kitty or puppy poop. I'm the pretty dainty sort that won't pickup heavy things and there are just somethings I expect (opened doors etc) but when it comes right down to it, I'll pick up the poop and wipe up the puke without a thought. LOL. Must be the meowmie in us all!
Kiki, you have an ace nurse and you'll feel good as new in no time flat!
Love,
Claudia & Calvin

I'm sorry to hear that it's come to this but it's the best thing for Kiki and he'll be just fine afterwards. I have friends w/a 3 legged cat and he's a marvel and doesn't let it stop him one bit. It's all kinda scary in the beginning for you, especially for your boyfriend, but all will be well very soon. Mega prayers going up for all of you. In the meantime, keep the faythe.
