Thread: Poor Paddington :(

Poor Paddington had a little poo party last night.

Whilst he was shut away he did a poo, stepped in it, then his bandaged leg acted like a poo rubber stamp dolloping little poo circles all over the floor. After this he knocked his water bowl over, played around in it then went to sleep. We awoke to this chaos when we opened the door to the hall this morning. Paddington didn't seem to care though, he was laying on the floor on his back, legs akimbo (like a squashed spider) COVERED in poo and trotted off into the lounge like nothing had happened. Grrrrrrrrrr.

Took him to the vet tonight to have his bandage changed and because his foot was so wet underneath they have had to keep im in overnight to wait for it to dry out then put a new one on in the morning :(((((( Poor little man.

Uuuuuuuuuumm this made m laugh...a lot!! xx

Had the call we were dreading yesterday. The Orthopedic people have reviewed Paddingtons X-rays and he does have a small fracture in one of the bones in his wrist. The vet told me that this *might* be able to heal itself with strict cage rest for 2 weeks and if not surgery will be our only option at a cool £2500.

Acquired a cage last night and will start the cage rest today. Poor little guy, he is going to hate this :(

Any ideas on how to keep an MC entertained whilst on cage rest? Any experiences????

Poor Paddington. It is a shame all the people here can't take turns cuddling him and keeping him entertained.

Just try to keep his cage wherever you happen to be so at least he doesn't feel out on a limb{no pun intended} or can he go out in the garden while you are about & bird watch,I think it is one of the hardest things you have to do with a cat,pity he wasn't put on that right at the start,he would have been through his sentence by now.....!
Give him a cuddle from over here & fingers crossed for him....x

poor paddington i dont envy you at all

Does anyone know if he should be allowed out of his cage at all. It just seems so horrible keeping him caged all the time? I just put my hand in to stoke him and he seemed desperate to escape :( It makes me really upset.
