Thread: A must have for Christmas!! Foot and hand warmers

Well he has his appetite back!!

He is now hoping around on it and seems fine, except for trying all the time to get his cone off

Fingers crossed the vet will let you remove the cone while you are around to keep an eye on him & just put it back when he is left,it is natural for him to want to get to his wound & we have found that mostly if an animal can do that then they don't bother so much with it anyway.So pleased he is eating better & I am sure once he is coneless so he can start adapting to three legs he will not look back.

Came home from work normally takes me 20 mins took me 45 mins.. Rushed in to be met with the lounge door open Poseidon in the hall and all the other cats in the lounge... thought the worst, went in to panic thinking OMG his leg would be now nicely ripped open all stitches removed, to find he was perfect... unlike my lounge which was trashed, won't be doing that again!!

Set off for the vets after a hour and a quarter drive to the vets in a terrible blizzard conditions, which made driving hellish!! we got him to the vets, temperature taken perfect,leg its self perfect,My nerves shot!! She gave me some liquid food for him full of calories as he has not eaten properly he polished off half a tin when we got home.

They gave him a shot of pain killer, and then he was put in a warm incubator while I sat down with the veterinarian and the receptionist with a cup of coffee!!

All warmed up headache tablet taken, back to brave the roads, just before I left got a sms from Amber to say the bus had crashed and could I come and pick her up!!! Stressed... again. lol

Picked her up, drove home.. we arrived home at 9pm - set off at 4:15..

Next appointment Monday fingers crossed it does not snow!! Cone will come off and all will be good! I will have 5 of my lads with me for their rabies shots and vaccinations ready for the shows, so hope it all goes well

Sorry Debbie had to have a little giggle,the above sounded as if it should be made into a "Carry On"movie,just very pleased that eventually you all made it safely home & no doubt the one least bothered by it all was Poseidon.....

Lol, it was like a carry on movie... but I wish I had been watching it on TV rather than playing the part!!

And the least bothered was Poseidon he was wrapped up safe and sound with his water bottle and his blanket!

Hi Debbie, I've been following little Poseidon's adventures with interest, isn't he doing splendidly, you must be so pleased, if a little stressd out! And a blizzard to top it all and make life that bit more 'interesting'! I hope you had a stiff glass of something when you got home, and lots of cuddles from your furries...xxx

Phew... it never rains but it pours doesn't it?
You must be knackered... I'm glad everything turned out OK in the end. And just a few more days with the collar for poor Poseidon.

Soon he will have it back and he will be back to normal.

Yesterday for the first time he jumped on the couch! and the chair so the leg sure is not bothering him at all..

Great that he is already jumping up onto things,shows he has already adjusted to three legs & when he is given freedom from collar there will be no stopping him.
Just right for getting up speed to enjoy chasing all that xmas wrapping round the floor.
Those horrible days leading up to & just after the op will soon be a blip in the past.
Fingers crossed that there is not too much more snow when you have to visit the vets again,one marathon sounds quite enough... x

He is getting there though yesterday was the longest day on his own, and he has rubbed the wound with the collar, roll on weekend and then we can take it off for a while, when we are there!! more snow on its way tomorrow... thankfully I only have to drive to work in it and not to the vets! No stiff drink, I had to make dinner feed and clean all the cats then I just fell in to bed!
