Angel had her stitches out this morning, and she appears to be healing just fine. She made some fans while she was recovering in the hospital. All of the technicians came out to see how she was doing. The technician that was taking care of Angel, commented that she was a very lucky cat as she came very close to losing her life. Cue tears. I cry at the drop of a hat so when it is close to home the ducts just turn on by themselves.
I know need to keep a close eye on her to make sure that she continues to have good strong bowel movements. She is on a special (and expensive) high fibre food, Royal Canine, Medi-Cal,and may need to stay on it for the rest of her time with us.
Because her colon was so impacted, it caused the colon to stretch at least 6 times larger than normal. The Vet had to remove about 6 inches during her surgery. The danger is that the nerves could have been damaged.
Angel is still on anti-biotics but we are along way from where we started. I am so thankful for the wonderful care and attention that she received from the entire staff at our hospital.
