Angel the Cat - Stitches Are Out!

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.

Angel The Cat - Update

Welcome back, Angel had a very good weekend!  Did you know that cats can snore?  I was jarred awake by what I thought was my hubby's snoring and lo and behold, it was Angel, laying on my side (she loves to sleep on top of me, streched out along my legs) snoring her little heart out.  Of course I just smiled, what else are you going to do.

She is getting alot more active, we played fetch the ball early this morning, she woke me up around 2:30 am, jumped on the bed and dropped her wet ball on my uncovered legs, little monkey.  Since she was a kitten she has loved to play fetch (just like a puppy) go figure!

Of course this is all good!

Her stitches are starting to bother her, they must be itchy, she is supposed to have them removed this  coming Wednesday.  If you have any pearls of wisdom to share  to keep her from pulling her stitches, I would love to hear them.

Thanks for taking an interest in "Angel the Cat's story.
