since October. . . .
I've been earning her trust since then and could finally get her close enough to pet her.
I finally caught her today, and took her to the vet. She was walking funny, and stank to high heaven. Poor little thing had a massive absess covering her entire back end under her tail, including internal infections, and every one's favorites, maggots. They did the best they could cleaning it all out, gave her antibiotics, and something to kill any remaining guests, and told me its touch and go in the next 48 hours. She may have too much scar tissue inside and if so, I will have to do the right thing and haver her put down.
She is currently residing in a big dog kennel with her brand new bed and water dish in my kitchen. We named her Hobbes. Any good energy anyone can spare in her direction would be greatly appreciated. She's a ferocious little thing, and pretty tough. Here's to hoping.
You're good folks, Saucy. Sending kitty-healing vibes your way!
You know what I mean!
Me too.Here's hoping little Hobbes makes a speedy recovery!
We have had cats before, and my heart broke over each one. My daughter went to the vet with me and she said, "it's amazing how attached you can get to a cat who you have just been feeding outside." When the receptionist came out to call back another patient, she said "Jake?" and my daughter piped up with "from State Farm?" I don't know what I'd do without that kid. She cracks me up, right when I need it most.Oy! Here's hoping and praying Hobbes makes it. We had to have our kitty (also a rescue) put down mid-March and it damn near killed me, never mind the effect it had on the kids.
.....Tequila, you dirty girl. You never disappoint.
Happy Cinqo!
Dear Saucy:
What's the latest with Hobbes?
Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely ladies of Lit. In honor of the occasion, pmann is sending you gifts.
Yeah, but what is the great Muncher of Nipples getting us?
Just popping in to wish all the Mum's a Happy Mother's Day.
Ask your vet about letting you give her IV fluids at home. It's not as scary as it sounds. The vet will give you an IV set up and show you how to use it. You insert the needle into the skin between kitty's shoulderblades and let the fluid run in as the vet prescribed. It actually goes into kitty's fat tissue, but the fluid absorbs into her system. It's the best way to keep them hydrated when they absolutely refuse food or water.Yesterday she was doing pretty well, but today she won't eat and is just lying around. Vet said to make sure she stays hydrated so going to try to tempt her with some milk later since she doesn't want to drink her water either. Poor little pumpkin. She's been lying on a blanket on my lap for the last 2 hours. Thanks for asking and to every one for all the well wishes for the furry little beast.
Here is the new lil love of my life:
