She is home today and in a cone which she hates, but is eating and drinking lots so that's good. I've spent the whole day with her to make her feel more comfortable and loved and she's a purr machine right now, even though I know she must be in pain and sore all over.


Here is her in her cone:



Here is her incision, it's so much huger than we thought it would be!:




We shold get the biopsy results in 1-2 weeks. Please pray for my baby!!!

That is a large incision! Did they give you any antibiotics? or give her any shots before you brought her home to help with inflammation?

And can you draw a heart on her e-collar?
You know you want to.


Hope she heals up quickly.

Your poor darling. I know how shocked we were about the incision when Much had to have a tumor removed from between her shoulder blades. Hopefully you will have good news soon.

They didn't give us any anti-biotics and only gave her a pain shot before we left..... We go back in two weeks to have the staples removed, she's resting a lot and had really bad diarrhea but when we called this morning the vet said that is completely normal the first few days after surgery due to the anesthesia.

It's so hard seeing her like this. I really want her all better!!!

Keep an eye on it. I recently had a little girl spayed, which is a smaller incision, and her incision got infected.
I did catch it early, so she was no worse for the wear.

Of course you will do that though, you're a good cat owner!

More for a quick and permanent recovery.
