Prissy is doing great. She had her tail medically removed a while back, and I thought I'd let everyone know how she's doing.
Since we had the necrosed tissue removed, she has been an entirely different cat. She went from being a lazy, somewhat distant lap cat to being an energetic, attention-getting kitten. She's doing great. Every time I take her to the vet, they are amazed by how great she's doing. She's around a decade old and the vets are always saying she's got the health of a 5 year old. The vet here is amazed. She's the one that didn't want to remove the tail, but after seeing the results she is impressed.
Prissy's playing with everything, she brings food to my other cats, she's being pushy and demanding when she wants attention. She's back to how she was before she had the injury to her tail. Her arthritis doesn't even seem to be bothering her as badly.
The only problem we seem to be having is maybe some stud-tail issues. She's got dandruff on her nub, but an oily patch right at the base of her tail. She's a Black and white Tuxie, so it's hard to see if she has any black heads there, but every once in a while I see something that looks like flea dirt, only she gets treated every month for fleas and I don't see any other sign of fleas on her. Does this sound like stud-tail to anyone else? Prissy does get kitty acne on her little white chin from time to time, and it looks similar.
I suppose I'll go back to loving on Miss Demanding here, and watch her wag her little nub. Such a healthy, cute little bunny butt. Thanks to everyone who sent her vibes just after her surgery. They really seem to have paid off.
