Even though I registred early 2001, I only had posted a few times with some cat questions. But it wasn´t untill my little skinny darling Pollýanna disapeared a year ago that I went to the Cat Lounge for some support, and ever since that day it has been such a big part of my life
(Pollýanna came back home 2 days later, hungry, dirty and smelling of oil, but luckyly not injured) Getting all the support here I realized that here were people that understood my love for Pollýanna, and didnt consider cats as "just pets" Boy, am I glad I found my way to here!
Since Pollýanna brought me here, I thought I´d write a little update on her health. I think I might even also write in her tread in health and nutrition, for all the dirty details
Hmmmmmm.....When was I here last....her "tumours" had gotten bigger and bigger and she had a few kiwi sized or apples sized. After the vet took a sample from one of the tumours, the stitch opened and the tumour started growing out of there. As the vet removed the extra growth she realized the skin around there was dead, so after some "fixing" she had a big open wound that I had to change every day. At one point the vet had gotten the result that this was not cancer - yet, and decited to try to take a part of all this and I took her in for an operation (that was a week ago, when I sneaked in here for a few minutes). After the operation the vet told my she was shocked to see all the growth in the tumours in the few days she hadnt´t seen her, and said, at this point, it was either to try to take all this, or to let her go
So everything was cut off, about a pound of tumours! and since then she has had something very tight over her body and bandages underneeth. She has even lost some nipples, I can only find on at the moment! The longest cut is over 5 inches and she has cuts from neck to bottom. Yesterday she first walked, but for the week I have had to take to to the box 2x a day, feed her some special medical food with syrigne (sp?), otherwise she has just slept, untill yesterday, when she took a little look at the garden from the window sill (with a little help, she cant even jump up to a chair).
When she was waking up from her operation, well, she just didnt wake up, and at one a clock the night after the op (wich was done in the morning) I had her on my and a fleece jacket over her to keep her warm, I realised the was still so cold, and very stiff and her neck was just hanging loose (if I moved her head) and I got no responce from her. At that time I totally panicked and starting sqirting water in her mouth, and by that got some response, but not much. I woke all that night to keep her warm and keep her from doing herself any harm, but I wasnt untill noon the next day that she could walk just a few steps, but no more than that.
This last week has been so hard, and today I took her in for a check, and that story is not for sensitive people
I´m off to bed soon, but I´m gonna write her whole story and this newest news on the Health and Nutrition tomorrow.
All this has been so hard on the nerves, I´m just dont seem to be able to take any more these days, and thank God for each day with Pollýanna around, especially when there is some progress, which isn´t all the time unfortunately.
