Good vibes for Gatto (Teufel)

[fwan]

i brought him home last night and he was still a bit out of it, he was very cute

He would not leave my side, he stayed in the kitchen while i was cooking just staring at nothing, i gave him a little bit of food and it took him ages to eat it, when i sat on the couch he came and snuggled up to me and we stayed there for ages until he finally moved and I went to bed!
I woke up with him laying next to me, he has just had breakfast and now here comes the dreadful part, i have to rub his wound with salted water to keep it open for the next few days and i have to do it twice daily!

Oh Fran!

- And for Gatto -

BUT... he's home.

So what was the prognosis? Did it turn out to "just" be an infection they had to drain?

Keeping up for your baby boy's healing!

Just checking in on Teufel. How's he doing?

 

[fwan]

he looks fine and is running around, and relaxing, constant battle getting his antibiotics in, i have to mix it with a tiny bit of honey so i can smear it into his gums, but as soon as he sees it on my finger he runs!

Cleaning his would is seriously making me ill so i had to get my MIL to come and do it!

Oh, Fran, I'm sorry to hear that Teufel is still having trouble with his leg. Mega that he heals up quickly now!

Poor baby...
will he be re-check by his vet soon?

Sending more healing thoughts to your brave boy.

I am sorry to hear about what you and Gatto have been through. If your vet hasn't advised it, three months after the initial fighting Gatto should be tested for FeLV and FIV.

It can take 3 months for a test to show positive after exposure, that's why it's important to wait. Well you can do it now, but then will have to recheck in 3 months anyway.

You are a great cat mom. Best wishes for an uneventful recovery from here on.

Just wanted to update everyone,
Teufel Has been such a good boy looking after me

and he did very well with his wound, it has healed nicely.

We did have our moments with the honey medicine but he still loves me none the less!
He so wants to go back outside and hubby is in the process of designing and building a cat enclosure for our backyard!!

I am so glad he is back to him self and his fur is growing nicely!!

Lots of Kisses and Paws and thank you all for your support and vibes!

This is wonderful news.

The enclosure sounds like a great idea...
when it's finished, be sure to share some photos with us.
Way to go Gatto.
