Poor baby. At least you found it! Frankie wa sent home with a hood yesterday after his biopsy. He promptly removed it. He is blind so needs those whiskers to navigate. I am not sure what I will do as he is supposed to thave the hood on for 2 weeks! BTW, that vet had no business washing her eyes

We can't keep the hood on her. She became hysterical. She can be a very high strung little girl and fight like a lion when she has to do something she doesn't want to. I did manage to get the Clindamycin capsules down her this morning with only one scratch. She is on this for a couple weeks

Thanks Lynne. I am looking into something called a Pro-collar, in extra small, for Frankie. It's made by www.gandbmarketing.com but I cannot find (so far) any place locally that offers the extra small. Frankie did cause some bleeding by scratching the incision/stitch in one of the 4 bipsied

Do you have any Rescue Remedy or Cat Nap? Both should help calm her so will Feliway spray. Stress, for all of us, is a bad thing. On Apr 27, 2008, at 9:13 AM, Lynne wrote: We can't keep the hood on her. She became hysterical. She can be a very high strung little girl and fight like a

Hm. I am not getting all the emails. Sharyl, only saw yours within Lynne's. Anyhoo, Sharyl, thanks for good wishes for Frankie. He has four biopsy spots on his chin and I am hanging out where he is today to make sure he doesn't scratch. Unfortunately, I am having a mild surgical procedure

Sharyl, good reminder. I used to chase with syringe of 1 cc water unless the kitty would eat canned food or drink broth after being pilled. Pills can stick to esophagus and cause ulcer. For more info about pilling and alternatives see this vet's website: www.catinfo.org Laurie - Original

I'm so sorry Lynne. I hope she recovers from this quickly. :( I've had situations before that I can't believe one vet didn't notice, yet another did. At least she has this pain out of her paw and that should make her start to feel better soon. She's glad to have crossed paths with you.
