Re: Ereshkigal has some residual nerve damage

Right I will ask my vet if they can sell me some - I live just down the road from them, but the specialist who operated on Sam lives further away. Hope Ereshkigal's feet look better soon. I'm finding it's a difficult balance between trying to help Sam and not upsetting or frustrating him, or exhaust...

Re: Ereshkigal has some residual nerve damage

Hi bendymom, if you don't mind me asking, how do you make the little socks for your kitty? From what? My Sammy has a rubbed place on one foot from dragging.

Thanks - no the accident itself was 5 weeks ago, sorry if that wasn't clear. But still, he has made some progress.

Trying to care for a paralyzed cat - may recover

About five weeks ago, my cat Sam, who is 3 this summer, suffered what we believe was a bad fall or jump gone wrong from my neighbour's r...
