Ereshkigal's foot has swollen up huge. it is at least twice its normal size.
what did she do to it this time????
So i gave her a dose of metacam and she is back in a small cage. she has a nice bed, so if she sits still she is nice and comfy.
AAAARRRRRGGGHHHHH

i don't want to have to cast her leg

you can also get it at any pet store. or use self-adhering ace wrap. basically teh same thing but vetwrap comes in nifty colors. as to how i cope.. i'm wierd. caring for cats makes me tick, i HAVE to have somefeline to care for, it is a wierd compulsion. since bendy died everything is much harder. s...

First I wrap the foot in thick guaze or rolled cotton. Then I use vetwrap or similar thing over that. It is important when using vet to NOT stretch it as you wrap, otherwise it is too tight and you cut off circulation. I put an additional wrap rigth after the gauze ends to help hold it on. Soemtimes...

i'm glad that he still wants to be outside and participate in life. and the meds have helped, hopefully that will help him feel better.
purrrrrrrrs that he makes through your move (where are you going, btw?) and has time to enjoy the new place.

bendy mom

i have many picts of her, but i will find them when I do not have a headache.

she is a black tortie with a soemwhat meezie build. when she tore her muscle there was some nerve damage from teh trauma. it has partially recovered but not her toes. if i pinch the webspaces between those toes she is clueless, the toes on the fibular side have sensation. she does groom them and con...

Concatulations!

well you realize your 'rent' will be cleaning litter boxes, right ?

her toes on the affected leg do not work. I'm hoping she will regain control/sensation. I noticed today as she was lounging that the front of her toes are raw, they are dragging and rubbing apparently and she does not notice. So I will be making a little sock/book/something to protect them. It isn't...

I have been trying and trying to adopt another twisty, like Bendy was. people post these cats and "oh they need a home right now" and then they don't get back to me or say "well she isn't ready for adoption yet" or, best of all, "we want someone local" even when I've of...

I know a woman in Florida who is looking for a special needs cat to be a companion to her. She had one who recently passed away, had twisted forelegs. I can see if she is interested in Cherry..

i understand. i barely go anywhere anymore. catsitting orientation here takes about 2 hours! please keep us posted on her, I copied & pasted your original post and sent it to someone who might have more contacts. Have you put her on facebook? lots of rescue stuff being done there, too. If you ge...

So what is happening with this lil girl?
any takers? any interest?
is she still completely incontinent?

And butterbean came to me all the way from Florida!
I think it is downright silly to let distance be a factor when transportation is available. esp for a special needs critter!

He wanted to hang out with me as I was working so I put him in the "cat chair" next to me. He can jump down, but I keep an eye on him just in case. He started out playing with a crinkly candy wrapper then found a better toy. So here he is just having fun :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I...

Give him a smooch or a scritch for me.
i definitley understand when they are just needing to not be stressed anymore
purrrrs from the crew here for you both.
