Total sidetrack from me. One of our cats (Frodo) was attacked by a dog today (on our property). Frodos left leg has had to be amputated & vet rates chance of survival at 30%. When the vet went in to do the op, there was more extensive damage than first thought. 4.5 hour surgery. Vet said they were the worst injuries he'd ever seen on a cat still alive. Still many hurdles to overcome if he is to make it. Owner is horrified (builder at nearby building site). Pls wish poor Frodo luck or a painless end.
Belfie - oh sweetie.... that is just so stressful..... your little Frodo is strong.... go gently on yourself during this very anxious time. What does the vet say is the most dangerous time in the recovery? Sending your little fur baby lots of love and cuddles from afar, and some for his mum too.
Well, still recovering here, after a bout of norovirus ( wish I'd been on a cruise ship to get it though). Yikes, that was a completely miserable couple of days. I've never had gastro like that before, where in addition to gastro I had headaches, aches, pains and chills and fevers, and cramping all over (except in my tummy.... weird). I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Just hoping that I haven't given it to DH or HB. Poor HB I was breastfeeding her and had to put her down in the middle of the night to go puke. First time for everything. But you'd think that given her immune system is so immature that she would have come down with it by now? I got it Sunday night and it's now 3pm Tuesday. Well here's hoping she's ok..... it will be an anxious few days from here. OMG I was miserable. I didn't think it was possible to feel that miserable. Its usual to come down with it 12-48 hours after contact, but can take up to 6 days according to a friend of mine who is a dr specialising in infectious diseases. Anyway, DH has been a champion looking after HB and she has been good accepting him as her primary carer the past couple of days. But I miss cuddling her so much! I hate just sitting back and letting DH do everything, and I hate not having any physical contact with HB, but worth it if she doesn't get it. Anyway, thanks for listening to my tale of woe, back to the lounge for me. PML - I have never washed my hands or the toilets this much..... happy days.
Dory -thank you. Tomorrow is D day for decisions. He has so much damage to his remaining right hindleg. Remains to be see if it is viable. Plus numerous other risks. In honour of Frodo, we have paws crossed tonight.
