Ohhh... what a scare she gave you! Hope she hasn't been in pain, but then again they often won't show it will they? Did they give her a nice sturdy embroidery job that won't come loose?
I remember our vet used the soluble stitches on Tatja, but she still managed to pull some out before everything had properly dissolved and she had a nasty red patch on her belly. Luckily she didn't need additional stitches.
Such naughty torties they are!

Hope she's ok and behaving herself now - what a scare! I keep hearing about 'naughty torties' and wondering why I didn't find that out before getting our 2 tortie girls - I too have 'threatened' them with going back to the breeder (I'll even pay) - doesn't seem to make a difference - do you think they think I'm joking

They think you are joking but....!
Blimey two nortie torties is a bit like giving yourself a "sentence" but oh what fun,my little tortie has now reacted to the suture material so has a great big lump there now,I phoned work to see if it was ok to leave her until her post op tomorrow & when boss said is she happy I put her near the phone,purr,purr & more purrs,think she told him I feel fine thank you its only mum who keeps getting worried,have warned her gran today though that perhaps I would like to exchange her for a red girl in the latest litter....
Wouldn't really my little tortie is going nowhere,nortie or not.

She had double sub cut suturing & then skin glue as well second time round think thats why she has shown signs of reaction but things looking ok this AM & if I make sure right cat takes ab's hopefully when she sees the boss tonight she will get a pass...!

One absolute neurotic mother here,two more visits to work last one tea time yesterday when I looked at her tum & found it was larger & lumpier than ever & she didn't want to play,sure she had herniated but no only reacting even stronger to the sutures in the muscle layer,think the boss is getting as twitchy as me I am sure he dreads it when he sees my name pop up on the extras list,but as he always says to clients post ops are free any worries just bring them back for me to check so have made appts in advance for Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday.........no only joking but Ruby Ruby what are you doing to me.....!

Oh dear Ruby - what are you doing to your poor ole Mum ... thanks heavens it's a reaction as opposed to a hernia

Hugs and purrs from the furries to you Ruby, hope you feel loads better very soon xx

Owww... it never rains but it pours doesn't it? Keeping my fingers crossed!

**jckkerrison** · 25th April 2012, 01:48 PM

Reaction all gone,tummy flat,hair growing back { & I don't just mean Ruby's,hair that is not flat tum}....
Although she is now 7 months & weighing a moderate 4.40kg/9.70lbs she still has to have her evening ear wash done by bruv Shims but she is allowed to become mummys little helper in the mornings,even if I intend to get the vacuum cleaner into their room I have to "brush"up first just for her to do her bit....
