All safe & sound

Good to get the update, Rach. Poor little Gracie - is it difficult with her stitches with Monty about? I'd imagine it's a good sign that she's up for a bit of wrestling though, might mean she's feeling better in herself. Not great with the stitches obviously, but a good sign all the same. Sounds like the antibiotics are having an effect - will be thinking of her and hope she's back to her old self soon x

Thanks Karen, Howlin and Antonia!

It's not too bad with her stitches and the Monster as she's pretty good at batting him away if he's being a bit too boisterous - we've had to have a few "time out" moments but on the whole it's been a lot better than expected. Anyway, I've no doubt she'll be getting her own back when he has his nads removed in a few months :-D

She's been a lot brighter so far this afternoon/evening. Got her tablet down her without a fight and she's currently purring away whilst grooming herself so fingers crossed she's on the up x

You know if they did damage her throat, antibiotics would be used too. It depends on the extent of the damage and how long it takes her to heal. If it wasn't too bad, then that should do it.

Let's hope so! Thanks Candes x

Sounds encouraging... fingers are still crossed. Give her a cuddle from me.:smile:

Sounds as if Gracie is on the mend bless her,I think she was still brewing something & the GA didn't help,would still like to know if they checked her temperature before admitting her,all of ours come through with their parents for a good check over before their op & slightest raise in temp.even if they seem bright they are sent home to wait for a couple of weeks.If everything is ok the vet waves their paw to parents before whisking them off to their hospital bed.....
Fingers crossed that the progress is kept up x

Thanks JCK, not sure if Gracie's temperature was taken before the op, unfortunately I was unable to drop her off at the vets myself as I had to be at work so hubby did the honours. No real way of knowing unfortunately although when I dropped of my previous kitty (RIP) for an op to remove his tumour he was just whisked away. I want to come to your practice, I love the mental image of the vet waving their paws to the owners - that's so cute!

Just to let you all know, Gracie does seem so much better today and I hope I'm not tempting fate, but I haven't heard her cough at all since I've been home - must have been all those good luck wishes and virtual cuddles from you guys, thanks so much :smile:

All sounding better & better for Gracie,keep us posted.
I wish you could come to our practice,perhaps we could turn it into one for just MC's,I have to admit it is one time when its great being a small concern because even if I say so myself it is a pretty friendly place....
