Recipe for Delayed Healing Start with one precocious and agile cat Add one routine spay operation Add one misunderstood instruction between Vet and Technician (i.e. no recovery collar) Mix thoroughly Return to vet Add one soft recovery collar Add 3 staples Add 2 daily doses of amoxicillin Mix thoroughly Return to vet Remove soft recovery collar Add hard recovery collar Remove staples Add 2 new staples Mix thoroughly Return to vet Remove dangling staples Add 2 daily administrations of Neosporin Shake head at unrepentant cat To Be Continued... (The vet told me she's never seen anything like this and sternly told Rotella it was not something to be proud of. I take her back next Monday to check and be sure she hasn't become infected. Hopefully the collar can come off then. The picture is of me assisting the little scamp with her evening meal, and was taken by my son, James. She can manage the dry food with some difficulty. I help her with the canned so she'll eat a bit more. She drinks water out of a large bowl by putting a substantial amount of the collar in the water. Inevitably she follows that by a trip to the litter box where she sniffs and inspects everything. So her trip to the box is followed by me towel wrapping her, and cleaning the hard collar. She also tries to nuzzle up to me so I get bopped in the face regularly. Ah, the joys being owned by a cat!) Thanks for viewing and for previous comments and favs!
