Sick Kitty Update 3: A Visit
I decided that after two weeks Play should have a visit. I wasn’t sure how this was going to work out for either of us. Would he be upset, would I be upset? How would each of us cope. I was reassured that the vets and the staff are doing the best they can. The diabetes has impacted the healing of the wound and the infection.
Play was eating when I approached him. He had the appropriate warning on the cage for diabetes. He had an IV drip, a collar as you can see.
I took a deep breath: there was an open wound where his leg once was joined at the hip.
I put his favorite vitamin treat in the cage. He sniffed it and ate it. Then recognition: there is only one person who gives him that treat.
I was allowed to open the cage and I stroked his face, wiped his tearing eye. He began to purr. I petted him for at least fifteen minutes and the purring got stronger. This is what he needs to heal. I am going to visit until he can come home. Love cures all.
He looks so sweet! Purrr kitty….
This is great to see Sooz. He will really start to heal now 🙂
I’m so glad to see the photos where you are touching him, he looks so happier and relaxed, purrrrs and love.
I’m so glad you had this first contact. You’ll help each other heal in time. Love to both of you. <3
