Sick Kitty Update 6: 11-15-13:Touching
Play went to the vet three weeks ago on October 25th. The following Tuesday his right hind leg was amputated. Healing has been hampered by diabetes. The first week there was virtually no healing due to constant draining. Bandages were since removed to let the air help. There is now a huge scab.
Play sits by the cool wall. Yesterday there was no IV; because of the way he sits, it was not functioning properly. He had just had an eye medication administered.
He purred when he was touched, is more responsive to the staff and meowed when I talked to him. When he heard me talking to his cronies across the room, he called me back.
And so:
Resting
Recognition
waiting for a treat
Purring
Purring
Purring
Purring
Extends paw: touching
Contact!
The little recovering homeless kitties across the room wanted attention, too.
Good news!
Did the vet say when he can come home yet?
I am so happy that Play is improving. I hope he keeps up the good work!
Little paw steps forward. Keep going, Play. You can do it!
Oh, those little irresistible friends and neighbors of Play’s!
The power of love….and touch….and trust….your presence is playing a big role in Play’s healing. Think how it lifts his heart. Get well soon, little guy!
