Glad Holly's doing well. She does look a lovely little girl.

Poor Holly and she is so gorgeous, I hope that she will be happy and pain free for as long as possible

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #55 on:** January 26, 2008, 22:26:16 PM »

Ah bless the little sweetheart may she have this good quality of life and happiness for a long time to come.

I took Holly in to see her Uncle Sean the other day for a check over. She's doing really well, he can still see the stalk of one of the tumours in her ear but there's no infection which is good news. He said with Melonoma's, they are an aggressive cancer so for rehoming purposes it may be better if need be to get her a foster home rather than a forever home. He really can't say how long she has got, she hasn't gained any weight since I've had her but he said it's possible she will have cancer elsewhere in her body. I will just have to keep an eye on her and have regular checks done on her ears but at the moment she is eating well, is happy and loveable and has even started having the odd meow at me

Really hope Holly keeps on making good progress

JackSpratt · « **Reply #52 on:** January 17, 2008, 21:47:44 PM »

Glad Holly's on the mend.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #51 on:** January 17, 2008, 20:56:01 PM »

Glad she is home and seems happy.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #50 on:** January 17, 2008, 18:33:50 PM »

Holly's now home and she seems pretty comfortable. She had a painkilling injection and some antibiotics and Sean said the ears were horrible. The masses she had were in her left ear, they were very deep down into the ear canal and had pus surrounding them

Both ears have melanoma's and there was a lot of bleeding during the op but in herself she seems fine

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #49 on:** January 17, 2008, 15:06:06 PM »

Ah poor old Holly she has had such a time of it. Let's hope what time she has left is lengthy and that she can have a comfortable happy life.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #48 on:** January 17, 2008, 14:58:49 PM »

Sean's just rang and Holly's fine. He's removed 2 tumours from her ear but she has a few small Melonoma's as well. He thinks the tumours will reappear at some stage and he doesn't really think she's destined to be on earth for a long time

She's an old cat and hardly has any teeth, and she's had to have one rotten one removed today. Her ears have been cleaned and basically it's a case of wait and see, she has to go back in a week for a check up.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #47 on:** January 16, 2008, 21:12:04 PM »

Awww, no. Good luck Holly. Hope your ears are sorted soon.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #46 on:** January 16, 2008, 19:57:35 PM »

I know, it's just so depressing when things go wrong for them

Sean said he can't even see down one ear, and I'm again peed off with the other vet because when I picked Holly up after the RTA, the vet gave her no drops, just the antibiotics

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #45 on:** January 16, 2008, 19:52:22 PM »

Poor girl. Hope it goes well for her tomorrow, she has had a bad enough time as it is.

Mark · « **Reply #44 on:** January 16, 2008, 19:42:53 PM »

Hope she's OK DD

Poor little girl

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #43 on:** January 16, 2008, 19:17:19 PM »

I've taken Holly back to the vets today for Sean to check her ears as I'm still not convinced she can hear properly. It looks like she's got lots of little tumours forming in her ears

He didn't even check her properly and her ear was bleeding straight away so I'm not sure what this will mean for her. He's got her booked in for tomorrow but it's not definite he will have time as they are chocca, he's going to attempt to blast the tumours and have a good look to see what's going on. Keep your fingers crossed for her, she is a little babe and I just hope she won't be in too much pain afterwards

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #42 on:** January 03, 2008, 15:58:45 PM »

DD she's an absolute scrum bum

, she's a total poppet give her a

from me & mine xxxxx

Evil

that just looked at her and then drove off, the sooner they get what's owed to them the better evil swine.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #41 on:** January 03, 2008, 11:55:46 AM »

Big cuddles to Holly.

She's a lovely lady - and what a trooper.

berties mum · « **Reply #40 on:** January 02, 2008, 22:12:50 PM »

Holly is beautiful - she reminds me of my Minnie. I hope her owner turns up soon

I know what you mean Lisa, hitting an animal is one of my worst nightmares. My mother hit a dog once - nothing she could do, it ran straight out in front of her - and she was mortified, but luckily it wasn't badly hurt

Cheesecat · « **Reply #39 on:** January 02, 2008, 20:10:40 PM »

Awwww Holly is gorgeous - I hope her hearing returns

gibraltarcat · « **Reply #38 on:** January 02, 2008, 19:33:51 PM »

Sending gentle headbutts to Holly.
She's bootiful

Thank you for all you've done and are doing for her Dawn.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #37 on:** January 02, 2008, 17:16:23 PM »

Bless her she is absolutely beautiful. What a lucky girl to have you to look out for her.

lisa77 · « **Reply #36 on:** January 02, 2008, 15:15:19 PM »

Dya know it really really really amazes me how cruel & wicked some people are

If someone lay him/her infront of my car & said ok go for it.. I would very happily run over them.. as slow as possible too

Ive been very lucky & never hit anything.. if I did It would haunt me forever.. things have ran out & I swerve or slow right down & have neally caused accidents (& been sworn at by everyone) but its just natural reaction...I cant help it..

Hope the poor thing finds its owners

Dawn F · « **Reply #35 on:** January 02, 2008, 15:11:18 PM »

poor little girl, I hope an owner comes forward soon - I hit a pheasant the week before chirstmas and i'm still thinking about it

Mark · « **Reply #34 on:** January 02, 2008, 15:11:05 PM »

She's gorgeous Dawn, bet you will find her hard to part with

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #33 on:** January 02, 2008, 15:07:02 PM »

I've christened this little lady Holly and she is gorgeous. I'm a little concerned about her ears as she doesn't seem to be able to hear, this could be due to the bang on her head so I'll have to get her back in for a checkover.

Great news Dawn - If it wasn't for you and the lady that phoned you, who know what would have happened to her?

JackSpratt · « **Reply #31 on:** December 29, 2007, 20:52:05 PM »

Grrrr.....people like that make my blood boil. How dare they think it's acceptable to just leave an animal to suffer in that way?

Glad the little one is doing well, DD.

berties mum · « **Reply #30 on:** December 29, 2007, 20:41:04 PM »

When my Matilda was knocked down, it was witnessed by two ladies in the car behind the one that hit her. They said Matilda rolled in front of the car, towards the kerb, and the car slowed down, the passenger door opened and someone looked out, and then they just drove away

The two ladies stopped and rang me from the number on Matilda's collar - they could tell her neck was broken and she was already gone as soon as they moved her, but the people who hit her couldn't have known that, and didn't stop. It haunts me still

Glad this little girl is doing okay

unseeliechylde · « **Reply #29 on:** December 29, 2007, 20:33:59 PM »

That's great news that the little one is doing well - bless you, Dawn, for taking her in and nursing her, and to the lovely lady who was kind enough to stop and get her to safety. I totally agree with all sentiments already expressed about the driver in question

Thank goodness there are kind people in the world - hope she continues to recover well, and that someone comes forward to welcome her home.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #28 on:** December 29, 2007, 20:14:26 PM »

Great news

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #27 on:** December 29, 2007, 20:05:39 PM »

She's doing really well now and eating properly on her own. I'll post some piccies of her later

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #26 on:** December 29, 2007, 17:54:24 PM »

How is she getting along Dawn?

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #25 on:** December 25, 2007, 16:12:49 PM »

No microchip

I asked at the houses near work but it's possible she's come from the council estate which is directly at the top of the woods, I'll put a few posters up and see what happens.

Yvonne · « **Reply #24 on:** December 25, 2007, 16:10:58 PM »

Good luck with this little lady - I hope that she makes a fully recovery. No microchip I suppose?

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #23 on:** December 25, 2007, 15:52:21 PM »

Nothing as yet BC, I'm going to put a notice in the vets when they open again. She has got a lovely nature on her although a little timid which is to be expected really.

blackcat · « **Reply #22 on:** December 25, 2007, 15:49:20 PM »

Oh good news Dawn - any word of her owner yet?

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #21 on:** December 25, 2007, 15:43:11 PM »

This little lady seems to be okay although she's not eating on her own yet so I've had to syringe feed her. She's on painkillers and antibiotics and hopefully should be right as rain in a few days. I'll take some piccies of her later

chris91011 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 24, 2007, 22:23:41 PM »

Awww, i hope she is ok.
and as for that driver!

Chris.

sheryl · « **Reply #19 on:** December 24, 2007, 15:41:30 PM »

Thank goodnes that someone helped the little one. How do people sleep at night after hurting a defensless animal and just driving off

Totally agree with the Karma.

Fingers crossed that she makes a full recovery, Im sure she will with your TLD Dawn xx

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #18 on:** December 24, 2007, 02:50:51 AM »

I think she'll be okay, I was worried about her bleeding from her ears and one pupil was dilated but she seems really bright. The vet said she'd been out of her cage today and seemed quite lively. Once she's been sedated tomorrow she'll have her op and they'll check her over properly. I asked the vet to do x rays on her but with what's happened with Jasmine, I don't know if they've been done. I've just completely lost faith in vets today, I rang the other vets on Friday about Jasmine and it was the vet I won't deal with on but in hindsight, I'm wondering if she would have got the better deal going there. I'm phoning them in the morning anyway to see how she is so I'll update then
