Title: Poor Anastasia
Post by: Teresa Pawcats on June 28, 2007, 17:15:53 PM
Poor Anastasia only recovered from having her ear amputated a few weeks ago, we were warned at the time that the second ear looked suspect;unbelievable today its gone from bad to worse. Shes seeing Andy at 9.50 in the morning and I have been warned to starve her overnight as they will possibly admit her and amputate the ear tomorrow.
Poor little love its so unfair,she`s come such a long way to have to endure so much again; my heart is just breaking for her. Please remember her in your prayers.

Oh no T that's awful news  :( At least she's got you to love her and look after her. I'll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. Got my fingers crossed everything goes well at the vets in the morning. xxxx

Poor Anastasia,

I hope it doesn't cause her too much pain. Poor baby. Was it sunburn related?

Hope you get better quickly poor baby  :ahh:

Yes Mark, the poor girl lived out on the streets for many many months and when we rescued her the first ear was very cancerous, although vet warned second ear was suspect we hoped that it would be ok. It is the speed which this has happened that scares me sick; she is by far the most loving cat here at the Inn and she deserves so much more; it is so unfair.

T,

Thinking of you and Annie tonight and wishing her well tomorrow.  I will bring my extra comfy legs on saturday for her to have another snooze on.  I think she will need cheering up as I know how down she was after the last op.  She is such a gentle girl and deserves a home to match her big heart.

Tell her to be brave and that we will love her just as much even without the other ear.  There is someone for her out there - we just need to find them.

Claire xx

I have Anastasia at the forefront of my thoughts. She does not deserve this and I wish, I wish, that I could have her here forever.

Unable to pray, as you know, I am, instead, sending you a small bit of practical assistance for her tomorrow.

Will be thinking of her today, and I do hope she recovers well and can finally find a wonderful forever home, she looks such a lovely cat. How old does the vet think she is T?
Title: Re: Poor Anastasia
Post by: Teresa Pawcats on June 29, 2007, 10:54:58 AM
As expected Andy has admitted Anastasia and is amputating her second ear today; its not even 4 weeks since he last saw her and he too is alarmed at the speed this has changed.
Des shes only about 7.
I have been saving a very treasured cat collar which belonged to Iris who died on 14-02-06;  I think Iris would want Anastasia to have it, as she wont be going back to a pen but coming into the house.
Will update when I hear more

Post by: Mark on June 29, 2007, 11:30:37 AM
Hoping for the best for her Teresa. I don't suppose a cat is aware of how it looks but I suppose it will affect her hearing?

Does this mean she will be one of your permanent residents? - At least she will be in the right place  :Luv:

Post by: Sabrina (Auferstehen) on June 29, 2007, 11:46:38 AM

Hope she recovers from this as well as she did from the first one.

She looks like such a lovely cat.

Post by: Teresa Pawcats on June 29, 2007, 12:16:58 PM
Andy has just phoned to say that he has removed the ear, he has also decided to wire the old break in her jaw as he says he can feel some movement and hopefully it should help prevent problems at a later date. Shes not awake yet but should be fine for me to pick up later this afternoon.

Well the adorable Anastasia has moved into the house and despite being groggy and unable to eat very well due to the wire in her jaw has serenaded us with her purrs. As always she asks for nothing more than a lap to curl up on. Anastasia has been so let down by the human race and yet her heart is still full of love for people; an amazing lesson to be learnt.

As we will hopefully see some sunshine soon  :rofl: decided to post these pictures just in case anyone is doubtful of the need to apply sunblock to a white eared/tipped cat.

How is beautiful Anastasia today?
Title: Re: Poor Anastasia
Post by: Teresa Pawcats on June 30, 2007, 14:28:52 PM
Not really much change overnight other than the fact that shes less groggy,she`s still struggling to eat with the wired jaw and just picking dry food where she normally prefers wet, her poor chin is quite badly bruised too. Her ear amputation is a lot less swollen and doesnt seem to be bothering her at present.
She seems really happy in the house and the other cats know better than to be unkind to her.
Currently she is rehearsing the part of sleeping beauty.  :)

Anastasia is much brighter this morning and managing to eat her food largely due to the perseverance of Aunty Claire yesterday and all the extra cuddles she is enjoying.  :)

Regretably Anastasia will be available to a very lucky person once she is recovered.

Anastasia is at the vets yet again today, she is having the wire removed from her jaw and stiches taken out of ear,really hoping this is going to be the end of all the treatment as today will be her third GA since we rescued her and the poor love has spent a total of 6 weeks wearing a buster collar.

Post by: Teresa Pawcats on July 20, 2007, 16:50:21 PM
Poor Anastasia has to live with a wobbly jaw, the wire has been removed and the break  hasnt healed, Her stitches have been removed from her ear so at least she is free of the Buster collar. She is very down in the dumps at present and very wide eyed,hopefully she will perk up later. You have to meet her to appreciate what a dear wonderful girl she is and I feel that life has been so cruel to her. If only I had had her with me sooner.

Oh no what a shame about her jaw  :( Will she still be able to eat properly with a wobbly jaw? Give her a gentle cuddle from me xxx

Anastasia is certainly managing to eat with her wobbly jaw in fact the scrawny girl who arrived here has turned into a delightful pudding.
She is happy and enjoying life to the full and is the most loving girl in the world.
