Title: Lilycat's had her op
Post by: lilycat on November 19, 2007, 21:06:09 PM
Lily had the operation to remove her teeth this afternoon...they actually took out 9 including all of her cheek teeth, they did a biopsy of the lesions in her mouth [just to rule out anything cancerous], and they fitted her with a NG Tube which was stapled in place on her head!

When I went to visit her this evening she was a bit woozy but I got her purring and she was SO desperate for a fuss  :Luv: the only trouble was that I wanted to bring her home and look after her - I guess I'll get to do that as soon as she starts eating on her own. I did try to get her to eat something but she was more interested in fusses.

She was purring, then having a bit of a grumble, then purring again  :Luv:  :Luv:  :Luv:

Thanks for all your good wishes, hopefully she'll be home soon  :thanks:

Its a good sign that she wants fusses and hope you will be visiting again soon, cos it does help em to recover.

Hope all the tests come back clear   :hug:

So glad she's OK - really hope this sorts her issues out.  Has she still got to stay in for 5 days?  I know it will seem like forever but just think, this time next wek she'll ba back home where she belongs  :hug:

Great to hear she has done so well.  Poor girl having 9 teeth out, it's bad enough when you have one out.  Hope she continues to improve.

Oh that's great she came through it ok - I'm sure a fuss from her fav human has done her the world of good. Will be keeping everything crossed for the test results, and everyone here is sending her cuddles and kitty-kisses.

Lily came home this evening  :cheer:

I rang the vet today to see how she'd been overnight and they said I could go and pick her up  :wow: the vet told me that they would certainly have kept her for longer but that she'd made it perfectly clear that she wanted to go home  :) as she'd managed to eat some dinner last night and some lunch today!

Went and picked her up at 6.30 and she hasn't stopped purring and headbutting me since :Luv: at the mo she's cuddled up against my leg, purring her head off  ;D

She'll be spending tonight [and possibly tomorrow night] up here with me, her litter tray's here plus her mushy food, some water...and not forgetting her fleecy hammock!

You will probably be finding that Lilycat will come along in leaps and bounds now that the teeth are out.  I remember when Cleo had her teeth out, I do not know how many came out but there were just three left in - once she came home it was like I had a different cat.
