I'm so pleased that he's blossoming, bless his little heart.

Sounds scrummy

Little Bob is just fine

He has been no trouble whatsoever and has got his paws firmly under the table

He's one of those cats that just melts your heart and I still can't get over how diddy he is

I will try and take some more piccies of him later

How's little Bob doing today Dawn?

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #71 on:** April 09, 2008, 12:15:55 PM »

I don't know what you're talking about

LesleyW · « **Reply #70 on:** April 09, 2008, 12:04:32 PM »

Are you having this effect on men alot lately?

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #69 on:** April 09, 2008, 12:00:48 PM »

He is a rude little monkey but I suppose in a way, it shows how happy he is to be at his Aunty Dawn's

I have to say Bob is one of the most gorgeous loving cats I have come across He really is a sweetheart and extremely loving, I really can't believe someone had allowed him to get into the state he was in He is sooooo tiny as well, I don't think there's much difference between him and Emily and Emily is minute for his age. He's coped brilliantly with the surgery and I've had no hissing or spitting, he absolutely adores having tummy tickles but these have to be limited as he does get rather excited and exposes himself I will get some more piccies of him and keep you posted

You have a flasher in the house.

Ahh bless him ... sending a big tummy tickle from me and lots of kitty kisses from the gang.

And from me too

Awwww, give him a tummy tickle from me later

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #61 on:** April 04, 2008, 15:42:33 PM »

Little Bob can come home, I'm going to pick him up shortly

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #60 on:** April 04, 2008, 01:29:03 AM »

This little man is still in the vets

Sean said there was still a little packing in there and hopefully tomorrow he will come home

The good thing is he isn't stressed in there but I'm hoping they give him a reduced rate for his length of stay as he's now been in a week

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #59 on:** April 02, 2008, 22:25:37 PM »

Nope

Sean pulled a little more packing out whilst I was there this evening and there's still some left. Hopefully tomorrow will be the last day in there for him, if not, he will definitely be coming home Friday

I had a few minutes with him earlier anyway and he is fine, he's so well behaved in there bless him

gibraltarcat · « **Reply #58 on:** April 02, 2008, 20:30:10 PM »

Is he home, Dawn?

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #57 on:** April 01, 2008, 18:56:26 PM »

Bob still has more packing to come out of his eye so I have to pick him up tomorrow now

He did roll over for tummy tickles though so he seems quite happy

gibraltarcat · « **Reply #56 on:** April 01, 2008, 16:58:07 PM »

Lots of tummy tickles for all three of them, from me

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #55 on:** April 01, 2008, 16:42:14 PM »

He's not home yet, they wanted to keep him in til this evening so I'll be picking him up shortly with Becky and Phoebe, just hope I have enough room in my car

gibraltarcat · « **Reply #54 on:** April 01, 2008, 16:07:18 PM »

Hope Bob is enjoying being back home and recovering well

That's great news Dawn

Please give Captain Bob gentle cuddles from me

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #51 on:** March 31, 2008, 19:51:57 PM »

This gorgeous little man will be coming home in the morning after I've dropped Becky and Phoebe off

Glad Captain Bob (blame JS) is doing well

I like it!

Me too

The pic was taken the night before he went to the vets, hopefully he will forgive me when I bring him home and he'll allow me to give him more tummy tickles

Good to hear that Bob is doing well, bless him.

I do like the name Bob, I lost my gorgeous little Bob and it will be nice to have another cat named in his honour

JackSpratt · « **Reply #43 on:** March 28, 2008, 22:44:04 PM »

Bob? Well, I guess it'll be easier for him to learn than Captain. (Which of course, he'll still be called in my head. I'm quite stubborn!)

Glad he's doing well, he looks a great little character.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #42 on:** March 28, 2008, 22:35:09 PM »

I've been to see this little guy this evening and he's fine

Sean said he was really good when they removed some of the packing, hopefully he come home early next week but I know he'll be safe in Sean's care over the weekend

Heidi the vet nurse has decided to call him Bob which I quite like for him really, so Bob it is

Regards to point one this in no way suggests this boy has been neglected by his current carer.The damage was done while he was living out.

I think it's more than likely he was a stray, he was in such a mess bless him and covered in ticks

Regards to packing the eye, I would say the other surgery I use is old fashioned, Sean did his first eye op there which was on Morris and every eye op he does, he puts packing in.

This little guy is fine anyway, Sean said the op went well but he's an older cat and he said ideally one his teeth wants removing but because of everything he's been through today, he didn't want to leave him open to infection so the tooth will probably have to be done at a later date.

gibraltarcat · « **Reply #40 on:** March 27, 2008, 17:33:25 PM »

Bless his little heart.

I'm so hoping he isn't too uncomfy and that it all heals up well

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #39 on:** March 27, 2008, 17:24:17 PM »

The modern way is to pack using a gel which is absorbed by the animal: packing as such which needs removal is done for one of two reasons:
1-the eye has been left untreated for too long and damage/infection behind the eye is severe.
2- the vet is very old fashioned.

My mum's dog had her eye removed last week, and there was no packing with that either thank god (I know who would have got that job!!).

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #37 on:** March 27, 2008, 16:16:44 PM »

Trevor the other vet did an eye op for me a while ago, he didn't use packing but Sean and the other vets I've dealt with do, I'm not sure what the reasoning behind it is, unless it's to keep the shape. The packing has to be pulled out bit by bit each day, I really haven't got the stomach for it and I worry about hurting them, Sean said this little one can stay in for a few days and they'll remove it

ClaireR · « **Reply #36 on:** March 27, 2008, 16:08:42 PM »

Just caught up with this - what a handsome boy.

It may be my ignorance Dawn (and probably is), but do all eye removals need packing? I know I have now seen two at Paws Inn and neither of them had packing? The eye was just removed and stitched up. Does it just depend on the vet? I would have thought it would also be really uncomfortable for the cat too.

Wishing this little guy lots of luck. I am sure he will feel much better when it is all over.
