for you and for Lexy.

Well done Lexy, and sounds like she is fairly happy as she hasnt got her claw out yet

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #189 on:** October 10, 2009, 13:47:02 PM »

Lexy is resting in her new pen. She has a gorgeous fluffy blue donut bed and (oh the indignity) a kitten litter tray! She needed more room and she appears to be more relaxed than before.

Surgery is Friday 16th. Then another 6 weeks in the pen. So 10 weeks in total. I get the odd glare, but mostly lots of purrs when I pick her up and hold her for a while. She's happy for that and doens't fight me so all going well I won't be devil incarnate for much longer.

Am thinking of Teresa right now.

Poor Lexy and poor you....If only Lexy knew that her mum is only doing this for her best!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #185 on:** October 09, 2009, 11:44:14 AM »

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww poor Lexy

Sasa had an anesthetic/sedation last year so she could be properly examined and she still hasnt forgiven me

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #184 on:** October 09, 2009, 09:45:48 AM »

It's so upsetting when they are wary of you in that way too

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #183 on:** October 09, 2009, 08:49:22 AM »

everyone.

I'm going to speak to Axa to ensure they have actually received the previous claims. Vet thinks that we can wait a week without major discomfort to Lexy to let her recover a little more from the last one before we put her heart through another GA too soon.

So probably next Friday. I'm booking it in today if I can.

We had a restful night, but Lexy was very wary of me yesterday evening, obviously it all came back to her that I had been one of the people to cause her fright during her examination. She hid from me.

We can only but wait now.

Sending lots of good vibes for Monday and in a way its good she has gone back in her cage cos then it woont be such a shock to have to stay in it again

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #178 on:** October 08, 2009, 17:20:29 PM »

Probably Monday. Other surgeon (not the same one) does Friday's, Mondays and Thursdays so I'm going to aim to get her in Monday. I need her to be seen sooner rather than later. I won't have her in pain which she clearly is again.

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #177 on:** October 08, 2009, 16:20:27 PM »

Oh Ruth I'm just so sorry

Have you got a date for next surgery yet. I feel so down for you both

pappilon · « **Reply #176 on:** October 08, 2009, 12:44:03 PM »

Oh sweetheart, i am sorry.

I am here if you need any help.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #175 on:** October 08, 2009, 11:17:39 AM »

Oh Ruth.

I really hope she doesn't have to go through any more surgery for this after this time.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #174 on:** October 08, 2009, 09:40:27 AM »

Just topping up the feel good vibes for Lexy and you Ruth

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #173 on:** October 08, 2009, 09:27:47 AM »

everyone,

Yes it is Leanne. Rebuilding it once and now twice.

Lexy was so docile this morning. Despite the surgery not working I have still left her in her pen as I don't want her to cause more damage before her surgery. She ate and then just limbered back into the pen without me asking.

Leanne · « **Reply #172 on:** October 08, 2009, 09:25:09 AM »

Oh no poor Lexy and poor you

Is it her cruicate legiment?

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #171 on:** October 08, 2009, 07:49:47 AM »

Ruth - am sending big hugs for you and gentle snuzzles for the Faberlush Lady Lexy.

Paddy is devastated, he says his "Mastur Plan" dunt work. (Dont tell Lexy but he thought if he didn't encourage her escape efforts she might take things easy

) I see he's "tooning in" now, so you know we all have everything crossed for the surgery. Chin up, petal.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #170 on:** October 08, 2009, 02:25:33 AM »

Oh no! I cant believe your both gonna be back to square one! Sorry Kitty.....Head rubs for Lexy!

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #169 on:** October 07, 2009, 22:52:50 PM »

Sorry to hear this Ruth

Sorry Ruth

sending lots of positive vibes from us and the furry four

Mark · « **Reply #167 on:** October 07, 2009, 21:49:46 PM »

Sorry Ruth, At least she has another chance. Not nice but it really is a case of having to be cruel to be kind. At least she isn't going to be stuck in a cage when it's nice outside

AliCat · « **Reply #166 on:** October 07, 2009, 21:28:49 PM »

for you and

for Lexy. I'm sorry to hear it didn't work.

Sorry it didn't all go to plan Ruth for you and Lexy but now you have to think positively and start learning how to be the Commandant in your new prision block!

Can't you come over and do it for me please, Liz? I need willpower.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #164 on:** October 07, 2009, 19:34:27 PM »

Oh No! Really sorry to hear that

Did they say how long the recovery period would be after the next op?

Dawn F · « **Reply #157 on:** October 07, 2009, 16:57:20 PM »

Ruth so very hard for you and Lexy, just wish I could do or say something to help

sending all the positive vibes I can muster to you both

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #154 on:** October 07, 2009, 16:48:47 PM »

Unfortunately its bad news. The surgery failed. Or something happened after that caused the ligament structure to break down. The knee is unstable which explains the uneven gait that Lexy has had this week. It means another surgery to repair and then complete pen rest, no time outs as advised before to exercise the knee. We had to sedate Lexy again so she's sleeping it off in her pen. It's cheaper for me to buy my own pen then rent this one out weekly so this weekend I'll get my own and take this one back to the vet. I'll keep the pen for a while and then donate it to a rescue. Probably not the things to be thinking of but am trying not to focus on the fact that Lexy will once again, as the cold weather starts to set in, be confined. I know cats can do it, and have done, look at Monica and Puma.

I just don't understand when she had her other knee surgeries to tighten the ligaments, she wasn't required to be confined and she recovered perfectly fine. Now with tearing her ligament, with similar sutures inside her knee, she has to be confined and does her very best to escape at any given time and has no doubt stretched too far and probably broken down the sutures.

I'm so upset. I'll know tomorrow when the next surgery will happen.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #153 on:** October 03, 2009, 22:15:48 PM »

home and am sure Lexy has missed you deep in her heart cos she told Sasa

However I bet she is working out ways of making you pay

Bazsmum · « **Reply #152 on:** October 03, 2009, 20:52:44 PM »

Glad your home safe with darling Lexy....Sounds like she has been a brilliant patient for her aunt!
