Just heard from surgeon. They're going to restitch and try to work out the best way to do internal stitches on a wound that has been cut twice, as well as externals. She'll have a dressing. Its only that Lexy hurts herself trying to get out of a buster collar that she can't wear one. So we'll take it all into consideration. They'll let me know how she's doing in a little while after the procedure. All going well I'll take her home tonight.

She ate (or licked off) 3 stitches...

Keeping fingers and toes crossed that she's home with you tonight hun

the boys for me Helen.

I hope so too, Rosella, I can't bear another night without her home.

Hope Lexy and you are back together by this evening Ruth and no more set backs prevent a quick recovery for our girl

Oh Ruth

I thought she'd be home by now, didn't realise there were complications - sending her the largest magical healing headkiss the boys can muster

Urgh. Bet this is dragging for the both of you. Sending you lots of hugs and hoping Lexy is coping without you.

Oh!

I bet she is as fed up as you Kitty hun.....Thinking of you both!

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #294 on:** October 21, 2009, 15:58:50 PM »

Irrigation took place, but they need to let it settle before they suture it up so that will be done tomorrow morning under mild sedation. That means one more night.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #293 on:** October 21, 2009, 12:53:08 PM »

Oh Ruth

You must be wondering when it will all get sorted. If only we could explain to them...

Leanne · « **Reply #292 on:** October 21, 2009, 10:32:05 AM »

Oh no what a blow to you both.

Hope Lexy gets home today

and hope you're feeling better too

Dawn F · « **Reply #291 on:** October 21, 2009, 10:11:35 AM »

hope Lexy is ok, at least she is being watched carefully

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #290 on:** October 21, 2009, 10:09:29 AM »

Hope Lexys wound has settled down again and she will be home with you again soon

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #289 on:** October 21, 2009, 09:03:59 AM »

Best of good vibes for Lexy today Ruth

Aw hunnie, sending you a massive

Hopefully Lexy has had a good night, and you won't have too long to wait to find out how she's getting on xxx

Janeyk · « **Reply #287 on:** October 21, 2009, 07:59:18 AM »

Sorry you're going through all this, let's hope that things are more positive from now onwards

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #286 on:** October 21, 2009, 07:47:22 AM »

It was a lonely night, have to say. And this morning, went into a panic on the way into work thinking I'd forgotten to feed Lexy

I'm hoping for good news today all around.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #285 on:** October 21, 2009, 06:58:24 AM »

Oh Ruth. Just caught up with this. You must be feeling so down.

It's so worrying with our little 'uns, because they can't talk about what's going on, and cats are so darn good at "being stoic" but am hoping after today, they'll be able to get this sorted out once and for all.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #284 on:** October 21, 2009, 03:02:17 AM »

Oh heck! Sorry this has happened Kitty, what a total mare for you and darling Lexy....Bless her as she was being so good too!

JackSpratt · « **Reply #283 on:** October 20, 2009, 23:49:54 PM »

Really hope poor Lexy can come home soon.

to you.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #282 on:** October 20, 2009, 23:26:12 PM »

Yes she is in the right place and hopefully will heal quickly if its not ummmm touched

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #281 on:** October 20, 2009, 23:23:20 PM »

It's hit and miss, Gill. Unfortunately due to the location and the requirement that she does move and walk around it can happen. She most likely will have a collar, even though she's never needed one before. It's just because the area has been cut twice in 3 weeks, so it's weaker.

I'm just tired. I'm not freaking out (yet). Lexy is comfortable and is the best care right now.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #280 on:** October 20, 2009, 23:16:10 PM »

Oh Ruth this is so sad and must be so stressful for you and Lexy.

Surely this should not be happening unless Lexy got the stitches in which case, perish the thought she should have a collar

Have they explained why this is happening cos I would be so worried now

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #279 on:** October 20, 2009, 23:15:59 PM »

Oh Ruth

So very sorry the two of you are having to go through all this.

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #278 on:** October 20, 2009, 23:08:02 PM »

Lexy stayed overnight. Night vet was the one who treated her each night since her last surgery so he's familiar with the surgery.

The site where it was oozing had opened and he could see a hole which needs irrigation to prevent infection. She'll be comfortable tonight. They have to wait for morning to treat as she ate at 7pm and they have to wait to be able to put her under GA again.

so here we go again

Just got home and am pretty tired now. Feel like cr*p, thankfully not as cold out tonight as last night so hopefully I'll be well enough by tomorrow to go to work and focus elsewhere.

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #277 on:** October 20, 2009, 21:38:03 PM »

Oh Ruth. Hope vet sorts Lexy easily and she can come back home with you tonight.

Hope you feel better soon too. Poor you

bunglycat · « **Reply #276 on:** October 20, 2009, 21:35:33 PM »

Oh no !!!
Hope its okay - has she eaten the stitches !?

Janeyk · « **Reply #275 on:** October 20, 2009, 21:34:23 PM »

oh dear

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #274 on:** October 20, 2009, 21:33:05 PM »

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I hope its OK Ruth good luck

I guess Lexy must have eaten the stitches........sigh

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #273 on:** October 20, 2009, 21:31:32 PM »

Wound is open, going to vet now.
