Glad to hear that the staples are finally out and things getting back to normal, hope Lexy's tum is soon sorted too

Bazsmum · « **Reply #509 on:** November 10, 2009, 02:41:42 AM »

Happy to hear her staples are out and her collar is off, she will feel like a new woman Im sure! Bet you two are so contented and long may it last!

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #508 on:** November 09, 2009, 22:39:12 PM »

So pleased for you both returning to some form of normality

.

Hope Lexy's tummy feels better very soon.

Was going to ask about the latest plan but think for now it's enough to concentrate on enjoying cuddling time

Wonderful and I am sure she is so happy

I was amazed at staples cos Kocka had about 10 of them after having a lump removed from her side, no collar and they came out without a wince even

I keep a few tins of Hills i/d in and give to anyone that has upset tummy -mainly Smartie .
Hope Lexy feels better soon

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #505 on:** November 09, 2009, 20:00:46 PM »

We're back. Staples came out, no collar!!

I'm giving Lexy Pro-Kolin which is a probiotic so it should settle her tummy. She's currntly munching her chicken and will no doubt go for a wash in a minute.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #504 on:** November 09, 2009, 17:58:34 PM »

Oh thats sad cos it works so well, I hope they know something that will help her tum

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #503 on:** November 09, 2009, 16:37:50 PM »

Thanks.

Lexy can't take Lacto B, Gill, so that's not an option. I will, however, ask vet about other remedies that will settle her down.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #502 on:** November 09, 2009, 15:29:07 PM »

Aw bless her, this is not lady Lexy, she must be sooo

Sending big vibes for her collar to be off tonight plus the very best news possible!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #501 on:** November 09, 2009, 14:52:44 PM »

Good luck at vets and sounds she needs Lacto B immediately

Loads more vibes coming to Lexy xx

Sending lots of good vibes to Lexy for tonight.

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #498 on:** November 09, 2009, 11:09:03 AM »

Thank you.

We had a small accident this morning, stupid collar kept knocking her over so she had to get into tray a little at an angle. Being the mum I am I moved her into position. Sadly after she had a splodgy poop she lost her balance and sat in it...

So I was cleaning Lexy up, much to her consternation!

Vet visit tonight, I want this collar off now so my baby can have some dignity.

She's getting brave. Sits up like a meerkat to get my attention. Its so cute.

I now have a pic of lexy and Aunty T doing exercises together and seeing who can walk best first

Oh dear... now i have that image too!

We've had a good day today. I spent a good portion of it out and Lexy took all her meds. She wasn't keen last night, but I managed to get the Flagyl into her. She wasn't keen on other meds in treats.

Today madam had a good breakfast and then spent a lovely day snoozing in her bed.

We had another piddle accident, but I saw it happen so bed went straight into washing machine.

I bought her another square "donut" bed today, so I at least have one in use, one in wash and one drying. Blankets only last so long with Lexy before she trashes them

My sister came over for a quick snack after being out today with me, Lexy had a cuddle and now is washing her belly.

One thing I have noticed is that with the amount of strength she has to muster getting up each time, her tail is becoming nice and thick at the base, where it was thin before. Love thick tails

Hope you and Lexy are having a nice quiet evening and hope things improve for both of you

Lexy my sweet claw, Aunty T is gonna tell youz big secrets an it will make you laugh but will give you hope for quick recovery, them antibiotics were so bad that poot aunty t ad a nappy put on her for over a week in hospital cos everything went splat but her tummy is gud now so dont worry your tummy will soon get there, as for learning to walk aunty t still struggling badly too, so we take it slowly and carefully and we get there safely together.These fings take time

Poor little Lexy Where did you get the flectabed, Ruth (you may have said already, but if so, I missed it)?

I got it at Pets At Home in the Dog section, Christine. There are cheaper online but I was there getting litter and thought it would be a nice rest pad for Lexy.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #487 on:** November 07, 2009, 13:52:34 PM »

Aw bless her, Im sure it will be the abs that have gave her an upset tum!

She looks adorable on her bed in front of the radiator!

Thinking of you both!

poor girl, you can see she's been through the mill with her leg, bless her. Hope that things improve now onwards

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #484 on:** November 07, 2009, 11:27:14 AM »

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww Lexy you are looking as beautiful as ever and hope that you are able to walk soon

I am sure it will be the abs that are doing her tummy in Ruth and worth starting her on Lacto B, it can be used when they are still on Abs and Franta had it all the time he was last on marbocyl and he was much better tummywuse than the last time and he is now completely firm and off it after 6-7 months.

I hope what ever they do next will sort Lexy out but reckon it may be still a while before she can walk properly cos she will have a lot of muscle wastage

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #483 on:** November 07, 2009, 10:42:05 AM »

Lexy had a quieter night. She's had diarrhoea since she got home, we've now moved onto grilled chicken and a few loads of laundry to clean bedding.

Thankfully I have a vet bed that I had put into her pen last night as Lexy had a bit of an piddle accident on it. What a relief it was to have that as I hadn't noticed until after I had cooked our dinner. She's been pretty good as her poop has been done consistently in her tray so I could monitor it.

We had a little more this morning, and I had to encourage her to eat so she could take her meds. Thankfully this time round the poop was a small one so she didn't try to clean up in her bed and I caught it just after it happened. She tends to call for me if she needs a clean up..... now isn't that just like a princess

I spoke to surgeon yesterday about her instability and falling over. He said she won't make the leg worse at all. For now he wants to wait until the antibiotic regime is over (Monday) and then we book her in for her next surgery Monday 16th. It is heartbreaking seeing her try to walk. She manages a little and then she gets too tired so starts to flop over. She's spending a lot of time cleaning, so I guess that's normal after the collar being on for so long she can't clean as normal.

I've kept the collar on her only when I can't be with her in the room. So for the most part she's ok, just a little frustrated during the week. Next week, no collar and no staples so just rest without stress.

Here are a couple photos.

One last night having a well deserved clean (Paddy close your eyes, no gentleman should see this position)

And one this morning after another clean up, resting on her new Flectabed.

You will get there Kitty, This must all seem so unreal as most things that could of gone wrong did...Its so disheartening when you do all the right things and mishaps still happen!

Here's wishing darling Lexy and yourself a patient time of understanding that will carry you both over till Monday!

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #477 on:** November 05, 2009, 12:17:49 PM »

It's so difficult when we can't explain to them but it does sound like Lexy has reconciled herself a little this morning. Not long until Monday - although it'll probably seem like an age

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #476 on:** November 05, 2009, 11:37:20 AM »

Awww, glad she's still wanting her snuggles, that's a sure sign she's not holding any of this against you

Give her a snuggle from me when you get back from work tonight xx

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #473 on:** November 05, 2009, 07:58:23 AM »

Morning

Paddy, your Roofiest Aunty sez

it means the world to us.

We had an ok night. I slept in the living room on the sofa so if Lexy needed me she could see my feet. She was fine until 3am where she meowed for Africa (

did not, yoo jus def

) but settled down after a bit.

We were up at 5:30am as usual (did I mention I had not missed getting up that early this past week

) and after getting Lexy's ~~medication~~ breakfast ready went for a cuddle. We took the buster collar off (why do they call them buster collars? Far as I recall, Teresa's Buster didn't have a cone head, it was a glorious snuzzle he had

- I digress) and had a good cuddle, Lexy ate all her dry food with her Metacam, but would not touch her wet as it had Flagyl (liquid antibiotic to combat bacteria) in it. Lexy also had her Synulox and her Xanax.

We then had a bit of exercise so that the leg is moving, it wasn't much but she just wanted to come sit in my lap. So we cuddled some more and I fed her a bits of wet food without the liquid.

Before work, on went the collar again and a syringe full of Flagyl down the throat and madam dozing off in front of Animal Planet and her heater.

I feel exhausted!

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #472 on:** November 05, 2009, 07:00:01 AM »
