Yippeee Lana is part of the NO TAIL gang.

Bonnie's fur hangs over her little stump - so cute, a bit like a bunny rabbit.

Glad she's doing so well.

Mary and Bonnie xx

yes everything works better when young

i am so pleased lana doing so well

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #59 on:** April 02, 2010, 23:41:37 PM »

Lana had her op on Wednesday this week - all went well, Liz expected everything to be shaved round the area - but its not and her fur just sort of drapes over

When Liz phoned me, she'd only had Lana home about an hour - and she was bouncing off the walls - well, the bars of her cage anyway - still high!

Apparently, the bones in her pelvis have pretty much healed already, so quick! but then she's only 9 months old, young bones heal quicker don't they?

Sending lots of love and huggles and positive vibes for the lovely little Lana - fingers crossed that her op went okay and that she makes a full and speedy recovery xxx

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #56 on:** March 23, 2010, 17:45:00 PM »

Thanks

Havent heard anything yet, not sure now whether the op was actually going to be today, Liz said she'd got to take her in today - so don't know if that was to check over and make the decision - or the actual op itself.

Aww, just read through the thread. Sending positive vibes to Lana, hope she makes a full recovery.

Mark · « **Reply #54 on:** March 23, 2010, 10:10:33 AM »

I hope she is recovering well

The bonus of not having a tail is clumsy humans won't tread on it and she will have a bit less grooming to do

maryas · « **Reply #53 on:** March 23, 2010, 10:07:34 AM »

for Lana and Liz today at the vet.

When Ellis got run over, his back was damaged and his tail was dead. When it was removed, his not very good hind leg seems to have taken over the action of the tail! His right hind doesn't move properly - sadly I think damage to that will mean he won't have a long life

- so it makes quite a good tail really.

It's been over 5 years since he got run over and, touch wood, he has been fine without a tail.

Pinball's breeder had a kitten several years ago who got gangrene in his tail as a young baby and had to have it amputated and Peanut is now a lovely big healthy and happy boy who can do everything any other NFC can do (apart from acting as a duster!)

Gillian please give Liz my best wishes and tell her Lana will be ok.

When I got Bonnie from the RSPCA she was 10 and had just had her tail removed and I was so frightened that she wouldn't be able to balance and jump around but she has no problems what so ever and as I said in previous post show her my photo of Bonnie looking so cute with her little bobble of a tail.

Mary

Thanks

- yes, Liz was worried that Lana wouldnt be able to jump and balance - but I told her about your Bonnie and she was a bit more reassured.

She wasnt very good in the cage to start with and cried and cried, but did settle down after a few days. Unfortunately she got an infection too, but is recovering from that now too.

Aw, that's sad about her tail but good news she can pee and poo at least. She'll cope without a tail OK, of course, and won't know that she's lost something so beautiful! But I have to admit having a tailless cat takes a bit of getting used to

It's good that she's OK otherwise though - hope the cage rest goes smoothly.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #47 on:** March 19, 2010, 18:31:16 PM »

how very sad

hope op goes ok for her

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #46 on:** March 18, 2010, 22:29:57 PM »

Well little Lana is home and doing ok, but just had a message from Liz today to say sadly, Lana's tail will have to be removed

. So she's having the op next Tuesday. Such a shame that lovely, bushy NFC tail will have to come off.

clarenmax · « **Reply #45 on:** March 15, 2010, 08:53:14 AM »

Only just catching with this again, cage rest will be tough I'm sure, but yay for pees and poos

Gillian..........................we want photos of the lioness in her cage

I wanted to go with Liz to pick Lana up, but I had to get back here to see to the cats I'm cat sitting for at the moment, so will have to wait to get piccies when I next go over there, cos Liz doesnt have a computer at home to send me some.

Fantastic news!

Boopy, Minxy + bump, Pinball, Orion, Zoot, Lightning and Haggis are sending lots of extra loud purrs to their fellow NFC.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #41 on:** March 12, 2010, 23:08:03 PM »

This is such good news

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #40 on:** March 12, 2010, 23:06:00 PM »

I took the cage over today and we got it all set up up - must say, it looked very cosy

- Theo thought so too, he went in to check it out and had a little 'paddle' at the blanket

Lana should be safely tucked up in it by now.

maryas · « **Reply #39 on:** March 11, 2010, 22:09:09 PM »

Yipppeee for pee and poo

Bet you're all relieved - this is where the fun starts with the cage rest

Mary

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #38 on:** March 11, 2010, 21:58:07 PM »

Success! She's been able to do both wee and poo on her own

- she is ready to come home, either tomorrow or Saturday. I'm taking a large cage over there tomorrow, which unfortunately is going to take up most of Liz's lounge

. Not sure how long she'll have to have cage rest - I havent had any experience with cats having to be confined like that - no doubt the vet will be able to give her an idea when she goes in to collect her.

AliCat · « **Reply #37 on:** March 11, 2010, 20:17:55 PM »

Poor, poor Lana. I hope she feels better soon!

Millys Mum · « **Reply #36 on:** March 11, 2010, 20:02:10 PM »

Poor girl, hope cage rest is all she needs so she can keep her beautiful tail

Quote from: furbabystar (Michelle) on March 10, 2010, 20:43:32 PM

Its very difficult to keep a cat indoors if it makes them unhappy

It is but isnt it more irresponsible to let a cat out right near a known risk? My friend has 2 dodgy dogs next door, she knows that but still let her BSH and kitten out,a couple of weeks in to his new found freedom the kitten is grabbed by the dogs and shaken around, fortunately the incident was spotted and he lives but one week later hes back out in the garden.

No doubt everyone agrees thats mad but i cant see a road is any different?

Karon · « **Reply #35 on:** March 11, 2010, 19:27:11 PM »

Poor Lana. I've got a cat who was hit by a car and lost his tail - like Lana he couldn't wee/poo on his own for a while but he did eventually. Unfortunately he has back damage so goes wherever and whenever

But we love him! Hopefully once Lana gets over the bruising she'll be able to go OK.

Rachel(Rachette) · « **Reply #34 on:** March 11, 2010, 17:32:38 PM »

Awwww they are both sooooo cute...

maryas · « **Reply #32 on:** March 11, 2010, 11:08:26 AM »

Aw Lana, bless her little heart - making the journey home

Show Liz this photo of Bonnie and let her know how cute she will be if she does have to loose her tail. Hope not though.

Mary

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #31 on:** March 11, 2010, 00:11:31 AM »

I so agree but shows how badly she wanted to get to her home and friends

Amazing thing is, the night it happened, Lana got herself back home and in through the catflap - which would have meant having to climb the fence back into Liz's garden.

Cats are amazing creatures aren't they! Thank goodness she could make it home

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #29 on:** March 10, 2010, 22:52:23 PM »

Thanks all

(and Lana's mum Liz, says thank you for the vibes too!)

Lana is still at the vets. The pelvis itself isnt fractured, but there are small fractures within it, if you see what I mean? which the vet believes arent serious and will heal on their own, so thats better news. However, the base of her tail is broken and she still hasnt been able to wee and poo on her own yet, so I guess she will be staying in so they can monitor that. Not sure when they make the decision on whether to amputate her tail, but should know more tomorrow. Liz went to see her today and Lana managed a purr or two, apparently Theo is wandering around at home like a lost soul, bless him.

poor Lana hope she recovers quickly. My friends birman had a fractured pelvis and he has made a great recovery. he won't ever be the great hunter that used to be but he gets around really quickly despite his limp.
