Has he got a stump then Angie, thought it looked like it had ben removed at the joint. Its quite unusual for them to have a stump I think

A couple of days ago he came into the lounge swearing and my 5 went from sleep to cowering behind the sofa in two seconds!  ;D

Mog is still much calmer today.
I let him out briefly but he does like chasing other cats, sigh..... so perhaps he's only got himself to blame if he bangs his stump.
After chasing Juliet up and down the stairs he is back in his pen for a few hours  >:(

The more 24/7 vets the better

Yes I understand that cats (or people) can have probs after the removal of a limb from phantom limb pain and it can go on for the rest of their live but often it will gradually go. I do hope that Mogs gradually feels better and doesnt suffer too much.

Sounds like it comes and goes and he is in the very early days  :hug: :hug:

Haven't had much time for mog yet 'cos of going to the court but am just about to see if he wants to come out.

Re the vets: The receptionist thinks it'll be £50-60 for the consult but, unlike vets now, they won't be hiking up the prices of all the meds.

well back from vet. no temp advised cage rest and metacam for a week. vets own cat has an amputated tail and says it still bothers her sometimes after 2 years.
when i got back, OH in for lunch and told me he'd been running around downstairs this morning so perhaps he's just overdone it.

good news is yourvet on herald ave opening up 24hrs from monday. That'll be a blow for other vets (and more so for vets now!)

Mog seems to be a great deal of pain today.
I have given him some metacam and he is now sleeping peacefully (or dead!) under my bed.

I shall take him to vets when he stirs and seek some advice about pain control as I'm unhappy to keep him on metacam - he's had enough of it over the last 5 weeks.

Rosella's just reminded me to post an update  :rofl:

Mog went to the vets this morning to have his stitches removed and the vet is happy with him.  :Party 3:

Mog is happily eating his own biscuits and has started complaining loudly about being left in his pen too long as I have been letting him wander around the last couple of days.  :Luv2:

He's not too keen on the other cats and doesn't move around a great deal but can and does when he wants to.  :rofl:

So I guess its just a bit of body building for him now  :boxer:

Ahhh the poor baby ... I seem to have missed a few days.  Sorry to hear he had to lose the leg ... but from the look on his little face he is actually happier without it.  I'm sure he will soon adapt to 3 legs and be rushing about like a good un very soon.   :Luv2: :Luv2:

In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.
