Am glad he is still doing well, and probably a good job he had that collar on seeing how much he hated those stitches!!! Am sure lots of love and cuddles will still be required though and those pics are wonderful.
Please spay your cat

Hmmmm - I think Aunty T and Aunty Helen are right - Bilbo will need lots of extra loving - and treats - (yes, treats - dont forget the treats!)  to ensure his recovery is complete    ;)

Well done Bilbo for the incredible bravery in taking your own stitches out, and well done Baggy for rockin' support xx

Glad to hear that Bilbo has been pulled back from the brink...  Don't become complacent though, he'll still need extra treats and more cuddles to help him on the long and rocky road to complete recovery  :innocent:

The boys send the final dose of healing head kisses, it's important that he completes the course  :evillaugh:

Pleased that Bilbo has made a good recovery, I can quite understand Bilbo`s  touch and go; he meant Touch and Go as to whether he allowed the vet to keep his fingers  :rofl:
If I remember Baggins correctly he will have been a rock of support in cleaning Bilbo`s food bowl  :rofl:

It is always wonderful to see the pics of these very special boys who become more handsome by the day.

Hullo hullo folks!

Billy is healing really well. We took his collar off on Friday, and by the next morning Billy Rambo had performed self surgery and removed half of his stitches. After a frantic call to the vets we were reassured that the wound had healed well so it wouldn't cause a problem. We're going to have the remaining stitches out tomorrow.

He wanted to pass on his thanks to you all for your support through his ordeal, which, he assures me, was quite frankly touch and go a few times  :innocent:

I'd like to say that Baggins had been a good brother to Bilbo while he was recovering, a rock of support ... but he was just, er, Baggins  :evillaugh:

Seriously though, thanks for all your messages folks, its really nice to know you were thinking of Billy  :thanks:  :hug:

Here is the grumpy patient ...



He hates everything today, doesn't want to sit down, doesn't want to move about. Poor Bilbo  :shy:



is he still making the most of the attention then !?

the upturned collar is great for chucking cat biscuits into from the other armchair lol.
get well soon Bilbo :)

Hullo folks  :)

Bilbo still has the collar on - the vet said we could take it off today if the wound had healed well enough. He's left it up to me to decide, and said we could call in if we wanted him to look at it. It looks like it has healed really well though.

Billy is the grumpiest I've ever seen him  :shy: He's eating, drinking and using his litter well enough mind. I was concerned about him not weeing for the first day after the op but he's fine now.

Lynn - not sure what he was impaled on - we live on a farm so there are lots of possibilities. I've been wandering around this week looking for sharp stuff and bending the points down when I find them  :)

Glad he's feeling perkier and back to his normal self

Hullo folks! We went to the vets yesterday - unfortunately for Bilbo he has to wear the collar until Thursday now  :scared:

Apart from the grumpiness associated with his fashion accessory he's very bright and is undoubtedly on the mend.

Thanks for all the messages  :hug:

Aww, bless him - they dont always let the collars off after the first check up though, they do sometimes insist on it being until the stitches come out.

Hullo hullo folks! Bilbo is now safe and well at home, albeit very grumpy. He's got to wear an Elizabethan collar, until Monday at least. Its driving him absolutely mad  :(

Baggins is doing a grand job of being a male nurse, but its only a matter of time before he gets clouted by the patient.

We're due back at the vets on Monday afternoon to check the wound is healing. Fingers crossed he can have the collar off then.

Thanks very much for the messages everyone, its much appreciated  :hug:

They won't tell me anything until 2pm so I'm sat here at work counting the minutes. I've already told the boss that when he's ready to be collected (bilbo, not the boss) I'm knocking off work early. I'm more nervous now than I've been about anything  :shy:
