Everything crossed for today

Bless her, so pleased she has got to this point.

Her head is all healed, but nerves are setting in now as she's due her next scan tomorrow, the last one brought such unexpected news I'm praying so much she's stable. We didn't think she'd make her birthday but she has she is one tough cookie

The collar is punctured, but she's not been scratching so I've left it off, at least she's eating and drinking now

I shouldn't laugh but that is funny!!

I'm pretty sure she's also punctured the collar, the little monkey

girlinleeds · « **Reply #155 on:** October 01, 2017, 09:36:28 AM »

She fell asleep on the sofa last night so left her there. This morning got up to find she'd removed the inflatable collar and buried it in her litter tray

Because I'm in all day today I've told her she can keep it of as long as she doesn't scratch, so she's had a clean, drank some Water and gone to sleep on the sofa again.
The collar is still stressing her out though and she won't eat or drink wearing it, hopefully the steroid injection has helped with the injection so she's not as itchy, had her nails trimmed at the vet as well

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #154 on:** October 01, 2017, 09:07:56 AM »

What sort of night did Bella have?

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #153 on:** September 30, 2017, 21:17:40 PM »

Fingers crossed the inflatable collar is doing the trick

girlinleeds · « **Reply #152 on:** September 30, 2017, 15:30:54 PM »

Have managed to get her an inflatable collar just going home to put it on her

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #151 on:** September 30, 2017, 07:58:37 AM »

Sorry. If it's right on her head a onesie no gud but inflatable collar should be fine.

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #150 on:** September 30, 2017, 07:56:30 AM »

What about an inflatable collar or even a onesie?

We ended up putting a onesie on Elsa to stop her interfering with her spay stitches as trying to put the cone back on after she ate was a nightmare. She got used to it quite quickly.

Noni recently had to wear an inflatable collar and she could eat fine with it on and it didn't bother her much at all.

girlinleeds · « **Reply #149 on:** September 30, 2017, 07:43:42 AM »

She's really not happy with the cone, she can't eat with it on so have to take it of but getting it back on is a nightmare. As soon as it's of she tries to scratch her head, so she definitely needs it on

at first the vet thought she'd been bit, but then saw a similar patch on the other side of her head. He checked for fleas, mites, ringworm and nothing he now thinks shes had an allergic reaction and shes scratched herself as its been irritating her. Shes had an injection of steroids and antibiotics and a weeks worth of oral antibiotics. But far worst then that she has a cone of shame and is not happy about it at all, we've got to try to keep it on her and take her back in a week for a check up

Good luck

At the vets she's bleeding again

girlinleeds · « **Reply #143 on:** September 27, 2017, 21:56:30 PM »

I think I've been blaming the other two wrongly, I've got a feeling she's been scratching her head and caught it making it bleed. She's been fine all day, no further bleeding I swear I don't fuss as much/get as stressed over daughter's health as I do bellas

Judecat (Paula) · « **Reply #142 on:** September 27, 2017, 10:25:11 AM »

So glad she seems none the worse this morning. As Sue says a relief.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #141 on:** September 27, 2017, 06:51:52 AM »

Well, that's a relief, I must say.

girlinleeds · « **Reply #140 on:** September 27, 2017, 06:10:13 AM »

There's me laid in bed worrying about her all night and this morning she's looks as fit as a fiddle, we did shut her in the living room on her own last night. And while we're at work today I'm going to keep them separated, more because I don't want her knocking the scab of while we're out.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #139 on:** September 27, 2017, 05:43:32 AM »

Poor Bella. How is she this morning?

heather sullivan · « **Reply #138 on:** September 26, 2017, 23:39:50 PM »

Ahh poor Bella hope she is okay

girlinleeds · « **Reply #137 on:** September 26, 2017, 21:56:44 PM »

One of the other cats must have had a go at Bella, she just came into the living room with blood stained fur. Have managed to apply pressure and stop the bleeding but it's really not what she needs

girlinleeds · « **Reply #136 on:** August 23, 2017, 16:06:59 PM »

Thanks everyone I think I've come to the conclusion that there's a time for being sad and that's not now, just enjoy her while we can. I'm 99% sure it's her love for dd that has kept her going all this time

Judecat (Paula) · « **Reply #135 on:** August 23, 2017, 07:49:44 AM »

As has been said, having a plan in advance helps, Bella is having quality of life with bucketfuls of love, all a cat needs. Bless you all.

Liz · « **Reply #134 on:** August 23, 2017, 07:14:52 AM »

I am glad you now have a plan for Bella, sometimes releasing the medical side a little takes the stress off all round, we have some of what we call our borrowed time children, Brady 4 years with a jaw tumour only lost 25g and enjoying the sunshine, Jester had a stroke months ago and has steroid injections every 3 weeks and a Vit B for good measure and aside from he walks like he has had one or two Vodka's to many is doing well, this pair are still with us despite the vets diagnosis and are doing well, we like to think its a little Clan cats magic and hard work put n by us as well x

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #133 on:** August 23, 2017, 07:10:23 AM »

Am glad you have a plan that you are both decided on

Bella is lucky to have such caring people in her life. Am very sad for you, hubby and daughter

Bellas being a good girl and taking her tablets, sometimes it takes a couple of goes to get them in. She has her moments but generally is getting tired a lot quicker than before and spending lots of time sleeping . Her response rate is settling around 30. Me and dh have discussed how far we will go to keep her alive and have decided at what we are and aren't willing to do. It sounds very morbid but actually it's freeing as we can just enjoy her until the time comes. Dd is coping she has moments when she gets sad but is spending time just being with her. Bella is the only cat allowed in her bedroom for bedtime stories, and tonight dh upset dd and Bella was very upset with him.

girlinleeds · « **Reply #128 on:** August 11, 2017, 12:36:41 PM »

Think the young lady is feeling better, caught her trying to drink my cup of tea, she hasn't done that in ages. At one point I couldn't put a cup of tea down as she'd have her head stuck in it having a drink

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #127 on:** August 09, 2017, 11:34:17 AM »

Spoken like a true cat afficionado. No true cat lover ever wants to disturb the cat. We all appreciate what a huge compliment it is that they choose to be in/on or near us.

Judecat (Paula) · « **Reply #126 on:** August 09, 2017, 10:52:05 AM »

Not that you are a devoted cat slave or anything.

My Mum always used to say "Paula, can you make me a cup of tea? I can't disturb the cat."

girlinleeds · « **Reply #125 on:** August 09, 2017, 09:56:57 AM »

Dh said if you give her chicken now she'll want it everytime, my opinion is that if it takes chicken to get the tablet into her then so be it. Today she's being very fussy and wants constant strokes, she's fallen asleep on my knee (not done that in ages) sleep purring so my trip to the shop for milk is delayed until she moves.
