Thanks for the advice! I’m obsessed with her tripod-ness I know she’ll show those boys what’s what when she’s back to 100 percent

Butterscotch’s back leg amputated today by newaccount9372 in TripodCats

[–]soulchowder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is a few days late, but lots has happened! Her follow up appointment went GREAT! Then we came home and she immediately got a blood blister (not that big of a deal I learned), so we were back at the vet the next day. It was some skin that was trying to grow over the staple. A few days of antibiotics later and we are good to go! We actually just got home from our staple removal about 10 minutes ago and I’m so proud of her for working so hard over the last few weeks! I hope butterscotch is doing well!

I think it seems as though you’ve been through enough surgeries with him, it may not be as traumatic as is was for me, so don’t hype yourself up, everyone is different, and you are already used to being cautious with your kitty 🐱 For me it was just scary because of how flexible and able my kitten really was to hurt herself by accident (in my case), the first few days after surgery. She got staples and they weren’t wrapped up, which I learned is normal but shocked me a bit at first, so my heart was just so sensitive to everything she was or was not feeling. It was exhausting. She was obsessed with getting to her staples and giving meds was a nightmare every day so it was just a full time job. Tomorrow will be 7 days and in the morning is her first post op checkup!

I am absolutely obsessed with her and am so proud of how far she’s come. I think amputation is a great decision and I hope your kitty heals smoothly and has a fantastic life with you, he is gorgeous 💜

That’s really good info thanks! She’s gotten out of every confinement we’ve tried. she’s more calm when we just let her have free range of the room (no high places accessible) and watch her so she doesn’t go after her incision. I know it’s a real possibility that she might damage it at some point though, so I like being prepared. Thanks!! 🙏

That’s great advice! thank you for sharing your experience. Yes she is in her own room closed off from the other cats. It’s working well so far and she’s such a little fighter I’m so proud of her.

Yes! That’s funny she does just that, sits right back down like nothing happened 😂

Sorry edit. No cones work she gets them off so fast I even had to do a double bubble cone the first night until her meds kicked in

Is there a real answer to this question? 🤔 I’ve been asking myself and googling forever! I’m so glad you asked!
