How Was Your Day? VII

[pyrocanthus]

I had mice in my kitchen not long ago, phoned the pest control people, they bought some traps and laced the bait with peanut butter. After 3 days mice removed. Some of my neighbours had reported mice in their kitchens and living rooms too, so the pest control people were around for some considerable time. The cause? well one theory was that a nest had been disturbed due to building work which my neighbour to my left had been having done as he was having a 3 square metre high kitchen built ( this replaced a lovely conservatory that my old neighbour had done some years before)

I am in a panic now as i got a cat 5 weeks ago and it had light fur across where it was neutured Its a rescue cat and around that area we can now see flesh as it has been licking a wound of some sort. I have looked up stuff and it says things about seromas and hernias. Anyway we are supposed to see the vet at 12 and she may need surgery.but i fed the cat at 8am. We never were given any instructions and now i am panicking they will delay surgery if she needs it. We waited 4 days to go back to the Celia Hammond Rescue Centre as they think its to do with the operation they did. Now what shall i do?

I appreciate how concerned you must feel about little kitty but maybe she does not need an operation, did she not have a cone around her head to stop her licking the wound after her op? It could be just a stitch that got infected and some antibiotics might be all she needs. I am sure the delay of 24 hours for an operation if she does need one won´t make a big difference. Hope she is right as rain again soon

Hi swmc66, I'm not sure from your description what's wrong with your beloved cat, but I'm certain you don't need to panic. I'm sure the vet will give her whatever treatment is necessary. Emergency operations are carried out every day on people and animals who haven't been nil by mouth. I doubt she needs emergency surgery anyway because if she's eating normally she probably feels OK in herself. Appetite is nearly always a good way to gauge if an animal is feeling well or not, and I can't imagine that she needs an operation today if she's not in pain.

The likelihood is that it's only something minor that doesn't need an operation anyway. Good luck and let us know what the vet says won't you?

Thanks for the advice. Hopefully they will be able to treat her today and give her a cone to stop making it worse.
