How much of that weight loss came from the amputation itself? You need to know the amount he lost by not eating enough food.
I'm not sure, but he's eating pretty good now, so I'm not worried. (I doubt they weighed the leg).How much of that weight loss came from the amputation itself? You need to know the amount he lost by not eating enough food.
He's looking really well! I left a comment.Just a little update. Had an appt yesterday. They are happy about how he's getting around so far. Checked it again, & there's no fluid. The vet said that it's just swelling & his little fat pad shifted. She wants to try & take a few staples out in 10 days, so we go back on the 7th.
They all love him there. They say how he Really fits his name. When we were there for the first time a few months ago for conjunctivitis, he weighed 14.5 lbs. Yesterday he was 12.8.
Here's a little video I took around 6:45 tonight.

No, he's still in the bthrm. He'd never settle if he was. He'd be able to see Honey outside, & want to go out. Plus, he's in my bedroom bathroom, so he's close to me at night. Since he wakes me up at least 2xs/ night..Did you move him to the living room?
Of course they love him and, best of all, he picked you! Thanks so much for the updates, we're all very fond of Panther.They are happy about how he's getting around so far.

Awww, thank you. Yeah, the vet tech told him he adopted a good mommy.Of course they love him and, best of all, he picked you! Thanks so much for the updates, we're all very fond of Panther.
He always does after meds, but come 1:30, or 3:30, then again about 5:45 or 6:45.He looks tired in that picture. You should not have a hard time sleeping.
He wants real litter back. Cats bury waste instinctively, so pellets and pee pads go against their natural psychology. I am sure you are looking forward to letting him do that again!He always does after meds, but come 1:30, or 3:30, then again about 5:45 or 6:45.
The first time, usually he's peed, so he cries, & I get up & change his pad. Since he hasn't been using the litter box, he may not like the pellets, so he pees on his bed, so that's why I've been keeping pads on it. Tonight, I put just a pad in the box, with only a few little pieces in there, & hopefully he'll use it, but we'll see!
You need maternity leave. This was pretty much how I felt the first few weeks with J.Thanks so much guys. It was a really rough night. I am literally sitting here crying..
I only got about 3 hrs of sleep last night.
I feel like I'm at a breaking point. He woke me up at 1:00 am. I try to let him cry a little, to see if he'd settle, but can't too much, because I have someone above me, & don't want to wake her either. So I went in to lay with him for a while, but he still wasn't very settled. He wants out of the bathroom. When I try to put him back in the crate, he tries to scratch & bite me. Finally put him back in at 5:00 this morning, & tried to get some sleep. I can't work, & do all of this on little sleep. He's got to be tired too. I hear him up already as well. It's 7:45. I'm going to call & ask the vet about amatriptyline or something to help. My patience are barely there. I have to somehow work today.
Or as Cats for Dummies calls it, PETerinity leave. (I like that better.)You need maternity leave. This was pretty much how I felt the first few weeks with J.
