Thank you!! I don't want to jinx it, but I think Ally's recovery is on a roll. She's done incredibly well and even seems to be able to resist picking or irritating the incision site. Considering my other cat surgery had to involve one of those dreaded cones, I'm very pleased with her road to...
Hello! Thanks so much for your insight. Ally has done remarkably well as far as her recovery goes. I'm really impressed with her healing and (mostly) ignoring her incision site. The incision is healing up very nicely as far as I can tell, and to my surprise, she has not been agitating it...

About 2 months ago, I experienced the most painful loss I've ever felt. My 5-year-old cat, Jack, died of a lymphoma that took him only a week after his diagnosis. He was only 5 years old. His brother (I say that, but not brother by blood), Andy, began exhibiting a lot of behavioral changes...
