Glad to hear he’s doing better. CBD oil? That sounds interesting! Do you have any advice or articles about how I can go about it with my kitty?

Hi all. Been a tough few months but I’m back to give an update. Been a rollercoaster ride with my boy, infections, x rays, diarrhoea, the lot! He’s on a slow path to recovery, finally off cage rest and limping around, he is still in pain even all these months later :( . At this point I feel he...

This may seem a silly question- but at this point they don't know if it's just a skin level infection or deeper (implant or bones). He was given two antibiotic shots and is to return on Monday for a follow up appointment- will these shots prevent it progressing to the bone if it is just a skin...

Perfect, I have been doing the same and just wiping the floor over with water and extremely diluted dish soap. Didn't want to bring chemicals anywhere near the little guy

I usually transport him into his carrier when I'm cleaning it, yes it's a metal wire cage so was ideally looking for a safe homemade solution to do a wipe down

Do you have any ideas for a non toxic cleaning solution to clean out his cage? I've seen vinegar as a method but I don't feel too keen on that :barfgreen:

Thank you, do you think I should try a saline solution on the area? Or is it best to leave it to the vet tomorrow- I don't want to sting him. I suspect he will be given antibiotics anyway

The log certainly proved useful today as I immediately noticed a red sore bump around his extra arm claw thing (sorry i don't know the technical name!). I immediately emailed a photo over to the nurse who showed the vet, he has to be back there tomorrow as it seems he is starting to get an...

That's a great idea, I will definitely keep a little daily log between his check ups. Thank you once again you wonderful people :rock:

Thank you both. Yes I really didn't want to doubt the vet as she is also the incredible lady who did is surgery so I'm sure she knows best, I guess I wasn't mentally ready to see the incision areas just right now! I can definitely see how casts can cause more damage than they're worth, I guess...

It's been a week since surgery, at his follow up appointment they completely removed his cast and bandage saying it wasn't necessary anymore. My only concern is he seemed to be bearing some weight on his cast before hand, but now he is unable to bear any weight on his bad leg. Is this a step...

Thank you Kieka. I feel awful but I've had to resort to coming back up to bed as he really wasn't going to stop protesting. I can hear him banging on the cage loudly- now I'm pretty sure he and I are both distressed!

He's spent most of the last two days sleeping- isn't drinking water but we are giving him some through a syringe. It's as if he has suddenly regained his energy as it's currently 4am here and he suddenly woke up and is crying repeatedly at the door of the gate- we have tried everything to calm...

I wish I could do this but my mother will be at work until 4pm, and I will be at university some days. My cousin will come by on Monday to take him for his bandage change but I can't help at feel guilty that I can't be there all the time. He has suffered enough and I really do wish I could take...

I am in the UK- thank you for the heads up, I will watch him like a hawk!

Sorry- continuing from before- if and when he uses the tray I will be ready to scoop it up immediately, but I assume there will be some accidents. Poor little guy, he hates mess so that will be hard on him.

Thank you. I was only given instruction of to give him his medicine with food only, and to take him back weekly for a bandage change. Is there anything specific I should be watching out for with the metacam? At this point he's just sleeping. For his litter tray I am using a flat tray with...

Thanks for the reassurance, yes you're right having the support of having his arm set must definitely have reduced his pain compared to before. I will definitely try to get him on wet food but for now I'm desperate for him to eat anything! He's also been twitching in his sleep, not sure if this...

Also just wanted to ask- when should I be concerned if he hasn't used the litter box? He isn't eating much at all and not drinking so I'm also worried about dehydration :confused2:

Hi everyone, just thought I'd update you all as you have all been so great. I brought him home today, he definitely tried to walk around his cage when he realised he was home and used up most of his strength despite me trying to discourage it. He has been sleeping all day and I have woken him...
