It really is! So happy to see that poop today. Neve thought I'd be so excited about excrement.

We are on Day 6 today and Lulu (except for being a little uncomfortable yesterday) seems to be coming along well. 
I just noticed that Ash had gone in to the crate to sleep beside her. So cute. Her incision looks good and stitches are coming out next Wednesday.
Sibling love.

Ain’t that the truth!

She's so happy that they are together in the beloved crate, because you did such a fantastic job taking care of them, that she is smiling up at you

I honestly didn't think I had it in me because I was a nervous wreck with Ash. It seemed like such a scary surgery...but you guys were all so helpful and supportive, it made a huge difference.
Kudos to the kitties, they've been incredibly co-operative through all this. They really do seem to like that crate. I may never get them to come out!
Is there a chance Lulu will someday need her other hip done?

There is a possibility. I hope not. If she has the same disease, it isn't showing up yet. Maybe it was just a freaky coincidence. The vet seemed to think she could have it too but it just isn't as advanced as Ash's.

Here's a Lulu update. We are on the 11th day now. She managed to get her cone off, I have no idea where the gauze went...and chewed out her stitches! Thank goodness her incision was healed. I think she was just really itchy. Hoping and praying that she did not eat the gauze. So far, so good. Vet check-up on Wednesday.

Vet gave Lulu the 
this morning! She's still a little puffy from her surgery but doing well. Also, she did eat that gauze the other day 
but thankfully, she pooped it out yesterday. Huge relief! Got her one remaining stitch removed, and had her annual shots. The added bonus is that she has lost a tiny bit of weight from having the surgery. 
What a good girl she was.

I can't lie, I was freaking out over that but she finally pooped last night and it was in there. About 3 inches of it. I don't know how they swallow that stuff. What a load off.

Part of the swallowing is that once it’s caught on their tongues they can’t spit it out, iirc.

I see. Just glad it came out the other end!
