i forgot to tell you.
the splint.
yeah. it cose 40 dollars. just for the splint. and an extra 15 just to have them wrap it around his leg in a sticky ace bandage.
only to have it fall off 4 hours later. when koko had done nothing but sleep those 4 hours!!
he had pulled at a tiny corner, just a tiny bit. and then seemed to say "the hell with it! i'm taking a nap!"
i took him to the litter box when he woke up,. he shook his leg a little,and the splint fell right off. it just slid right off!!
i was so frustrated! that thing cost alot just to have it come off!
so i took him back to the vet and the girl said to me "i guess i'll shave his leg this time and see if it sticks better."
well duh!! when it fell off the first time the sticky stuff had a whole layer of cat hair stuck to it.
why wouldn't they shave his leg in the first place??
so they redid it. and it held. he still had it on at 1 this morning. but when i got up at 7 he had shaken it off.
the dr called this morning and asked about it and i told him he got out of it sometime in the night. he agreed that those things are near impossible to keep on cats.
well then why didn't you just tell me to keep him in his cage rather than squeeze 55 bucks out of me when you knew it wouldn't stay on??
but i guess he felt like he had to do something since he couldn't tell me anything else yesterday since the surgeon wasnt' there. i can't blame him for that.

Now that is a crime. How can they charge so much for something they KNOW is not going to stay on the cat? Ridiculous!
ridiculous is right!!!
we went back and got his meds today.
he's improved greatly since i took him monday.
i think the rest is doing him a ton of good.
i do not think it's cancer - just based on how resting it has helped him feel so much better and he's walking on it like normal when he gets the chance,but time will tell.
he even stood on his bad foot today while trying to feel the water level in his bowl with his other paw.(he does this so as not to sniff water up his nose)
He's just a very active kitty. We all tend to get that way once in a while, where rest is required to recoup. Good luck with the kitty...
and dogs...
and babe!
