Poor kitty!

Little Girl went in for teeth cleaning on Monday. Unrelated, except for piggybacking on the anesthesia, she also had

a small patch of skin

OK, WE'RE SAFE NOW

excised for biopsy. Because of the state of her teeth beforehand, she's getting antibiotics twice a day. Because of the incision, she's wearing an Elizabethan collar. She's pretty miserable. She keeps bumping into things, she is having a hard time eating, she can't rub her face against her humans, and she can't wash just about anywhere.

The good news is that her blood work is fine; she shows no evidence of problems related to having eaten the recalled Hill's m/d food. Biopsy results will be back in another day or two.

Rob says I need a new LJ icon picturing this cat in her current pathetic state. Me, I think I'd rather not remind myself afterwards.

Twelve more days and she gets her stitches out and the collar off.

Oh, poor Little Girl! But the discomfort she's experiencing is nothing compared to what she would have gone through if she'd gotten kidney failure from eating melamine -- I just wish there was a way you could tell her how lucky she really is. Hopefully the biopsy will be negative also and she'll be home free. How long does she have to wear the Elizabethan collar?

Duh, never mind the last question -- I had already forgotten the last sentence!

Biopsy is indeed negative, woohoo! There are definitely times I wish I could talk to her. Ah, well.
