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

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.

I am sorry that Little Girl is unhappy. I hope she gets better soon. I know you are a very good human and will take very good care of her. She will feel better with her teeth taken care of. My human told me I had my teeth cleaned a few months ago. It did not hurt at all. I do not know how they did it, since they just stuck a needle in my leg and then I took a nap. I woke up in a cage, which I did not like, but it was a very good nap. The worst part was being in the little box and having it put into the big noisy shaky box. Not just one time, either. Two times! I do NOT like the big noisy shaky box, and I make sure my human knows it!

My human took a lot of little cans with pictures of cats on them back to the store. Our regular food is dry. We are supposed to have the wet food for a treat but our human is lazy and does not give it to us very often. So we never did get to eat any of it. If that means I do not have to be in the noisy shaky box and see the bad mean humans I guess I am glad.

Please give Little Girl some licks from me.

Love,
Val
