Poor Kitty....

Poor Laurie... I took her to the vet Friday because I noticed an abscessed area where an old wound had gotten infected. The plan was to put in a couple of stitches, start an antibiotic, and send her home that afternoon.

The boys and I went to get her Friday afternoon, but when they brought her out, she had a horrible area that was still draining & an incision over 2 inches long with lots of stitches. I was like, "OMG! What happened?" The vet explained there was a lot more dead skin than they realized, so the surgery was more complicated than expected. They recommended keeping her over the weekend since the surgical site needed to drain while healing.

We finally brought her home yesterday (Monday). She looked a lot better. We set her up in our bedroom so she wouldn't get dirty or injure herself again, but by about 8:00pm, I noticed she'd already popped a couple of stitches. The vet said to have her at the office at 7:30 this morning.

So, the kitty is back at the vet for the day. They will have to put in a different type of suture & we can get her (again) this evening.

Here's the kids waiting so patiently yesterday for us to bring her home... (Thank goodness for comic books!!!)
