Maggie is Home!!! Update 11/16

Maggie is home! We picked her up at 7am. What was so heart-warming is the entire staff of the clinic (including the vet who did the surgery) came out to say goodbye to Maggie and wish us good luck. The vet asked that I bring her back in a month or so, just so he can see her improvement. I think little Maggie won over their hearts!

She is now sitting on her heating pad sleeping, after she nibbled on some food. She didn't eat a lot, but she ate some. I'll probably have to syringe her some food today as I'm sure her face hurts and she still is sneezing, but she ate!!! They did feed her several times, but she only ate tiny amounts for them. (BTW, the reason I couldn't feed her is they had her on a morphene drip most of the night and they were concerned that I might cause her to be more active than just resting.)

We still have to get the eye socket healed and her weight up, but it's such a relief to have her home!!!

Yippee!!! You are going to be very surprised at how quickly she bounces back from the eye removal. I have been through it with 2 of my cats and they were acting normal by day 3. Good to hear she is eating a bit so soon afterwards. Go Maggie!!

Thanks for all the well wishes for Maggie. She's sleeping again after having a small lunch and a thorough chin scratch.

I'm actually a bit stunned that she will eat. I figured between the anesthesia and the surgery trauma, we'd be back to syringing her. But no, she is trying to eat on her own. I have to make sure there are no lumps in the food and then feed it to her on my finger. (She winces when she chews and when her whiskers on the right side touch a plate.) But hey, if she wanted pureed lobster, she would get it!!!
