Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2004Shasta's Staples are out
Shasta got her staples removed. Two of them were a bit painful and bled a bit. But the vet gave us some antbiotic cream for them. He said Shasta is doing well and the tumor was definitely benign. We are relieved she is well and thank everyone for all the purrs. CATherine I am new here, but glad thngs are OK. Always scary at vet cuz, pets don't know what's happening to them. I don't know the history but continued good health to Shasta. My photo albums http://public.fotki.com/Sonscere/ "IIt's not love that causes the pain Whenever a heart has been shattered, It's the losing of love that's to blame."

VG Shasta started out with a small fatty tumor near a nipple and then a mammary tumor started growing and engulfed the fatty one and then she started scratching her allergies and ripped it open and it got infected and wouldn't stop oozing. I was really hoping it wasn't cancerous. So I was really glad to find out it was benign. I just realized...Shasta just had a Mastectomy! :-o Welcome back, Brian. I remember reading about Sonscere, and will be glad to read more about her. CATherine >Shasta got her staples removed. Two of them were a bit painful and >bled a bit.

Or Bootie's did withher spay. Big relief about the tumor, CAT. So glad to hear it. BTW, docs staple hoomins (especially head lacerations on kids) because it is much faster than suturing (bellowing, fighting kids) and because - yeah, it's much harder to pull them out by accident or otherwise before seeing doc for removal. Could that be reason staples now being used on pets in lieu of sutures? In spite of the skirmishes of the Evil 3 here, no one is ever injured physically enough to go to TED.....so I didn't know vets were stapling pets. : >Shasta got her staples removed.

They seem harder to remove than sutures. Or : Bootie's did withher spay. Perhaps the vet used staples on Shasta because of her history of scratching for her allergies. Sutures would be easy to hook a claw and pull out. But the funny thing is, she didn't scratch after the surgery. But I had a tee-shirt with a terrycloth pad on her just in case. Thanks for all the purrs and well wishes. CATherine >Big relief about the tumor, CAT.
