Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Bonnie Update
Bonnie is still miserable this morning so I guess I will take her to my vet for a follow up to-day. There is no improvement in her movement and she is sleeping most of the time. I suspect that with strained and torn ligaments it will take ages to heal but guess I need to see if an X Ray shows if anything is fractured. Bev  SignatureCats aren't clean, they're just covered with cat spit. Please keep us posted. Ligaments are awfully slow to heal. > Bonnie is still miserable this morning so I guess I will take her to my > vet for a follow up to-day.

There is no improvement in her movement [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Regards and Purrs, > O J Just back from the vet and he thinks nothing is broken so no X rays. Said it could take about three weeks to get better because she has damaged herself in the lower back. Unfortunately she hates living on the floor and already is eyeing the tops of tables and ledges. So far she hasn't had the courage to jump but it won't be long! Vet said that is when she could tweak it and get sore again - don't see how I can stop her jumping short of confining her in a large cage that Lois has lent me. BTW Bonnie already gets the best of the human food, lol. Thanks for all the purrs.

Poor Bonnie, after the injuries you describe, it's natural that she's going to take some time to heal up. Purrs from me and my gang that she'll feel better soon, poor dear! Melissa Panther, Francesca and NIna Bonnie here are many purrs for you to get well fast, but not so fast that you don't get all the attention and goodies that all cats deserve!

More purrs The vet said nothing was broken and she didn't need X rays. I did ask :) Torn ligaments take ages to heal, about three weeks, he said. Bev SignatureCats aren't clean, they're just covered with cat spit. Poor Bonnie! I'm sure the vet examining her made her even more uncomfortable. Did they give you any pain meds for Bonnie?

Whenever muscles or ligaments are torn, cut, or injured the pain can be extreme. I've had several times that muscles orligaments had to be cut and repaired during surgery and those were the worst recuperations. Purrs still heading your way for Bonnie to pull through this as soon as possible.

There is no improvement in her movement [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Judith Latham > Stourbridge, West Midlands. UK. Bonnie is still really miserable this morning. My main worry is that she hasn't used the littter box since the accident. It took her two days to urinate for the first time so I am hoping that it will come right of its own accord. She has eaten a little each day, just a few mouthfuls and lapped off the water I put on the food. I don't think she is in pain when she is lying down but in extreme pain when she tries to walk or move her body. However somehow she manages to get to various parts of the house under her own steam, something, I suppose.

Bev, could the vet allow Bonnie some painkillers? If she is being confined to a pen then they shouldn't mean she will start bounding around, and they may make her feel better enough to eat, drink and most importantly use the tray again. If she can't even squat comfortably and doesn't go she may get UTIs to add to her problems. Just a thought - I am not a vet. Continued purrs for Bonnie - Deb. Signaturehttp://www.scientific-art.com "He looked a fierce and quarrelsome cat, but claw he never would; He only bit the ones he loved, because they tasted good." S. Greenfield > > Bonnie is still really miserable this morning. My main worry is that > > she hasn't used the littter box since the accident. It took her two [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > "He looked a fierce and quarrelsome cat, but claw he never would; > He only bit the ones he loved, because they tasted good." S. Greenfield Thanks for the advice Deb. She did have painkillers for the first couple of days. The trouble with painkillers is that they can mask the pain so the kitty can do more damage by over extending. She is sleeping a lot and looks comfortable when resting. We'll see how she is to-morrow :) Bev SignatureCats aren't clean, they're just covered with cat spit. >>>Bonnie is still really miserable this morning.

However somehow she manages to get to various >>>parts of the house under her own steam, something, I suppose. Bev, Purrs and gentle headbutts on the way for poor Bonnie. I wonder if a laxative would make it easier for her to pass solids? Hopefully by now she's managed to go and it isn't an issue but if she's eating she really should go. Sam has trouble because sometime during his life before us he suffered a severe trauma that broke his pelvis and without medical intervention it repaired itself wrong. He now has a very narrow pelvic passage and has trouble passing solids and everything gets compacted in his intestines. I'd hate for poor Bonnie to have that problem as well.

You could try picking her up extremely gently and putting her in the litter box say 3 times a day. I had to carry one of my dogs outside for toilet duties when he was injured and it was too painful for him to make the effort himself. He weed for so long when he found himself on the grass that first time I was sorry it hadn't occurred to me before. Tweed . > I had to carry one of my dogs outside for toilet duties when he was injured > and it was too painful for him to make the effort himself. > He weed for so long when he found himself on the grass that first time I was > sorry it hadn't occurred to me before. This reminded me of an infamous incident involving Isis and Fugazi. Dave had gone to see Fluff's slaves and called me to say that he was going to stay the night there. Now I was going to my parents so we arranged to meet for lunch the next day and I was about to go when two friends turned up. This was good news for me as they would come most of the way back with me. As we were about to leave the flat Helena asked to use the toilet so I said "Sure, but when you come back out make sure you leave the door open so the kittens can use their box as we're both out all night." Of course you can guess what happened without thinking she must have shut the door..... So Dave picks me up from work and we have a lesiurely lunch then come home. I said "Whoops!" and opened the bathroom door. You have never seen two kittens move that fast to get to their litter tray and their expressions when they peed said it all, such relief! Believe it or not they hadn't done anything despite being locked off from toilet facilities for about 18-20 hours.

I'm coming to this late, as I'm still so behind on posts, but Frank and Nikki wanted to add their purrs to the choir going out for Bonnie. We sincerely hope she is feeling better by now.
