Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Ohmygawd!
You all heard what happened with Bandit getting burned at the vet - well, the problem was even worse. This morning when I was petting her I noticed matted hair on her back by her tail. I got out the wire brush to get the mat out and her hair came out in a huge clump. A patch of skin about 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long was laid bare and I could see she had been burned there also!!!! It didn't look *nearly* as bad as the one on her belly - it was just where her skin had peeled (like when you get a bad sunburn) and the underlayer was raw like a bad scrape. It's not infected, probably because of the Clavamox she's been taking since Monday night, but *OHMYGAWD*!!! I put a heavy layer of Silvadine on it, and I think it should be OK without having to take her to the ER. More purrs for my poor baby would be greatly appreciated! -- Hugs, CatNipped http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ > You all heard what happened with Bandit getting burned at the vet - > well, the problem was even worse.

I'm hoping putting the Silvadine on it and continuing the Clavamox is all I'll have to do.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > CatNipped When Nina was an infant, and in need of warmth, I sometimes would fill a small drinking water bottle with very hot tap water, screw the lid on VERY tight, and then would wrap it in a dishtowel. That way she had a warm, but not too warm thing to lie near, but something that wasn't electric, or hot enough to burn her or her Mama. It was improvisational, but the best I could do, and it worked well. Poor Bandit, though! She's just having an awful month! I hope that's the last of the awful discoveries for you both, and that everything heals up well and cleanly. Melissa Lots and lots and lots of purrs for poor Bandit! Hope this is the last of this.

[quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > CatNipped > http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ That sounds like a skin lesion from a matt to me. If a matt stays on the skin too long it actually will make a sore, which can easily get infected. They can look like burns or scrapes.

I don't think so, the mat wasn't there last week - I only felt it 2 days ago and thought it was because she had the e-collar and wasn't able to lick her fur. And the skin is peeling just like mine does when I get a bad sunburn. Hugs, CatNipped > You all heard what happened with Bandit getting burned at the vet - well, > the problem was even worse.

Extra purrs on the way  SignatureElise (supervised by Gossamer & Jeeves) pics: http://photos.yahoo.com/dragonandthistle@snet.net I can't believe the vet didn't find it . With burn patients, especially in a case of a thermal burn it's a good idea to examine the entire cat for other burns of course this might be an exception since Bandit is such a psycho at the vet. Sorry, Lori, but Bandit was probably not being nice so the techs were unable to check thoroughly. purrs that Bandit gets better. Kristi > You all heard what happened with Bandit getting burned at the vet - well, > the problem was even worse.

Healing thoughts headed your way. ---------------------<snip>---------------------- >I put a heavy layer of Silvadine on it, and I think it should be OK without >having to take her to the ER. > >More purrs for my poor baby would be greatly appreciated! Oh boy! You and that poor kitty need all the purrs you can get. I'm surprised the vet missed it, but if it was a light burn and still covered in hair ... Purrs-a-plenty originating in LA. Regards and Purrs, O J > You all heard what happened with Bandit getting burned at the vet - well, > the problem was even worse. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > More purrs for my poor baby would be greatly appreciated! Many purrs coming over for Bandit. This is almost going beyond negligence. I don't think I could be as forgiving as you are. Purrs for you both.

[quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > More purrs for my poor baby would be greatly appreciated! This is too much, far too much. It is one thing admitting that a burn to the stomach was caused by leaving your poor bad-tempered girl on the heat pad too long. That in itself is bad enough, burns are horribly painful. Your vet has been very ethical in admitting it was their fault and treating Bandit for free. It doesn't, of course, ease the pain of the burn and subsequent operation for Bandit, but at least, given that it happened, they did their best to put it right. BUT! To find that she has been burned on the back as well is just too horrific. I suppose they were afraid of her, but that isn't really an excuse at all. They need to have procedures in place for dealing with bad-tempered cats, they surely must get big old male ferals that are even worse? I hope you will tell them that Bandit is burnt on the back too, and to sort it out so it doesn't happen to another kitty "with anger management issues" ;-) again. They mustn't be allowed to not check and turn regularly a half comatose cat on a heat pad because they afraid of being bitten or scratched. Whisper something nice in Bandit's ear from me and KFC & BF. Tweed > More purrs for my poor baby would be greatly appreciated! More purrs CN. I understand how you feel. I've been through the mistakes of a vet (many mistakes all with a single cat) and its so frustrating and maddening. SignatureCheryl >You all heard what happened with Bandit getting burned at the vet - well, >the problem was even worse. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >More purrs for my poor baby would be greatly appreciated! Oh, that poor baby! How she must have been suffering! But what an unusual place to get burned. That heating pad might have had a short or something.?(I know nothing about electricity) I hope the hair grows back over the scar. Sometimes burns go too deep for hair follicles. The tail one should be ok but her poor belly. Sending more purrs, -- CATherine >> You all heard what happened with Bandit getting burned at the vet - well, >> the problem was even worse.

[quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > I'm wondering if she *did* feel her tummy burning and flipped over but then > got burned there. I'm wondering if the vet was stupid enough to put her on another heating pad while she was doing surgery on Bandit's stomach - she *would* have been lying on her back for that! Hugs, CatNipped Yikes - more healing purrs to your baby. I'm so sorry that this happened!
