Friday night she was in a lot of pain, purring *really* loudly and
trembling, and then crying in the middle of the night, even giving her the
pain pills every 6 hours.  So we picked up some stronger pain medication
yesterday morning, Buprenorphine HCI, which is given sublingually (in her
cheek pouch or under her tongue), and that let her rest easier yesterday and
last night.

This morning her wounds are looking clean and dry, no swelling, no redness.
Her appetite has picked up to the point that she was waiting at the child's
gate on my bedroom door when I was bringing her food down to her just now.
She was batting and biting at my hands and looking perkier than she has in
quite a while.

The vet called yesterday morning, last night, and again this morning to
check on her to make sure she was doing OK.  I know some of you may be
feeling cynical about this (it's hard not to) and say it's a case of CYA,
but I don't think so, I think she really cares and feels terrible about what
happened.  She certainly hasn't tried to deny culpability and has done
everything in her power to treat Bandit and get her well.  Anyway, I think
I'll give her another chance and not seek another vet just yet.
