Glad to hear Bella is out of surgery and doing ok.

Thank you ladies! I'm sure she feels much better- The vet said he thinks it happened like 7-10 days ago. He said it was pretty infected inside, and it already had dead skin :(

She is all stitched up and has her little drain in! My Mom has to take her in Monday to get the drain out.

Thank goodness for my VET he is just amazing!

Just reading this! So Glad she is out of surgery. Praying for a smooth and quick recovery!!

Loving the Avatar! Peanut is such a pumpkin!! :thumbup:

I'm glad the surgery is over and that your vet is so caring and helped Bella. Hope she has a speedy recovery!!

Wishing her a speedy recovery! :)

Sohappy Bella is out of surgery and that you supported your MOMand Bella in such a wonderful way.

I have to say, and no pun intended, but I guess I'm not so anal about my cat as my dogs. Even for me, I might have missed an ulcer or some such developing around the anus. Cats are pretty private kind of folks, and I only groom Karma once a week, so something could develop over that week.

Hugs to you and gentle healing kisses for Bella

Thank You- You know my Mom is always petting Bella and all that good stuff, but she isn’t as anal as I am! I pretty much investigate Peanut daily for things LOL, but like you said Cats are private- Cats are much different than dogs, that is for sure! Bella was in the closet for a couple days and that is unlike her. So that’s how my Mom knew something was up!!

Well I have another update- My Mom called her neighbor over to help her do Bell’s drain this morning. Bella apparently had enough- My Mom’s neighbor was holding her down and my Mom went to lift her tail and Bella freaked out, jumped away, then jumped on the kitchen counter and knocked down fruit punch!! She was very mad! Bella wasn’t having any part of it this morning.

My Mom called the vet and they told her to bring her in. I told my Mom she should see if Bella can just stay there so they can flush her drain till they take it out Monday. The vet said of course, he thinks that would be a better idea so she isn’t stressed out. She can lay in the cage and rest, not move around too much! Less stress for her the better! Instead of taking it out Monday, they are going to take it out Sunday (it needed to be in 3 days so Sunday would be the 3rd day anyways) My Mom will pick her up Sunday and not have to worry about making sure she flushes the drain and no stress for everyone! Besides she needs to flush it with butadiene (sp?) and that stuff gets everywhere, especially if you have a cat that will not tolerate you messing with her right now.


“Sigh” Man what a ride this has been! I can’t wait for all this to be over! The good thing is Bella is doing good! I am sure her staying at the vet will help her. Keep her from moving around too much and we know they will keep her area clean!!

Thank you guys for your kind words!!

What a wonderful vet you have! It will be better for Bella and your Mom not to have to go through that. Less stress for everyone. Hope Bella gets her rest and is home soon!

Wow! Glad all is going well... I agree cats can be a handfull!

I just love my Vet he is so amazing!! He really does care and want to help, not just tell her to give him $700 or sorry we can't do anything!! :thumbdown

Thank you- I hope these 2 1/2 days of rest will do her good!!

:D Thank you, Yes cats are handfuls!! LoL They are special little ones
