Arghh! Fatty's jaw out again

[Toddlerteaplease]

Got home from a 12.5 hour shift and the jaw out. No idea how she's done it again. Despite keeping an eye on the spy camera. The specialist will see her tomorrow. Meanwhile she's at the local vet hospital having methadone to keep her comfortable because the orthopaedic surgeon wants to see her with it dislocated if possible. The vet is under strict instructions that she is to put it back in if she's in any pain at all. She wasn't happy but I still has to chase her round the house to get her in her basket. Hopefully we can get some answers this time.

Really hoping this works. Poor puss.

Fluffy, he didurealky say about the recovery time but cat's di bounce back quite quickly and I'll make sure she gets her pain killers. She's home at the minute.

Cozie, the vet did tell me to tell her to yawn more when it pops out!

Yawn more?

Wow!
I haven't met a cat who will do much of anything on demand. Much less yawn.
Hope the procedure goes well, she recovers quickly and it works.

He was joking. Apparently she just needs to open her mouth wider to unlock it. Hmm don't fancy putting my fingers in her mouth. I might unlock her but loose my fingers in the process!

Does it hurt her? Looks awfully traumatic!
Maybe borrow a dog she can shout at?

That's very cool - thank you for sharing the pictures! Hope it is all straightforward for her on Thursday - are you off? - and most importantly, effective.

She's very happy that she looks like a sabre toothed tiger under all that fluff. Working Thursday but probably going to take her Wednesday night, if I can't get the morning off. Will pick her up Friday morning abc my dad will will cat sit Friday and Saturday night while I'm working.

Managed to get someone to do my early shift so I don't have to take her in the night before. Means I can feed her up as I know she won't eat at the vets. The darling girl had cat litter stuck to her wiskars this morning. Wonder what an earth she was up to overnight!

The difference between her and a fearsome huntress tiger is merely one of scale, really. Can't do that with human CTs in this trust
I'm really glad someone has covered you. I guess these favours are often returned. So she needs to do lots of eating but no yawning. See, even typing the word yawning makes me yawn!

Eliza. Only if the neurosurgeons at work left himself logged into the images programme so I looked up my own MRI abs took photos of it. And was explanation to his medical students.

Oh - I meant separating out the bones like that, it's pretty cool!! You can window but not see them totally on their own. I am not going to comment on whether I've looked at my own scans - though I think it's pretty widely done

Is it a bit wrong of me to want to get my boy's head scanned now? I'd be framing those and hanging them on the wall!
Glad they've identified the issue.

Ha ha, I wanted to hang my own MRI on the wall. Glad it's not just me! Madam is being super affectionate today. Don't know what's got into her!

Omg the rescue I got these two from has a 9 month old black Persian who is the absolute spot of Fatty and shares the same name as Snorg. Tell me why it's a bad idea!!

2 to 3 is usually a lot easier than 1 to 2.

Well if there's a little one in rescue needing a home...

It would be rude not to, surely?

Hope all goes well with the operation and she won't be bothered by it anymore.

Triplets sounds perfect!

We had 4. It's doable.

Not sure I can cope with three identical cats!! The surgeon phoned this afternoon to answer the questions I forgot to ask the other day. So feeling nervous but reassured.

Wonder if her having the same name as Snorg is fate though!

Not at all. She would need to be renamed as soon as, though.

We can't tell you it's a bad idea! Because it's not! It's a wonderful idea. You can lavish your love on another deserving kitty .
