The litter tray

Should I do anything about a smelly splint??

The dressing has been on her leg for two weeks one more week to go thank god. It’s not bothered her too much. She has a go when I take her collar off so she can wash herself. There is a small bald patch at the top of the dressing. Not broken down. Trouble is that it smells. I thought she had wind as she’s bee
Living off Gourmet which she’s never had before and which she seems to be addicted to. Is it that bad for her she’s housebound so I’m giving her what she wants. I’ve. put my nose to the dressing and it does pong I’m scared there’s a sore there but I can’t see anything and it’s all intact. I’m also scared that if I go back to the vets she will redress it and add more weeks to it which is what happened when she the pot fell off.

Could it be just generally using the litter tray do you think?

Jesus, Each. I feel for you. Do you have enough leave to cover all this?

EachandEveryone · 06/06/2018 15:39

They are going to pull the drain out cm by cm and I will be going home with a catheter in for 15 days. I shall look forward to that. The sitter said they were fine yesterday and she will take the temperature tonight.

EachandEveryone · 04/06/2018 22:37

No I mean the pawpaw not a Tena is that what you mean? I don’t know the right terminology still! —and I’m a nurse—

cozietoesie · 04/06/2018 22:23

I mean - have you checked?

cozietoesie · 04/06/2018 22:22

Has she peed elsewhere?

EachandEveryone · 04/06/2018 22:16

I will do when shes asleep. Shes fine in herself but the vet said if it doesnt clear up she will need a biopsy. Bloody hell.

OP posts:

cozietoesie · 04/06/2018 20:45

Agitate it.

EachandEveryone · 04/06/2018 19:49

Still got a bloody temperature!!! Her pad has scabbed over looks clean. The night before as well.

OP posts:

cozietoesie · 27/05/2018 23:46

Maybe for just one day - until you've readjusted?

EachandEveryone · 27/05/2018 22:30

Just tomorrow and nights at the end of the week. Im thinking of getting the sitter to come in even for afew days after im back what do you think? If i book her for a week its £70 for once a day. Although she did look surprised when i mentioned Dolly so i hope she isnt going to up it like my last one did. I swear the good cattery is not much more expensive and its a pity its full.

OP posts:

ElizaDontlittle · 27/05/2018 19:48

I was wondering if she'd decided to go for the most expensive! Glad things are back to normal and hope these last shifts are straightforward ones.

Cats will generally eat the most expensive food - until you buy more of it.

If she's eating again, I'd try some of her usual..........

EachandEveryone · 26/05/2018 20:04

Shes outside listening to the traditional romanian folk music playing full blast. They both love hearing the music and dancing on a weekend! As long as they blinking stop by bedtime im up at 6!

Ill have to go back to PAH this week and get the food in. I cant believe how expensive it is compared to zooplus byt ive never heard of the Core brand.
