Re: Merlin's operation


WOOPEEE! HE'S HOME!!!

My darling boy is home again - he's still quite wobbly, but he is sitting in his second favourite place - on the mat in the link room in the sunshine. He has eaten 2 small saucers of food already.

But, and I am going to whisper this - the poor darling smells of wee. Now I know with the collar on he can't groom himself. I am quite happy to give him the once over with an old face cloth - would you just use warm water, or put anything (like a bit of salt or hibiscrub) in it?

I have to remove the bandage from his leg in a bit so could do it then .........

Re: Merlin's operation


My daft old Balie used to smell of wee when he took to sitting in the litter tray. I was a bit more brutal and stuck him in the shower with some medicated cat shampoo

I would say, considering Merlin's delicate post-op state warm water would suffice for now.

Delighted to be reading he's home. Big, but gentle hugs to him

Re: Merlin's operation


So glad he's home! I think I'd just use warm water on a face cloth or similar, it'll make him feel better I'm sure. Alternatively you can get dry shampoo which we use at the practice for in-patients, it's a lot less stressful than a full bath!

Re: Merlin's operation


Warm face flannel I think you may find he has sat in his litter try in the vets or wee'd himself while under sedation. Cleo did this I just wiped her down wih a damp flannel round her back legs "trousers" and the nunderside of her tail to the end.
