Kotyo's check-up - wonderful news

We just came back from the vet. They took x-rays and there is no air in
his chest cavity after a full week without the chest tube. There is also
no air under his skin. So his trachea has been declared officially
healed, and all drainage tubes removed.

He still has to take 2 different antibiotics, poor guy, because he still
has open wounds on his chest. The vet said that he prefers not to stitch
them closed, to avoid the possibility of an abscess developing under the
stitches.

But he is going to be ok!!!

The most amazing thing is that Kotyo was a perfect angel with the vet.
This has not happened in years and years. He *always* growls at vets,
and hisses and swipes at them. He did it just last Tuesday while the vet
was taking the IV needle out of his paw. But today, he let that same vet
pick him up out of his carrier, carry him to the x-ray room, take 2
x-rays, then take out the 2 tubes from under his skin and remove all the
leftover stitches... And he did not even hiss! And it's not because he's
not feeling well - he has been acting completely like his normal self
for a few days now. I guess he realizes that the vet saved his life.

Thank you everyone for all the purrs, prayers and good wishes. They
worked, and I have my baby boy out of danger.

That is wonderful. :-) Thanks so much for posting good news.

One day, now Kotyo is getting better, I'd love to read about his moving
from, Canada to Spain.

Thanks, Adrian.

I could write about Kotyo's move from Canada to Spain, but it is not
really all that interesting. It was pretty stressful for him, and I
still feel guilty for putting him through it. But there was nothing else
I could do - it's not like I could leave him behind... Still, I'll try
to write the story one of these days.

What a fantastic cat is Kotyo? To be so good with the vet.

Purrs for the wounds on his chest to heal quickly and well.

Judith


Thanks Judith. He is the best boy kitty ever (just as Sweety is the best
girl kitty ever :-). I just love them both to bits.

So sorry to hear you're going through that. I'll get Kotyo and Sweety to
purr for you. Sweety has an especially loud purr, so the purrs will be
extra-strong.
