Tigger update

I just spoke to my s i l on the phone. Tigger came home this afternoon.
He has special pate type food which must be watered down to a soup and pain
relief tablets to be crushed into his food once his pain relief injection
wears off (tomorrow)
He is managing to lap up the food and he seems quite hungry which is a good
sign, I think. His jaw is wired and he's lost all his teeth from the left
side of his face, most of which are baby teeth but possibly lost one
permanent canine. The vet says he will be "disfigured" but I wasn't able to
find out exactly how or quite what was meant.
He has to go back on Friday to be checked and the wires will come out after
a month. Poor lad will get the snip at the same time he has the wires out
to avoid two anaesthetics.
I was pleasantly surprised by the cost of it. I'd told my brother to expect
300 pounds plus for a Sunday evening emergency consultation and operation
with all the associated costs of surgical nurse coming in off duty,
anaesthetic and each item of equipment for your pet like drip sets, syringes
are all one use only and have to be paid for.
261 pounds. A bargain I call it, to save Charlotte's beloved boy.

Thank you all for your purrs and prayers for young Tigger.

I bet he is "safe" the little girl probably is hovering over his and the
rest of the family know better by now. Pray it is so.

I know all of us will continue to send prayers and purrs for the little
one.

Poor little one but at least the furball is home and safe now.

I'm so glad to hear that - poor baby boy! What is it lately with all the RB
passages and kittens being hurt??! I about can't wait for this year to be
over with!

That's good news that he's home, continuing purrs until he's fully
recovered.

"They" tell us we are in this life to learn lessons. I hope they keep the
little lad safe from now on. Will continue to send purrs for a good
healing. MLB

Our purrs will continue until Tigger has recovered completely. Bouncy
Caliban (who should have been named Tigger for his bounciness) sends his
rumbly purrs, and Mir just spent a few minutes on my chest (a rare thing
these days) and purred her silent little purr.

Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

Purring away for Tigger and his slave in training. As for being
disfigured, don't know what that would be. I've know a couple
"disabled" and/or disfigured cats, and while they sure didn't know
they had a problem. The first one who comes to mind is my great aunt's
cat "Tripod" who lost a leg as a kitten when a clothes dryer was being
moved. He surely didn't realize he was handicapped in any way, at
least not until he was about 18 YO and arthritis slowed him down.

Glad to hear he's okay- we've had too much bad news this month!
