Hiya
Just an update on my siamese cat Fawn, who developed an aural hematoma 3
weeks ago.
Yesterday we took him back to the vets to have his stitches out, which
was
very quick, tho it took 3 ppl to hold the poor cat still! (he's so
strong!)

I didn't realize he was a Siamese. Do you have a photo page, I would love
to see him.


The vet is very pleased with the final outcome and his ear looked fairly
normal (apart from being quite hairless and having lots of little red
'pinpricks' from where the stitches where!) The ear structure is very
strong
and perky, I think when his hair grows back, any deformation will be
unnoticeable.
It seems that the thickness I'd noticed last week was a bit of an
illusion...with the tubes and clotted blood, and the nurses had also
indicated when i phoned them last monday, that some swelling was normal.
I can't tell you how much happier the Fawn is! :-D
He spent hours just washing himself last night and he has stopped the
sctratching and headshaking, he seems back to his normal, fine self :-)

Wonderful news for Fawn and you too! thanks for the update. Now you can
help those who are faced with this problem, so don't be a stranger.



Yes Fawn's a beautiful, characterful, noisy, affectionate seal-point siamese
:-)
I am the lucky guardian of two, Fawn-Lea & his niece Amber-Lea (1 yr old,
cute as a button)
If you can, check out the piccies on my msnspace ...also put a photo of his
'new' ear, which is looking a bit 'crinkly' now, after the op, but we dont
care, cos it feels great to him!

I certainly feel a lot more knowledgeable on this particular problem, and
would be glad to offer the same sort of reassuring help/advice to others
that you peeps showed me here :-)

Wow, what a beautiful pair! I especially like the one of them
curled up together. Your Fawn looks a lot like a slightly younger
version of KitKat's Jasper! (I also love that "Chinese Red" sofa!)

Thanks, you are a very nice addition to the group. His ear looks like
it is healing well and I know you are relieved to see it.

Have a look at Becky's "Fawn!"

That's gonna heal just fine- in a few months you'll never know he had a
hematoma! Based on your vet's technique, I was expecting a lot worse- but
the ear looks great for only a week or two after surgery! ;-)

Experience is the best teacher. Why not make a webpage describing your
experience? It would surely help others whose cats have the same problem.

Best of luck,

Phil

I think we need to speak with Becky about Fawn's
ancestry. :') That shiny little wedge-shaped head,
that lovely mocha-to-cream fur, that inscrutable
expression~~! They may be related! Though I
imagine Fawn meows with an English accent.

****, now i'ma be late for work!!!!!!!!!



Come back tonight and we will investigate this
matter further!!

:-D lols thanks. Love Siamese, theyre like bonsai panthers crossed with
lemur monkeys :-)
Do you have any piccies of Dudley? Would love to see the resemblance for
maself.
I think Fawn does have a distinguished, sometimes stern, proper English
accent, that would suit him. He really seems to talk sometimes, makes like a
chattery-meow, specially when he's eating, like hes commenting on the food!
Amber's voice is soo girly compared to his!... but tis all music to my ears
:-)

Wow Jasper Dudley is a beauty :-)

The resemblance is just uncanny!!

His coat is soo silky looking...tho quite a bit darker than Fawn's...i'm
guessing he's older than the Fawn? Fawn started off as white as Amber & hes
getting darker each year...he's 7 now, I look forward to seeing him as dark
as Jasper, looks beautiful :-)
