First Alice, now Dita!

[Sianne_and_Alice]

First Alice gets an abscess, and I have to spend $300 dollars to get drains put in and super antibiotics for it.

And now I see Dita's paw has swollen to about 4 times it's usual size and she's limping, she got a cut and it's infected!

So now I'm going to have to take Dita in to the vet tomorrow. And Alice, but not at the same time because they still can't get along!

Are they conspiring or something?!

 

[sphynxie]

Oh no- I'm sorry this is happening to you. I hope this visit won't cost as much and will heal quickly. Keep us posted...

 

[Inferno12]

Im so sorry that you are having to deal with this now. I am sending healing thoughts your way. I hope all goes well and it doesnt cost you too much money

 

[abbyknitter]

I'm sorry I hope everything goes alright. sending prayers your way.

 

[NakedNinja]

Poor Dita!

Yes, it's a cat conspiracy. Just as Gabriel was recovering from his mastectomy, Gary decided ribbon would make a lovely snack, and had to have surgery to remove it. They conspire and plan it.

Keeping both babies in my thoughts.

They also wait until this time of year when money is tighter than usual. I hope Dita is a cheap easy fix!

I hope so too! Though I hate looking like I'm just cheap. I swear I'm not. Just broke......I'd do anything for them.

 

[Gizzymom]

WE all know that you are not cheap... money is tight for just about everyone at this time of year!!

And 1 unexpected vet visit per month is more than enough for anyone!!

Good luck at the vet tomorrow - I hope Dita is an inexpensive, easy fix. I also hope that both girls get on the road to wellness and peace together for the holidays!!

 

[TotenEngel]

Good luck with both the girls, Get Well Soon!

Praying all will soon be well again, and that you don't have to sell your firstborn to pay the vet bill. I know how devastating unexpected vet bills can be. No one thinks you're cheap--we're mostly all broke.

 

[ilovemysphynx]

I hope it is nothing big. Wonder if Alice bit her back?
Try to have a better day!

 

[ktate88]

I'm sorry you have all this, especially this time of year!

Good luck to you and the girls. Sending well thoughts to you all!

I dunno. She has a tiny cut on her paw, and around it the skin is between red and pink (too dark for pink but not quite red). It's hugely swollen. When I squeeze it, it's oozy and icky. She's obviously tender, but still able to walk. But I'm not the "wait and see" kind of person, so I insist on taking her to the vet just in case (husband thinks I should wait to see if she gets better).

I'll let you all know what the vet says, I hope he can see me today.

 

[klreese]

oh dear!! poor kitties- when it rains it pours right? wishing them both a speedy recovery (and a cheap vet bill)

 

[wright878]

Egads, when it rains it poors. Maybe your vet will give you frequent visit points! Good luck our thoughts are with you, no one has extra money this time of the year.

LOL, I like the idea of a loyalty scheme.... might mention that to our vet next time we are there!!!

Oh sweety, I didn't mean to imply you were cheap. It's just that everyone's money is tight, this time of year esp. And there's nothing wrong about hoping you get through a medical crisis as financially unscathed as possible. We all hope that! It doesn't make you cheap, it makes you responsible.

Again, I do apologize for any hurt feelings I caused you, that was never my intention.

 

[gizmo6370]

Get well soon girls!

It's okay. I just feel bad, people keep telling me that if I can't afford to fix my babies when they need me that I shouldn't have them. It makes me feel terrible. I just don't want to be a bad Sphynx mommy. I know you didn't mean it to be mean. I'm just stressed.

 

[Sianne_and_Alice]

Well the vet trip went smoothly.

Dita was given an antibiotic injection and I have to soak her paw daily to get any infection to drain.

Alice is healing great, but we got more antibiotics just in case so it doesn't come back. The wounds are deep so the vet wanted to be sure.

So $150 dollars later, my babies should be fine! And right now I'm just happy that they will be okay.

 

[marlene]

I'm glad to hear they're on the mend.

 

[lawgrl]

Oh no! Two sick babies at once is no good! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you caught it early and it's something easy to fix...surprise vet bills are enough to stress anyone out.

Poor kitties and poor kitty momma!

 

[MissMySphynxBoys]

Hooray for antibiotics!
I hope your girls are feeling better soon.

 

[Gizzymom]

So glad to hear that both Alice and Dita are on the mend... Now tell them they better learn to get along or Santa will not be coming this year!!!

 

[ktate88]

Glad to hear it wasn't as bad as we were thinking. Hope they keep getting better and leave each other alone!
