Yesterday, in this posting, I explained about our youngest (at 12 years 7 months) rescued cat, her cancer, and her forthcoming leg amputation because of a tumor that encircled the leg.
She had to be hydrated and get her temperature down, but that went well and she did not need a transfusion before the surgery, and based on the reporting from the surgeon, probably will not now afterward.
She did very well, she is recovering, and tentatively we will bring her home midday tomorrow. She will have to be kept in a confined space for about 10-14 days, so we will probably close her in a downstairs room that still has carpeting - there is some concern about her being on a slicker surface (such as hardwood) until she adjusts to being only three-legged. Our oldest cat, LionEl, with whom she is very close, will be confined with her, and the third cat, Elsa, who can be a bit of a handful, only allowed to mix when we are around.
Felicity will also need oral medications several times a day, but these are liquids which are much easier to administer.
We thank you all for your support and your concern.
Peace.
