Ugh

Really worried about my little ratty Bridget tonight.

After looking so ill after her tumour-ectomy on Thursday, she finally rallied late on Saturday, I thought she looked quite good on Sunday. But she seems to have gone downhill today. She's quiet, lethargic, puffed up. I bathed around her stitches with saline tonight, to get the pee off her fur, and under the skin was just black and purple - it looks like great big blood blisters. And she's not taking her nutrigel and soy milk very readily. I'd be in tears if it weren't for the fact she ate a cornflake just now.

If she survives this, I hope the tumour doesn't grow back. No way could I put her through this again. I feel so mean.

*hugs Claire* I'm sorry honey. I hope she gets better soon

Thanks. I hope so, too :o(

Poor baby. I don't have an affection for mice that you do, but I don't like any animal in pain like that. I hope eating the cornflake is a good sign. ::hugs::

Poor babies, the both of you ... it's possible that this is just the healing process, not a sign of anything too bad. Our rule with our pets is that as long as they're eating, it's still okay ...

I'm hoping like hell she's all right, C.

I slept beside her on the sofa last night (I had to - hubby was blowing his nose every five minutes in the bedroom and keeping me awake!). She is still with us, and she ate quite a bit this evening. I am keeping her warm with a 60watt bulb. I hardly dare to mention that her tummy looks a little less bruised today. Also, I think she's a bit lethargic because she's bored. I would be, too, stuck in a plastic picnic hamper with nobody to play with. If she looks better later in the week, she can go back to the big cage with her buddies.

Thanks for the good wishes :o)
