[Ozymandias Update]

[tamaranth]

Have been fretting about Ozy, whom I Cruelly Abandoned at the vet's
this morning for x-rays and other undignified medical stuff. Vet has
just phoned to reassure me:
- not a broken bone, just a torn cruciate ligament. (Has my kitty been skiing?)
- he can come home this afternoon; must stay indoors, no running or
jumping; check-up in a fortnight where we discuss whether surgery is
needed. (Fortunately he is insured!)
- yes, he *is* rather heavy still, which is not helping.
- also, the Flee Spray* is not working: we will be moving on to Frontline Combo.
- boss is lovely and is letting me werk from home this afternoon and
tomorrow, so I can keep an eye on post-anaesthesia kitty.

*because you flee it

Phew!

Bloody cruciate ligaments. A friend of mine's agility cairn terrier has just had to be retired having done in a second leg after an operation on the first that took far too long to heal - meanwhile her best dog, a bit of a terrier mix, is healing after a second operation on same.

Of course, Ozy does not, one hopes, jump fences at speed.

It is something that does heal, though.

Glad not broken.

Poor Ozy.

My lazy Ozzie sends healing snoozons.

Good news!
Hope he recovers well.

I find nothing but Frontline really works; better living through chemistry

Hmm. How to stop cat running and jumping?
