Day 08

The Chairman is doing better. From now on we’ll only have to go to the vet every two days. Her wound has been healing nicely, it’s only half of the original size now. Though it has reddened, which worries us. Luckily, we got an appointment tomorrow evening.

Another good thing, even though it sounds weird, is that she pooed. Only once so far, but it’s better than nothing. She’s getting wary of the food. That clever beast has figured out we’re mixing in the meds. So the difficulty level of treating her has increased. <___< Guess we got no other choice than leveling up as well. Somehow.

Thanks again for teh help we have gotten so far. You’re amazing! q___q

I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything the last days. It was so stressfull since I’ve started working again and got to study for next week’s exams at the same time, plus having to take special care of the Chairman. Cuddling has gotten really important these days - watching her having to go through so much makes me fell extremely sorry :(

I wish you a wonderful day/night ♥

Love, Niko

Day 04

The Chairman and I have been to the vet today. She said the wound will probably heal nicely, but it will take time. She wants us to continue having her clean the wound for another 8 days. It will be difficult since Alec and I both got to work, but luckily their opening hours are until 8 p.m. so we will make it somehow.

The vet gave me an ointment that I will have to apply on the open wound 3 times a day. At home the Chairman is a lot calmer than at the veterinary practice, which helps a lot when it comes to treating her.

I do not dare cleaning the wound myself yet since I have no professional medical experience and cannot tell what is okay and what is not. I have been surprised when I watched the vet clean the wound both because of what she let stay there and what she removed.

The Chairman has lost a lot of weight. I am happy to announce that she is eating like a horse now haha We are buying her most favourite food which is not the healthiest, but for now it is more important for her to gain weight again. Even the vet agreed so I think it is okay.

Tomorrow we will have to buy the medication, I am a bit scared of the bill since it will have to last for 3 weeks...

We appreciate every help we can get to pay the vet’s bills. Thanks to everyone who has already helped! Thanks to you we’ll be able to pay one of the five bills we got, which is amazing! I have already put all of this month’s loan into the bills and my mom has given me some money, too. I can’t believe how expensive this got, I wish you and your pets all the best and hope something like this will never happen to you. In love, Niko.

Day 03 | II

I have just picked up the Chairman. She’s better than before, more lively, but extremely annoyed by the procedures she has to go through and the cervical collar. She keeps trying to get it off.

On our whole way home she kept throwing herself around in the carrying case. She has a thing for dramatic behaviour. But she’s also really seriously annoyed.

At home she kept walking against the furniture because of the collar. She still does. It’s hard to feed her, the collar is always in the way somehow.

I put everything she needs in Alec’s room where she’ll stay since it’s the only place that’s comfortable AND doesn’t have a carpet. Until the wound is healed her toilet will be filled with tissues because cat littler is harder to get out of the wound.

And oh my god the wound... it’s gigantic. It’s not the typical wound you may be thinking of. It’s a hole. And it’s about 2/3 of my pinkies length. It needs to heal from the inside to the outside which is why they can’t sew it shut.

4 good things have happened today. 1 - She ate. Before we brought her to the vet she hadn’t eaten a thing and during those two days she had to stay over she barely ate. Today I got her her favourite food and she almost ate it all. 2 - She came to me all by herself and wanted to cuddle. 3 - For a short while she put one paw on my arm. Usually she loves to lay on our arms but she hadn’t done it ever since she started to feel sick. 4 - She’s finally home

I’ll have to go the the vet for at least one week. Each visit will cost at least 25€/$. Tommorow morning I’ll try to give her the medication she needs. I hope it’ll go well.

Day 03

The Chairman had to stay in the clinic for the second night in a row. The vet asked if we could let our cat stay there until Friday, but we decided not to. Firstly, because that would mean another huge bill (400€/$). But the main reason is, that she told us it isn’t absolutely neccesary - we had let her stay if the vet had adviced us to, though. Life is more important than money.

I’ll pick the Chairman up later today. I can’t wait to have her home again.

We’ll have to pay daily visits to the vet, though, so she can clean the wound and make sure everything is going well. They’ll charge every visit, of course. If we’re lucky, we’ll be able to treat the Chairman at home after a week of going to the vet’s. If the Chairman won’t let us clean the wound or doesn’t take the medication we’ll have to pay for 3 injections a day and the cleaning for 3 weeks.

The Chairman will also have to wear a cervical collar for a total amount of 3 weeks. She’ll also only be allowed to stay in one single room, because she isn’t allowed to move too much and her wound oozes a little - she leaves a reeking substance wherever she sits or lays.

After the wound has healed her anal gland will have to be surgically removed. They can’t do it right now because it’s all inflamed and swollen and would do more harm than good. The Chairman has a suppurative focus as big as a walnut, which for a cat is huge.

Up to this point I don’t even know if they did something about her tooth. I guess I’ll know later when I pick her up. Wish us luck ♥

I also think it’s good to have a place to talk about it, because it is bothering me a lot. I have never had a pet in such a condition and I don’t know how to deal with it emotionally. I can’t concentrate on anything.

Thank you so much for everything!

Alec and I will work on the contents of this blog in the next days. We’ll give you written updates and pictures of the Chairman. Thank you.
