5/4/23 – Lenny’s rescuer contacted me after picking up Lenny from the hospital where he had his surgery. She was very concerned about the wound left after the surgery. We decided to have Lenny seen by Dr. Zalac at Orion Animal Hospital. Fortunately, we were able to get Lenny in yesterday. Lenny’s rescuer was so very pleased with the attention she and Lenny got. The doctor removed the plastic that had been put over the wound and cleaned it. Dr. Z also showed Jody how to clean the wound at home and gave her some supplies, including a soft cone. The doctor advised to also keep him in t shirts. She was also given more pain meds and advised if the wound doesn’t start to shrink in size in a week or two, she should return for follow up. She also advised to change the litter to ‘newspaper’. Jody was so appreciative of the time spent to explain everything to her. Dr. Z said that cats are very good at healing abscess wounds even though it looks massive. Paws crossed that it closes as everyone hopes. Here are a couple of photos after Lenny’s visit to Orion Animal Hospital. I do have a post surgery photo but it’s a little graphic. Thanks for all of your prayers and support. – diana.
