I do not mind the Cone of Shame






She's got a bald patch this size on the other side too. The real proper bald spot is from the fentanyl patch being stuck on so tight.

Morning - I took these at 7.20am, so forgive the total lack of 'day clothing' and you know, a semi-awake expression on my face. Lol.

There certainly isn't much of her they left unshaved, is there? She really does have a lovely, happy disposition obviously, given that she's only a little put out in the one photo. Many cats would be sulking indignantly because of the cone.

Edited to add: a friend linked to this incredible photo (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthpicturegalleries/7749780/Animal-pictures-of-the-week-21-May-2010.html?image=25) and I thought you'd like it.

They shaved a lot! I suppose it's because they use pain patches over some other forms of pain medication, so as well as the usual spots on her fore-arms/belly, there's both sides of her ribs too.

Those pain patches aren't small. There's also a fair sized spot on her neck too, which you can't see because of the cone (you can see it a little bit on the left, in the first photo).

Vet said she needed a pretty warm environment over the next week, because she'll be colder than usual, it's going into Winter, and she's healing; so we've had our heater on and the curtains open to let sun in. She's definitely gravitating towards the heat! And she lets us put blankets on her while she's sleeping at the moment.

I can't wait to get this cone off her though, probably tomorrow night, after her check up. It will have been six days since the surgery, the surgical site is healing reaaaally well, and as she has no stitches to pull out, I don't think they'll mind her having it off. She needs a good groom, anyway.

If you can set something up so she can be outside but not get sand or dirt on herself it would actually be good for her to be out in the sun for a bit. You'd have to watch that the exposed skin doesn't burn, but a short period out in the sun seems to speed wound healing in many cases.

She got some supervised time outside today in the sun (fifteen minutes), thankfully she runs inside as soon as I want her inside (Moet is a bit trickier atm). She doesn't like rolling around on the sand, so she rolled on some paving in the sun a little bit, got to see her surgery site in proper lighting and it's looking soooo good.
