Update: If anyone experiences a problem similar to this, I implore you, get the cyst, WHATEVER, the vet tells you it is, removed while it is still relatively small. After 2 nights at the vet, she allowed me to see and take Azrael home last night.
He is Frankenkitty. The suture on his leg must be 3 inches long. They had to remove so much
I have to keep him and the other kitty separated when I am not around, and he has to wear the dreaded "Elizabethian Collar" to prevent him from aggravating the sutures.
My main concern is his energy level though. He is jumping around to and fro like his old self, and I am afraid he is going to tear them.
I'm glad he is home and he is OK, but I was just surprised and the extent of the surgery and recovery period.
He's going to be a handful

Hope you are well, and that your kitty is healing up fine. We took Donut to the vet yesterday, and I'm so glad we did because I didn't realize that she can actually be cured by spaying her! I was so happy to hear that. There are risks to surgery, of course, but he referred me to another vet who spays rats all the time. The only question is, is it indeed a tumor in her uterus? Most likely, yes, but they can't really know for sure until she's opened up. I think it's a tumor, just based on how common that is in female rats. So, it's not all that bad! For once, I took a rat to the vet, and heard that there's hope! For once I left the vet office not in tears! Wahoo!
Oh, cute little Azrael, how he must hate those annoying collars. When I was volunteering at the vet clinic I had to wrestle many a feline to get those things on. Cats are strong lllittle fuckers too. I can't tell you how many times I shed blood!
Anyway, keep us updated, and give him a pet for me!
