long!!
I see you're back from vacay. How did Chloe do while you were gone?
Haha, yes, I was tempted to make a thread about it but felt weird about making a thread that didn't have a question.
Chloe is ok. We got home last night so she's back in her regular cage and seems happy about it. Her wounds look much better, but she still has a big bump on her foot which I'm hoping isn't a deep abscess but I don't really know what else it could be. I can't see any fluid under her skin. I'm not doing anything to her wounds now as the ones on her torso and chest don't need any kind of treatment anymore. I will probably begin warm compresses on her foot again and see if that helps.
She had something on her nose when I picked her up, but I couldn't tell if it was food crumbs or not, she doesn't have it now. No wheezing. Hoping the URI is gone and I caught it early.
She lost a lot of weight, though. About 80 grams. I know weight gain can be slow so I'm hoping she just needs to get some TLC. She's at 551 now and she was at about 630 at surgery (2/25) and was 563 about 10 days ago.
Besides that, everything else is normal. She's eating, drinking, pooing like crazy. The vet techs said that she was really friendly and sociable.
The vets were really nice to take her but I don't think they knew anything about chins. A lot of her hay is gone, but not a ton of her food (though I can't recall exactly how full the bag was). And I don't know how many chewies they gave her as most if not almost all of them are still in the container I originally put them in but that won't kill her. The one thing that really bothered me was that when they brought her to me, I was putting some of her stuff in the car and they put her on the floor (in her carrier) to check in other clients. A woman and her dog walked out of an exam room and the dog ran to Chloe and sniffed her. I grabbed her right as I was walking back in the building but the dog really could have done damage. It was just two vet techs there and there was a line of people so they seemed overwhelmed and must have just had a lapse in judgment.
They did put up with my FN141 (and she was upstairs, too), all her stuff and my multiple paged instruction print out. They also considerately isolated her in an unused office since I guess they put small animal boarders in the cat ward. They figured she wasn't too fond of cats and I agreed, although I wouldn't have let them board her in there if she was healthy anyways. They gave her her meds, treated her wounds and she only barked once that they heard so I think she was content and they tried to really accommodate her and make her happy.
So we're not out of the woods yet. I'm most worried about her foot, weight loss and making sure her URI is gone. But at least some areas are improving and hopefully with time she can get back to her normal self.
