Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Charles Dickens said A loving heart is the truest wisdom If thats true Tashy and Kitty are two of the wisest animals I have ever met Kitty was brought to our sterilisation clinic after being attacked by a dog , he had an abscess on his back and is paralysed. He does have rear leg reflexes but we think his bladder may be damaged. He is on treatment and our standard 72 hour assessment for paralysis Tashy is a puppy someone dumped in the road who was then struck by a car and her leg is broken , she has had surgery and a temporary pin placed by another vet but she was very dull and depressed and came to us for post op care Kitty and Tashy adore each others company , The 2nd morning Kitty was here I found Tashy had got out of her bed and was laying next to Kittys crate and Kitty was pressed against the bars purring. I decided to take them into the garden together ( the day before I had been taking them out separately ) and the results where amazing. Tashy who had been very withdrawn since her op was suddenly animated and Kitty was purring and rolling in the sun. They were joined by a visiting local pup Mo who came in for a bath but they only had eyes for each other Kittys long-term prognosis was not hopeful due to his bladder issues , but after 24 hours with Tashy he was able to produce some urine on his own ( rather than me emptying his bladder for him ) he still has a long way to go ( they both do ) but both have made huge improvements since they met Sam Sri Lanka January 2013 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
