what a day
had a busy morning today with the usual feeding, and cleaning. Then out of the blue comes screams from one of our snow Bengals that we are running on. not sure what is going on at first until we look at her rear end - anal prolapse - a really large one.
Oh my goodness how i hate to cause any discomfort to any of my fury family. I Ring the vet to talk about it whilst Tim goes for some warm water, clean dry towel, gloves, and olive oil.
Our vet confirms what we know to be the correct thing to do. She is so good as she lays in my lap with Tim holding her firm - reassuring her all the time - i gradually push it all back in - once its nearly all in it seems to go in much easier - then finally its done - all back in with hardly any blood at all.
She seems to be so relieved but she is still shaking - she cuddles up into my lap and just keeps looking into my face. I can't bear to place her down, and just sit and cuddle her for a time whilst Tim brings a carrier with a heat pad in to sit her on, and she clings to the heat. She stops shaking and seems to go to sleep - yeah right! as soon as we move to stand up she puts her head back and screams. so down i sit next to her and put my hand in the reassure her again - she closes her eyes and i decide i will sit with her for an hour so i take her into the lounge and we watch a film.
I realise she won't let me out of her site as everytime i try she screams, so i take her into the study and she sits on my lap whilst i go on the computer, and she is curled up on my lap now. Eyes closed, paws tucked under her, all cosy and warm on my lap. Every time i reach down and touch her she replies with a lovely soft purrrrrr. No food for you tonight lady, but she doesn't seem to mind, she just needs some reassurance for now.
I've no idea what will happen tonight but i suspect she will spend the night in bed with me. She is settled and happy, although it seems to have knocked her confidence somewhat.
Tomorrow she will visit the vet with me as i am taking some kittens for castration and vaccinations.
