Tutu and Bernie Thursday Vet Visit Update

Tutu here : First of all, we would like to thank Oui Oui and her Mommy for teaching us how to cartoonize ourselves. Oui Oui's Mommy cartoonized Bernie and MommyCat did me!

The vet visit on Thursday went very well. The vet tech whisked me to get an x-ray done and my fracture has healed and my bones are looking great! Yeay!! Now I get to run around all day and follow MommyCat everywhere.

Tutu : How do I look?

A funny feeling has come over me.....
Tutu's first experience with a silvervine leaf

I can't stop rolling around 

Help! My world has turned upside down!

Bernie here : My stitches were finally removed on Thursday and everything looks great! I'm adapting very well as a tripod bunny and I'm so happy the awful collar is finally off.....at last!

Bernie : Didn't Oui Oui's Mommy do a good job?
My Mommy added the beach balls

The stitches are OUT, OUT OUT! Yeahhhhhh!

Itchy ears...itchy ears...dang it, I'm scratching and scratching but why isn't the itch going away?
This is where I come in and help....

Thank you for everyone's good wishes. I'm doing very well!

Tutu and Bernie are now back in good health and we are so grateful for all the good wishes, purrs, woofs and prayers from everyone. Thank you so much!

Sunday Fun With Ling

I've having FUN! Yaaaaarrrrrrr!!!!

What am I playing with? Boy, aren't you full of questions today

Isn't it obvious? It's a ping pong ball, silly Mommy!

Bernie : I love me veggies! Yummy! 

Tutu Has A Friend and Bernie Update

Tutu is doing very very well, and is now allowed to run around for a few minutes, several times a day. But she isn't allowed to climb until she gets the go ahead from the vet (her next vet visit is around the first week of June).

Maddie is the same age as Tutu (4+ months) and was rescued off a busy street as a very very young kitten by her pawrents. Her pawrents want her to socialize with her own kind and while Maddie was a little wary of the adult cats, she has found a playmate in Tutu (and vice versa) when she comes for boarding!

As they are still warming up to each other, their "play" consist of some chasing (usually Tutu does the chasing - she's like a little gangster!) and lots of Halloween Cat hops. There's no physical contact...yet.  :)

Tutu : Well, well....who do we have here?

Maddie : Eeeeek! Don't sneak up like that!

Tutu : Okay, okay...let's start over. Is this better?
Maddie : Definitely! Now, ready, steady.....GO!

Tutu : AND OFF I GO!
This picture of Tutu just makes me laugh and laugh

Kittens testing the boundaries

Bernie update : The abcess on Bernie's toe just won't clear up with the antibiotics (it was also very painful) so to prevent it from spreading and getting worst, the decision was made to amputate his foot at the mid-femur yesterday (Friday). While this might seem drastic, his foot also had nerve damage and he was dragging it around so it made a lot of sense to have it removed. He came home right after the surgery and is doing very well as a tripod bunny. We have placed carpet on the ground so he has better traction and also soft towels to prevent sores from developing on his good foot. Oh, and we help scratch his left side and left ear (and keep it clean).  He is eating, drinking, pooping and peeing so all is well. Some prayers that the incision heals without a hitch would be appreciated!  :) 

Bernie : I can't see, but something seem to be missing....yup, the PAIN!
Mommy : In this photo, he isn't wearing his e-collar because I wanted to give him an opportunity to groom himself. He'll be in the collar until the wound has healed (when I'm not around to keep an eye on him)
