2 weeks after Suki's surgery

Well, I was so excited to bring Suki to the doctor this morning. She was scheduled to get her stitches removed and the doctor was supposed to tell me that she doesn't have to be confined anymore.

So... I brought Suki to the animal hospital. The doctor removed her stitches and the staples. I didn't realize he was going to have "me" hold her when he did it. She didn't even make a noise when he removed them all. He said her incision is healing well. He told me to keep her cone thing on her head for another day. I told him I have to keep it on longer because she bites at her side where I removed her pain patch. It had removed her hair and became scabby.

And now for the bad news... She has to remain confined in her cage for one more week!!! I can't believe I have to deal with this for one more week. She hates it in there. She cries all the time. I take her out and put her on the patio and she still cries. She is never happy. She wants to be able to walk freely around the apartment. He said she could come out if she doesn't jump up on anything. But, knowing Suki, that isn't going to happen. She is a bad kitty. :)

One more week of her confined.... *sigh*

Also, I have to bring her back in 4 - 6 weeks for the doctor just to "eyeball her". Hopefully, by that time she'll look somewhat normal with some hair grown back.
