Two Weeks
We’re getting so close to the end, we can nearly taste it! Two weeks from Monday, Ida gets her jaw un-fused at the vet and she can eat like a normal kitty once again! By now, after six weeks of tube feeding, sweater-wearing, and Cone of Shame-donning, ALL of us are sick of poor Ida B.’s state of being. The girl is ready to EAT!
About once a day, we give Ida a bowl of food to lick. She doesn’t seem to get much actual food in her mouth, but she enjoys the taste and the action of eating. At least she doesn’t recoil in pain any more.
She has been unbelievably patient throughout this whole ordeal. Ida seems to have grown accustomed to the e-collar, and is drooling much less these days.
We feel like we’re in the home stretch now, and we cannot WAIT to have this final procedure done so she can go back to being a normal, happy, active kitty!
Once she’s amply recovered from the jaw un-fusing, we will schedule routine procedures like a spay, vaccines, and other checkups. Please continue to consider donating to Tenth Life to help cover these costs, as they add up very quickly.
