Yaay! Things are good, I hope you've all been reunited by now.
I got 10 of them made so I can put a clean one on her daily and have backups while the others go through the wash.
WOW! I can't wait to see pics of the fashion show!
Speaking of pics,....
http://tripawds.....m/gallery/ I think this is where you can go to sign up for pictures,
No, that's not exactly correct. Here's a link that explains the process of adding images to the Forums. You have to either 1) upload your photos to a photo sharing site like Google or Imgur or 2) upload them to the media gallery for your Tripawds blog (keeping in mind that Tripawds community supporters get far more storage space for photos).
After the pic is uploaded wherever, copy the Image URL, then come here, reply to your post and choose the little mountain & sun icon in the editing toolbar. A popup window will appear and that's there the URL goes. You can also try pasting the URL directly into your forum post, which usually works too. If you have any questions let me or Admin know in Technical Support.

Whew, thanks guys! I was looking and looking.. you know what happens when you try to go too fast
This is YOUR area of expertise! I will see if I can copy that link and save it so that I have the correct info.

Great news on Bubbie coming thru with flying colors!! That’s ok on the moment we are human
You did great! This is a emotional journey!! It’s good to release all of that when we can!
HE HE on less claws 😉 Good thinking, all depends on the kitty! I really hope she doesn’t mind it!! So glad the plans worked and 10 is great!! Cant wait to see pictures of your Bubbie in her onesies
I hope the cardboard skirt works? Just not sure it will. We took our bed off the frame & mattress on the floor.
Purrkins recovered in our spare bedroom, he decided the closet was his place to recover. Most cats do want to hide, very normal just provide that where she chooses ! I think Bubbie will likely want to recover in the closet too!
You may or may not need to help her in and out of the litter box today. You will just have to see how she does. I helped Purrkins the first day in and out and held him stable so he wouldn't topple over.
Make sure your on schedule on your meds and know how to give them. I kept notes on my times. It helped me when I was sleep deprived!
Food ? Are you prepared for her to be fussy eating? I got assorted foods for Purrkins the smellier the better worked for us. Wet food is best in recovery you don’t need to worry so much on the water intake! You can warm her food too. I raised Purrkins food and water bowl for him. I used whatever I had on hand at the time upside down crock, books, a little stool . Then bought raised food and water bowl later.
Maybe close the blind in the room and keep it darker and quieter.
Traction is good at all times in my opinion it makes a huge difference in Purrkins having rugs!
Look forward to seeing Bubbie and if you have any questions jump on and ask ok one of use will surely get to you!
Heal Well Bubbie !
Hugs
Holly & Purrkins❤️
