Just a suggestion get some stinky fishy canned food. We had good luck with chicken and herring, tuna and salmon. The stinky part gets past those pain meds. Kerren Mona's Mom gave Mona wet kitten food in recovery. Great idea its high in calories. Purrkins never begs for scraps either;) But he does love tuna! I do not feed him Tuna on any normal basis but I Knew I might need to pull out all the goodies in advance and I was so glad to have it on hand. Purrkins ate for me, not like normal but he ate! Thats the best part.

Check out his blog http://purrkins.....ns-is-home

we documented a lot of his journey. Might give you a better idea. There are videos on there and Purrkins has a Youtube channel too:)

We did all those to help other's see how we did and are doing. I know when we were faced with this decision , I was just sick, nervous so upset there are no words. Just know we understand what you are going thru!

I read trikitty blogs and watched videos and that helped me see yes things will be ok. They will be! The first day home was the worst for me, I was not prepared for Purrkins to flop and flop, Just a heads up . Bob may not? I would prepare for some face plants as he learns. We had some foam exercise mats down since we have hard floors. If you have carpet great!

Im not sure about he laundry basket for recovery? Not sure he will be able to get in and out of that. Really shouldn't be jumping, I know they are cats we just have to try to restrict activity. Bob will be able to get in and out of his basket later, Purrkins gets in his and he has a laundry wicker basket he sleeps in. I would try to come up with another little safe spot to recover in that Bob does not have to jump in and out of.

We are all here , your never alone in this! Let us know when you get the call Bob is recovering. Stay pawsitive and stay busy today. 

And yes lots of chocolate or whatever helps soothe you:)

LOL whatever works just be sober to pick up Bob😉 Yes thats a good thing Bob is already on 3 he will have less learning to do.

Just keep in mind he will be on 3 legs and try to protect those 3 legs as much as possible. Make his ups and downs safer with steps or boxes, furniture closer together. Purrkins still tries to climb our kitchen cupboards ! He doesnt try he does! Its not a good thing, he can't get down safely. We ended up having to put a temporary door for when we leave and at night! The 3 legs has not stopped Purrkins in doing anything! Recovery is not easy, you will get passed that! Keep up on pain meds and think of creative ways to get Bob to eat. That would be my concern, if he is not a big eater with no favorites. We use baby food turkey and gravy to give supplements in and we used that in recovery too. Another option.

Your never alone ,you have all of us we will do our best to help you and Bob get going in your new normal life!

Purrkins did not bother his incision with the onesie , I did sew the one arm shut. We used baby t-shirts too and did the same sewed the arm shut. It was great no cone!

Hugs! Holly & Purrkins

Fantastic News! Bob is eating at the vets too! Wow thats great!

The house becomes way too quiet ! Then you think you still hear them.! Your routine has a huge gap! Things will get back to normal in a few weeks.

The best news is he is rid of that painful cancerous leg and will be home recovering  soon!  

Yeah Bob!!👏🏻

Im sorry about the loss of the of your other guys! Horrible and scary timing for you. Hang in there Bob is not joining them! 

Hugs!

Holly & Purrkins

YEAH👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉 FrankenBob is eating! Perky considering is fantastic! You might see his appetite changes since his cancer has left! 

We noticed Purrkins was really fussy with eating ,when he had his tumor. When the leg went Purrkins appetite returned to normal.

Yeah for the suture art!! Makes all the difference!! I saw a lot of horror pictures of the incision, I was preparing for those. I was pleasantly surprised with Purrkins, It was not a scary at all. 

I'm Glad to hear you feel soooo much better about the choice you made!! Bob is too;) There is art inside too you just are not seeing that !

Getting the Satellite(LOL, thats a new one) off his head and getting the onesie's will make all the difference for Bob!

Did they send you home with Pain meds too?

Take some pictures for us when you can of Bob in his new clothes😻

Keep healing Bob! 

Keep us posted!

Hugs to you and chin and ear scratches to Bob! 

Holly & Purrkins

P.S. We got 3-6 months and they were too big and moved around,

0-3 months onesie and t-shirts worked better for Purrkins.

I cut the bottoms off and the arms. Sewed the one arm closed. This was the bigger one and was to loose and moved around.
