Purrkins, Brandy has been eating very well this weekend. She has been eating wet food, some dry food, and she begged me like crazy last night for some roast beef, so I gave her some. I am pretty sure her appetite is back! Yay! 🙂

Brandy is so happy to be back home! She came home and ate and drank right away! 🙂 

She has a soft cone on, but I will have to switch her to a longer harder cone because she can lick her leg, which now has a stitch on it. She can still wear her soft cone, when she is supervised. (So over night and when I go out of the house, she will have to wear the long cone. Luckily I'm not working at the moment, so Brandy pretty much has my full attention. lol. 🙂 )

Yay for being home again! The poor thing. What a trooper! I can't wait until she's all healed up for you, but sounds like her spirits are perking up pretty quick.

Brandy may not be as powerful with only 3 legs, but her back paw can still scratch me! Ouch! /:

Which is good that she is fighting, but it is starting to suck.

And I still have another week and a half of this. Hopefully that will be all.

Brandy's back leg isn't working. She can't walk. I called the vet, but she was with a client. She'll call me back when she can.

Goodness gracious Brandy!! You just love being...er...unique!

Take some deep breaths...yet again, right?? Most likely a pulled muscle, slraiy back...almost aanything along those lines! She must have pulled something trying to scratch those meds out of your hands!

Update when you can.....And don't forget those deep breaths! B R E A T H E!!

Hugs!
