A healing night

[susandennis]

Biggie's incision is ok. It's still got a couple of raw places and if he were an outdoor cat, I'd be trussing him up. But, he's healed up just since yesterday. More eye keeping but I think this is, at least, and gratefully, the disaster that didn't happen. Whew.

excuse me, please, this is none of my business, but Biggie can get kidney colds sitting on the cold. We have a lot of cats and cats with kidney problems in Moscow, especially those who were taken home from the street. My veterinarian friend says that yes, this is so - the cat lay down somewhere and chilled his kidneys. My cat just has kidney problems, I took him from the street when he was little. I do not allow him to lie on the cold tiles in the bathroom, in the draft.
I apologize once again for the unsolicited advice.

I'm glad Biggie is getting better!

How interesting. I have never ever heard of that. I did a quick google search and discovered that it does not appear to be prevalent here. I will certainly ask the vet next time we go.

But, for now, I honestly could not keep Biggie off a cold floor if I wanted to. He does spent most of his outside time up in the cat loft which is wood and outside isn't really that cold here (right now 43 Fahrenheit/6 Celsius).

I love your humble volunteer of information. Thank you!

maybe, indeed, kidney disease in animals is more common in Moscow than in America. Our climate is colder and damp.
I specifically asked my friend a veterinarian about kidney diseases, because I had a collie dog with chronic pyelonephritis.
Anyway, Biggie is recovering, which is very good!
