Old Lady Survives Surgery!


Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Sassafrass survived her surgery! Poor baby had a huge hematoma that developed on her ear . . . evidently very painful. She had to go under the knife at a local Japanese Vet office and made it through just fine. She will need some extra TLC for a little while, but I don't think it will be any problem to dole that out! :)

well I'll be darned! How would a 'housecat' get something like that? Maybe she scratched her ear to hard? Sure happy she is back home to be pampered and petted. poor kitty.

Evidently, the combination of scratching and shaking her head broke a blood vessel in the ear. It ballooned up, filled to the max with blood. I guess she had a lot of gunk inside her ear that was causing irritation. She's not deaf after all! Just dirty ears!
