Saturday is "Caturday"
Sep. 15th, 2007 07:23 amOne of the few days we can sleep in past 6am and we still have to get up early. Made appointment with vet for Loki to have the seroma drained again. Expect it to be the same as last week. Clear fluid, no infection. (prayers most welcome). This way the windowsill (and other things in the house) might be spared from it erupting unexpectedly again. Get him a shot of long acting anti-inflammatory, and then maybe some I can give him during the week.
Loki likes to snuggle with his head on my shoulder just under my jaw. When he was itty bitty, this was no problem. He has gotten longer and heavier, and holding him up like that gets the biceps complaining after 20 minutes. Did I mention how much he likes to snuggle?
Since keeping his activity level as low as possible is one of the key things to let the leg finish healing and stopping the seroma from building up (it's due to irritation of the tissues because of the scarring. It should stop... sooner or later). So, I rummaged through my trunk of fabric, found a rectangle of panne velvet, and made a 'kitten sling' to wear. He comes up for his snuggle, I pull one of the sides of the sling up and over him, and he rests there for 20 mins to an hour, leaving my hands free, and able to get things done.

What woke him up was me using my leg as a mouse pad with the cordless mouse.
