Helping my FIV+ Cat to heal
Posted: Tue Jan 19, 2021 2:27 am
We adopted our cat from a family who was moving out of the country. They rescued her from outside.
They told us about a spot on her paw pad that she always got at and would make bleed. Fast forward to 2 years after us having her, the paw problem got worse. Found she gas FIV and it just was never healing. They did exploratory surgery and found that toe bone to be severely damaged and amputated the toe. They also removed a cyst from her shoulder. 2 weeks have passed and it hasn’t healed AT ALL. It’s like she just got out of surgery. She’s going back into surgery in the morning to get it all cleaned out and stitches back in both wounds as the paw ones popped open.
We can not love this cat more. She is the most amazing cat we have ever owned. How to we help her get through this? It’s so hard watching her even though she is such a troooer!
