Kitty Surgery

My 15 year old cat, Calvin (who prefers to be called The Moo), had surgery to remove a growth today. He is NOT a happy boy with the e-collar on. The incision is about as long as my index finger, but the growth was a little smaller than the size of a US quarter coin. He’s got to wear this collar for 10-14 days. Poor doodle! We get the biopsy results later in the week.

NOTE: The incision picture on the right is not for the squeamish!

In case you’re wondering, Moo is a 17.7 lb cat! He’s a mutt, but we think he’s got some Maine Coon and some Norwegian Forest Cat in him. When he stands on his hind legs, his paws can reach the kitchen counter!
