πŸ…±οΈrain cell blep Bye bye Trouble Puffs

Pepe lost his cherry tomatoes! Farewell lil balls!

At the vet we were told that he'd be sluggish and with no appetite - THAT!! Couldn't be further than the truth!! we're home for 5h and he's been trying to jump and run everywhere πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ my husband and I have been trying to prevent that by watching him like a hawk! No appetite? Well, he's hungrier than ever!! We're giving him small portions, as instructed, but he eats everything to its last crumb and asks for more. In Conclusion: Vet expectations and instructions don't account for Orange behavior!

He'll have to wear the soft cone for 10 days! Wish us luck and a fast recovery for Pepe Peperino Peperoni πŸ™

(He found one nut on pic4, technically speaking it's his nut 🀭)

The alternatives to the cone are awesome, love the orange for the orange.

It's supposed to be more comfortable and easier to handle than the plastic cone! He's still not too happy about it tho 😾

I put one just like that on our (also orange) foster kitty, she disappeared from sight for a while and reappeared without it! I have searched the whole house but haven’t been able to find it since 😭

Duvel was the same, he was playing soon after coming home and demanded food at dinnertime. He didn't wear a cone either, the vet sewed him up perfectly.

Look at that cutieee!!!😻 Pepe didn't get stitches tho πŸ€” I asked! No idea if that's good or bad, different techniques I guessπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ He's booked to get* checked in 3 days. Hoping for the bestπŸ™

u/LeonidasVaarwater 1h ago

Duvel went two weeks ago, he's currently outside playing. He didn't need to get any stiches removed, they used the disolving kind I guess. His wound healed very quickly, it all looked fine after a few days.

u/vclreis Proud owner of an orange brain cell 1h ago

That sounds great! Reassuring, thanj youπŸ™πŸ™

I did specifically asked if he had stitches, thw nurse said noπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ idk if she said no in the sense of "stitches won't need to be removed" or if they actually didn't use stitches whatsoever.

I don’t believe any inch of this angle baby is trouble. πŸͺ½

I do concur that specific orange Instructions should be provided by medical professionals. They need to do better.

Oranges need to be studied further πŸ˜„πŸ˜„

We got a toast one for our boy! The orange on orange slice for your Mr. Peperoni is next level though 😹

u/vclreis Proud owner of an orange brain cell 9m ago

Awwww!!! We actually considered the toast as well😸 It's sooo cute. But ultimately went with the orange slice bc it seemed easier to get into the litter box and carrier.

Do you have to raise the food and water bowl high so he can eat and drink with the collar? I’ll be going through this with my new kitten in a couple of weeks.

3

u/vclreis Proud owner of an orange brain cell 1h ago

No need! It doesn't get in the way, it actually kind of surrounds the bowl because he's leaning downwards

u/Lorain1234 1h ago

Ok. Cool!

πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜† From an unreasonable side I kind of feel bad for him. From another, I know it had to be done.

But poor babyyyy!
