Keesha Update

We are now at 17 days post-surgery for Keesha and she is doing remarkably well. It was literally like a weight was lifted from her and her healing has been 100% so far. We had most of the stitches removed this morning, leaving about 5 in there still for another 4 days to keep the healing process going on the large incision area. He wants to prevent the skin from coming apart in this "high-tension" sight. The redness is from her itching at the area - she wears a fashionable t-shirt all the time to prevent her claws form getting into the incision and ripping it apart.
Now we just have to wait for this thick coat to grow back in these two areas and then I'll have my fluffy Keesha back! I am so thankful that she is recovering so well, now I just hope that the cancer hasn't spread elsewhere throughout her body and that she will have a very comfortable and happy few years still with us.

Grandpa Sparks recommends two five minute cuddles and hugs a day. Followed by a good petting!!
