for those that are interested!
We changed the Robert Jones splint on my cat this evening and he was adorable at first..........he led there purring as I undid the old one, until we got near the bottom and i finally got to the dressing to find that the dressing was held on with thick sticky plaster that I couldn't peel off (the stuff that really hurts when you pull it off) by this time the cat was hissing, yowling, biting and scratching!!!!!! I'm glad I wasn;t the one holding him! Anyways I couldn;t get the dressing off so I just did a new robert jones on the top and hoped for the best, because he isn't allowed to bend the leg and at any mo we were in danger of losing him, its not quite at the right angle but its dressed
Now all I need is any good ideas for getting alot of stickiy plaster off quickly off a wiggling, hissing biting moggy??? I am planning ahead for next week!
Also how do vets expect you to do these things yourselves!?? I mean they did their dressing and splint under GA yet they expect you to get sticky plaster off a cat whilst it wide awake and not very happy!
