Last night I went up to Mom's bed and she was quite surprised that I wasn't wearing the cone of shame anymore. I managed to remove it by myself. I looked at Mom the cutest way I could so she'd allow me to sleep the night without the cone of shame. Ha! It worked!
The following morning, Mom checked on me and saw two new fresh wounds in both my ears. I scratched them. Oh cat!!! You should have seen Mom's eyes got bigger and her voice was actually hurting my eardrums. She was really MAD at me!
Mom: "Sushi!!! What did you do again??? Aren't you tired of hurting yourself? Huh??? Apple!!! Get Sushi ready! We're bringing her back to the vet!!!"
I was really scared. Mom's very mad. We drove off. I think Mom thought she's driving a plane. We got to the stabby place in no time.

Dr. Henry said nothing to worry about. I just need to wear the cone of shame again until my ears heal.
WHAT??????? Not again!!!!!!!!!!

The Mom here...
I am very frustrated because of what's been happening to Sushi. I want to remove the cone off of her already, but she keeps doing stuff that would hurt herself and end up getting wounds.
I hope this will be the last we'd be posting about bad news. I just thought Sushi's friends need to know how she's doing.
M sends your mom Hugs cuz she knows how tough it is to keep a cone of shame on a kitty or doggie. They hate it so much, when then makes you humans feel so guilty. HUGS for mom.
ReplyDeleteI know she hates wearing the cone, but she has to for now or else she'll keep scratching her ears and they won't heal. It's hard for me to see her suffer. - Pia
DeletePoor Sushi. Are you able to get the soft collars instead? Those might be more comfortable for Sushi.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried giving her coconut oil? It has lots of health benefits, including for any skin allergies.
Soft collars? What she has is plastic with velcro to stick them together. There's like velvety cloth on the edge so it's not sharp. - Pia
DeleteOh no poor Sushi. We send healing vibes and POTP. Get well soon. Have a tremendous Thursday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Poor lil girl! Some of us are just more accident prone than others... stupid question, but do you keep your pointy ends trimmed? Might help a bit. We hope it all clears up very soon.
ReplyDeleteYup. Mom makes sure they're short. But doctor said even if it's short, I scratched my ears too hard that i wounded myself.
Deleteoh no sweet Sushi. You better leave your cone on so mum can relax. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh Sushi, you had best quit picking on yourself sweet one.
ReplyDeleteSushi, Sushi, Sushi. No scratching or hurting yourself, 'k?
ReplyDeleteOh no, Sushi! You have to stop hurting yourself. I'm sorry you have to wear cone of shame for some more days. I hope your ears will heal quickly xoxo
ReplyDeleteoh Sushi,silly stop the scratching ok?xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteI think Sushi keeps doing that because she gets to see a handsome doctor!!! Sushi, please stop doing things to yourself! Love, Cody
ReplyDeleteOh Sushi, honey, why do you keeping hurting yourself? We are very worried about you!
ReplyDeleteWe don't know why you are wounding yourself....but has your mom tried a calming collar for you or pheromones? Sentry makes calming collars; they've helped both Carmine and Milita before. And we've used the pheromone plug-in defussers made by Comfort Zone/Feliway and they are also helpful. Just a thought. We want you to be happy and well <3
Those are new to me. Haven't heard anything like that for cats. I frequent the place which got all sorts of stuff for dogs and cats (more on dogs...unfair!), but still what we have here is not complete. You guys have everything there. I learn new stuff from you guys a lot. I wanted to get Sushi the Scratch Lounge, but even that is not available here. I tried Amazon but they don't ship that to the Philippines either. I wonder why...Pia
DeleteOH no, so sorry to hear this. Sushi, keep that cone on! It will come off for good even sooner! One of my cats had a cone for a month and he would wriggle out of it and it was so frustrating. Hang in there!
ReplyDeletesushi....sorree ewe haz had such a bad month with de cone; furst yur paws, now thiz....we hope thiz round with de cone iz de last N de blessings oh R pal St Francis two ewe az all wayz ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteSushi, Are you stressed out about something? Is that why you keep hurting yourself? Do you need some kitty prozac? We are worrying about you, sweetie. We'll be keeping you in our purrs and prayers, and we are sending all our love. Mau had to go to the vet today 'cause he has a fat lip!

ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon so you won't have to wear that awful cone.
ReplyDeleteWe hope you feel better soon, Sushi.
ReplyDeleteSushi, we're so sorry you have to wear the cone again. Does your vet have any explanation as to why you are doing this? Maybe you have allergies and your scratching yourself too hard. Ernie has allergies and when they get bad, he'll chew on his paw pads and make them bleed.
ReplyDeleteWe don't want you to hurt yourself any more.
Vet said my paw pads are very sensitive. I first hurt my paw with my ess which Mom gave away already. Then the next was wounded again and got infected. Mom noticed because it smelled. The third one, which was the recent one, Mom noticed I was limping and smelled my footsie. Dr said I get wounded which is normal, but i lick them too much. Dr said i might be stressed too. The ear wounds, well, after I got the cone off one night, I started scratching them and there you go. I don't chew on my paw pads like Ernie does.
DeleteWe are so sorry to hear that you have to wear the cone again. Maybe if you got a soft one it would be more comfortable - they are like this one: http://s1.hubimg.com/u/5650336_f260.jpg
ReplyDeleteDelilah had to wear one of those when she had surgery. It was must better than the plastic ones, as it is soft and bends.
Get to feeling better soon! Hopefully the next post we read is good news :)
Thanks for the link. Lucky are the cats there. We don't have those here.
DeleteNot again, Sushi! We hope you feel better soon. And that this is the last visit to the vet for a while!
ReplyDeleteSushi, you must be good!
ReplyDeleteBetter be careful, beautiful Sushi.
ReplyDeleteAwww, Sushi we are so sorry you has to wear the cone of shame. But you mom bean needs to keep you from hurting yourself. We is sending purrs you heal up quickly.
ReplyDeleteSasha, Sami, & Saku
