Update on Merlot

Well my little fella was back at the vet again today for another x-ray to try and work out why his jaw is out of line.  Nothing conclusive was found but his plates are to be sent away for a specialist opinion.  They do however think he has nerve damage around his eye area and this means his eye isn't opening fully.  On a brighter note, his eye is changing daily.  Still no sight, but it now moves and we have a feeling he senses movement on the left side now.  It's going to be a long haul for pusskins, but I am more positive again and I'm just so relieved he's still with us. Will post another pic of him tomorrow once he's fully woken from his anaesthetic - he's still a bit groggy just now, Jx

Oh Janice I've just been reading about Merlot, the poor little darling. Nothing worse than an animal injured they can't tell you what's wrong with them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him an you. Take care.
Hugs

Hope that wee Merlot is improving - it's amazing how time can make such a difference. Many thanks for your lovely comment on my blog. The Christmas Kitty stamp is called Kitty Claws and is by Stampendous. It was one of the first I bought a good few years ago and he inks up a treat. Hugs, Tracey x
