Here are the photos of Xander taken before and after his operation yesterday! The first one is of him on the chair when he came in on Thursday evening, sitting on his hot water bottle ( which he adores at the best of times), and then the other two were this afternoon in his 'kennel" in the living room. We were extremely lucky that our vets had a visiting surgeon there yesterday who was able to do the operation so quickly. Xander was 'under the knife' for about 2 hours but he seems remarkably ok and in better health than last time. He has to remain in his kennel ( hate to say cage) for 6 weeks, but after 3 he can have a cuddle and walk gently around the living room with us, but not unsupervised of course. He is bored, and miaows a lot, but he is also getting some sleep too, and seems resigned to his lot!!! The scar is neat and looks fine and he is leaving it alone at the moment which is great. Genghis is not impressed and occasionally grumbles at the kennel as he passes. I guess he wonders whether he has to go in there too!!!! So this is it for Xander for the timebeing, at least he has now got two legs sorted; only two to go!!! The vet told us that he needed practically the same operation as last time so we think it is just something we have to get used to with Xander, as it can always happen again, and again.........
