Home Sweep Home

I've just had a phonecall from my Mam telling me that Sweep, minus a leg, is back at home. This was such a relief to hear, as Sweep isn't a young cat and I was quite worried that he wouldn't make it through the operation. He's apparently feeling very sorry for himself, but then I'm sure we all would if somebody removed one of our limbs without telling us. Mam said the wound looks absolutely horrendous, but the vet assured her it looks much worse than it is and that Sweep will be back on his feet in no time.

An x-ray showed that his kneecap had completely crumbled, so amputation really was the only option. Mam has to keep a close eye on him for the next 48 hours and he has to go back to the vets tomorrow for a check up, but it looks like he's going to make a complete recovery.

Get well soon Sweep.
