Molly Update

I’ve received several text messages inquiring about Molly and her paw. Everyone’s concern is most appreciated. So I figured that since I blogged about Molly’s boo-boo, then I should report on the outcome.

The Princess is fine.

Molly wore a bandage on her foot for three days. The bandage couldn’t get wet. So naturally, it rained those three days. We had to put a plastic sandwich bag over her foot and secure it with a rubber band around her ankle whenever she went outside. Ever see that really, really old cartoon where a little boy put paper bags on cat’s paws? Imagine that.

The bandage came off Saturday and the vet said that everything looked good. He did say that the toenail may never grow back all the way or may be crooked if it does. The vet called it a freak accident and we’re all still surprised that Molly never yelped.

Most likely, Molly’s favorite part of this whole ordeal is getting her medicine. No, Molly doesn’t readily take pills so we need to use Pill Pockets. These things are great and Molly thinks she’s getting extra special treats twice a day. She’ll be in for a rude surprise when the antibiotics are gone and she doesn’t get any more tasty, liver-flavored Pill Pockets.

Finally, Molly has to take it easy for the rest of the week. Definitely, no running while the toe continues to heal. Luckily, she doesn’t have an issue with that because at this stage of her life she’s pretty much a speed bump. In other words, life is pretty much back to normal.
