Poor Stanley

[Jane]

On Thursday night my poor little kitty Stanley (not even a year old yet) was attacked by some kind of dog or coyote . He's gonna be alright , but he's got a large (and deep) wound on his belly. He's in a lot of pain, but the little soldier isn't showing it, and he's been making a real effort to get around the house. We took him to the vet on Friday. They kept him overnight, then he came back home on Saturday. They decided not to give him any stitches, but to let the wound heal itself. We had to take him back today though, because he hasn't been drinking much and he's having a lot of trouble using the litter box.

Stanley's back home now!

He's still in pain, understandable, due to the size of the injury. But he's happy at least. When we brought him through the front door he started purring like crazy. Not long after he was roaming all over the house. It's gonna be a long time before he fully heals, but I'm so happy that he's doing as well as he is.

He's gone We had to let him go on Friday, the vet said there was nothing we could have done. There was the option of a $2,000 surgery, but even that wouldn't a
have helped him. I miss him so much. I've been crying non-stop. My little Rusty is so confused and has been wandering the house calling out for Stanley. He was only a year old, it's just not fair
