Lily

As most of you know I have added a new kitty to my family named Lily when she was given to me from the neighbors upstairs because thier daughter was allergic to her. She is super cute, and VERY sweet. She is 6 months old so I took her to the Vet a couple of weeks ago to get her fixed. I was very lucky when I got Mango because he was already fixed so I've never had to experience this before and was pretty nervous and sad to be without her for a night. Well I got her back the next day and everything seemed to be fine. She was happy to be home and Mango, although very jealous to see her back so soon, was secretly happy too. I had her back for about a week before I discovered that her stiches were coming out so I took her back in and they proceeded to give her a few staples and gave me a cone for her to wear because they thought it had happened due to her licking at her stiches. So again I brought her home thinking that all would be well. The next couple of days she started to not act like her normal self. She was sleeping almost all day and her eyes were dialated and red. I actually had Dani come over and check as well to make sure it wasn't just me being paranoid. So I called in the Vet again and made another appointment on Friday. When I brought her in they came out and thanked me for bring her in and said they needed to put her into surgery right away. So me being me I started crying but they assured me that she would be ok and that they would call me right away after to let me know how it went and what was wrong (they thought it was due to her being to active), and to set up an appointment to pick her up on Saturday. Well the final verdict ended up being that she had an allergic reaction to her stiches. I picked her up on Saturday and finally brought her home (hopefully for good now) and she is sooo happy and healthy! Hopefully we have no further problems! I am upset at the vet that they didn't catch this the first time I was in there though and am actually considering switching vets! So here are a few pictures of my now healthy Lily- Cakes! =)
