Well when I saw the pictures of Sam and how cute and fluffy he is, I had to contribute. :-) I figure I got extremely lucky having a dad for a vet so I can donate too.

Sammy Update 7.30 pm Saturday


Earlier this afternoon we secured Sam's enclosure to our floor with a whole bunch of duct tape :) Which worked ....

until I went out the room for a few minutes ~

and when I came back in because he was having a Sammy
"I wanna get out here fit" there he was front and back legs up on the bars of the cage! OMG I freaked and quickly unlocked the gate to get him off the bars ~ but before I could reach him he fell backwards ~ not landing on his feet :(

Gabe and I were both so worried that he had further hurt himself but after a few minutes we could tell he was okay

This boy is a WORRY!

So what we did was pick him up how the vet showed us and took him out to the sunroom ~ which is a flash name for a little extension on the back of our house that Sam and Koru always get locked up in at night-time together ~

We had Sam proofed it ~ took out the couch and chair and anything else he may want to try to get up on ~ just left some soft bedding for him to lay down on ~ and put his litter box out there with him

He settled right down ~ didn't walk around ~ and was content to just lay and look out all the windows at the backyard and the birds in the trees :)

So I think what I will do is split his time between the enclosure and the sun room ~ that way he will begin to know that he doesn't have to be in there all the time and can still enjoy the sights and sounds of the outside world without being out :)

Oh, and when I just checked on him through the window from inside into the sunroom there is a big pile of poop in the litter box ~
woohoo ~ I guess he could "go" properly when he relaxed a little :)

I think that healing for his soul is as important as healing for his body and I believe that stress is the worst thing for him ~

Mr Whiskers wants you all to know how much he appreciates all your kindness and care that you have shown him and will try to stay out of any kind of trouble!

Love Lily and Sammy

Wow, Lily, that's awesome! It sounds like he's turning a corner, for the better. :D I'm sorry he hurt himself, but I'm guessing he must be feeling a bit more like himself...

Sorry I've been off-line most of the day. I checked in and updated my blog a few minutes ago:

It was greytdogz.etsy.com

good evening! (Hi Raynee!)

Posted at 10:13pm Sep 19, 2009 EDT

Hi all, went to town yesterday and was busy catching up on chores most of the day here.. I wanted to stop in and say I'm still vigilant in my positive sends to Lily and Sammy for healing..now it's time to gather and feed my five furries.. so goodnight for now..so glad things are moving in the right direction!!

Posted at 10:50pm Sep 19, 2009 EDT

I was just thinking this ...

Actually I'm kind of surprised that Sam's moving around like he is after seeing the Xrays from the vet ~ she showed us "normal" bone placement and then Sammy's and his is really messed up ~ he is better on his left side than his right ~ it's like his leg gives out on him if he tries to turn and the movement is strained ~ it's like it won't go around properly ~ hard to explain

I will be looking forward to taking him to the vet's again in a few days so they can give us their opinion ~ hey wouldn't it be cool if they basically said that they couldn't believe how well he's doing in such a short time and that it is a miracle! All because of everyone's love and support and well wishes being sent his way :) from all of you here!

Thanks so much for everything, every single one of you :)

Love Lily

Hurray for more financial support for Sammy! :D I had another two sales, so I'm sending more along, too. :)

Lily, thanks for the update! :) I'm so glad that you found a solution that calms Sammy down and he was able to go to the bathroom properly. :) I agree that the stress is the worst thing for them. They don't understand much of what's going on, and the boundaries enforced on their life make little sense. Something familiar like the sunroom is just the thing. :)

Have a good sleep, everyone!
Sarah

That would be great, Lily! Here's hoping for a miracle! :)

Thanks so much Sarah for all your support of Sammy ~ I just know that he knows how everyone is pulling together to help him ~

I print off all the convos and read him the messages too :)
It seems to keep him calm if I'm reading or singing to him :P
He must be the only one in the world that likes my singing ~ everyone else (Gabe, my Mum etc) always begs me to stop!
