Garfield Shoulder is Dislocated



The recent tale of Garfield:

Got home a few night ago and StandTall husband was standing over garfield cleaning out blood on her injured Shoulder! She bled terribly and cried out each time we lift up that shoulder. I had to take permission from my boss to see the vet the following morning before getting to work. The vet confirm dislocation of Garfield Shoulder.

How she got this to happen still remain a mystery. We thought of all possible reasons from trying to jump down from the top of our wardrobe to running or ramming into our TV settie with the glass door while trying to escape from Scofield and Smallville. They always want to play with her but her not with them!


She took injections, got the shoulder bandaged (she fought it off before I could take a picture of it). She is now taking a daily dosage of Calcium tablet. It's being almost a week now, my poor Garfield still can't use the injured front foot to walk.

HEAL QUICK GOVERNOR GARFIELD!


Updates On My Missing Molly:

Molly isn't home yet, but she is aorund. She is always out at night to eat the nips I put out there for her. If the food isn't there on time, she cries out for it. She let me, StandTall husband and the feline kids see her but she runs from us. She doesn't let us close. She is so slim now like she has lost a lot of weight due to lack of regular food because she comes out only at night! Didn't get any cage from her vet to trap her and now I am trying to see if putting sleeping tablet in her food will make her sleep off where I can get her. Wish me luck


Why is molly being so naughty? She sure knows us but she doesn't want to come home!

Oh poor Garfield ! that's quite rare that a cat has such problems ! hopefully it goes away very quick. It's really strange that Molly doesn't want to come home but comes for food. If you put sleeping pills in the food keep in mind that cats have not the same reaction as humans it takes a long time (hours acually)until it works so you would need special pills from the vet.

One time, Tryskuit's cat Diamond reached into a cabinet and then got her front leg stuck. She dislocated her shoulder when she tried to free herself. We witnessed this, but she had done it when no one was around, we would have been very puzzled.

Sorry for Garfield. I hope she recovers, soon.

As for Molly... cats can be very nearsighted and I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't recognize you.

I hope you get her soon. If a cat starves too much, it can get a feline-only diseased called "fatty liver" syndrome. Very dangerous. Chicago had this after her ordeal and we can very close to losing her.

Good luck!

EL: thanks. Will check your blog ASAP

GK: she is recovering and I am glad for that. Molly does recognise me but she doesnt want me to catch her, but I have!

My Passion, my focus, the change that I want to see in the world - is my propellent factor.
