The Whelan's

He came thru his surgery much better than the vet thought he would and he is now home and recovering comfortably. He said the tumor was the size of a green grape and wedged tightly in his ear canal. Ouch! No wonder he was so grouchy. This morning I easily gave him his pill and ear drops and he still was purring and happy to see me. We haven't heard him purr in a long time and I am so thankful that he is going to be ok. Now when you see the photo you are going to be wondering what happened to his furr. Well, since he was sick he stopped grooming himself. The furr on his hind quartered started to get matted and no amount of brushing would break it loose. I asked the vet to trim him and he said he would give him a lion cut. I said ok not knowing that it meant nearly shaving him bald except for his feet, head and half his tail. Needless to say we were shocked when we saw him. Hopefully it will grow back before winter or he will need a kitty coat. The cone around his neck is to keep his claws off his ear. Thanks for the well wishes, they apparently worked.
