Home from surgery

Snorri has a variety of medicines and a bright green cast. Although he does have a few painkillers, the majority of his drugs are for his apparent yeast infection. According to the dermatologist, he had 'enough yeast to bake bread' -- they cleaned him up and medicated him before surgery.



He's got a large cast, a pain patch and other painkillers. He's also got interferon, lamisil and Cipro for his skin. He's not too pleased about things.

Surgery

Snorri had surgery today and comes home on Saturday, provided everything goes well as far as swelling. So far, so good.

Diagnosis

Snorri is a one-year-old Devon Rex. Despite normal appearances as a kitten (first image), his left front leg has begun to grow at a crooked angle, becoming very deformed indeed over the past six months.



After a string of vets and quack diagnoses, he finally has a real one: angular limb deformity requiring either amputation or corrective surgery.





We're going the corrective surgery option, thanks to the Animal Medical Center and their orthopedic surgery department.
