    Hello to Betty's generous donors,

    Just a little update to let you know that Betty is in much better shape, as you can see from her before and after pics...

    Betty was well-behaved at the vet for a week, then she was well-behaved for a whole week at home with her cone on. After that, she started to be very naughty (climbing up the curtains, defiling my duvet), so I had to set her free, against the vet's orders (she was supposed to stay inside for 2 weeks).

    After her tantrum, Betty enjoyed total outdoor freedom for 24 hours, then decided actually inside with me is the better option after all... So after that we spent another quiet week together. Now, Betty's in great shape and I'm going back to the office.

    We still have a little medicine donated by Temuka's Vet Life, because Betty doesn't like me putting it her eye and I'm still learning to be a little cruel to be kind. Fortunately we're now getting help to get the medicine in her eye thanks to Claudia (the animal whisperer) from Amore Cafe. So on that note, it looks like Betty's healing journey is drawing to a close.

    Thanks again for your help,

    Thalia & Betty

    P.S I know she looks very grumpy & unimpressed, but that's only because she just doesn't like the pussy-razzi taking photos. She looks very peaceful & content almost all of the time.

  • Re: $961.36 Total for Betty's Care

    Please see the attached photo itemising Betty's care over the past week. The total was $961.36 and included medicine, anaesthetic, surgery and more. Thanks again, T & B

    P.S There's another separate document with a total of $47.70 for 3 nights at Vetlife's cattery post-surgery. I haven't uploaded the extra photo, because Givealittle only allows one photo per post, but I will upload it on to Facebook though.

    Thanks for all of your generous help toward Betty's care. After a week at Vetlife in Temuka, Betty finally came home today & her eyes are looking beautifully clear!

    Throughout the week she was treated with medicine before and after surgery with the final total being $961.36.

    Now Betty's resting inside for 2 weeks (Vet's orders), until her eye stitches heal. She has a bit more medicine to take over the next few days too. She's quickly learning how to move around and eat with her little cone collar, but it usually takes a few attempts.

    We'll go back to Vetlife for her final check up in a week, but for now at least, the hardest part is over. Betty's back to doing what she enjoys, eating, napping & getting pats. Thanks again from Thalia & Betty.
