Hurt Foot Friday

posted by Ernie on Nov 27

So you’re probably wondering what this is doing on my foot. The day before Thanksgiving, me and Wally were wrasslin’ and somehow my claw got caught in something and ripped out completely!! Ouch!!!! It was bleeding which freaked mom out (and me too…just a little bit). Mom called the v-e-t and they said “bring him in!” So off we went!!! They cleaned it up and gave me a shot (ouch again!!) and then wrapped up my foot like a mummy! Y’know, it’s hard to walk with this thing on. Now I’m all discombobulated and I’ve spent the last 2 days trying to get it off!!! Licking it hasn’t made it budge a bit. Anybuddy wanna teleport over and help me???

Well, one good thing about it…I got extra turkey because mom felt sorry for me!

Update: I convinced mom to take the bandage off (she obviously felt sorry for me, watching me limp around) and my paw looks pretty good! I don’t know if the claw will grow back, but I’ve still got 5 more on that paw that I can use!! Thanks for all the purrs, too!!

Ouch, poor Ernie. A hurt paw and on top of that a silly bandage. It’s hard to climb trees with that on your foot.
Could you ask your mum to sign it for us? Then at least you know you are not the only one feeling sorry for you.

Ernie, that must have hurt so much! I would teleport over and claw and chew that thing off of your paw, but mom says I can’t…you need that to help you heal. Be patient and keep on workin’ it. I see lots of treats and handouts for you this week!

O mai goodness, Ernie. You haz a big ouchie! Maybe this will make you feel better, Mom has a big ouchie on her finger. Our cousin Cosmo Kitty bited her when she was holding him and then all of a sudden he saw a stranger walking towards him and Mom says he just kind of freaked out. I know. Weird, huh?

So, do you feel better yet?

Oh Ernie, that must have been really scary. We’re sure it bled like hell. You poor guy! Is the nail gone forever or will it grow back? Not that you have sparse nails on your polydactil paws, but… ; ) Please accept our very healing licks betweeen the ears.

Ernie, you need much more turkey. Only turkey will ease that sore paw and make a new claw grow. A really big, roasted turkey – just for you!

Get well soon Ernie fella!

O noes, Ernie! Poor baby! Yes, I guess with all your toes and claws, one less won’t make too much difference. It must have been very painful, though. I’m glad you’re getting on better now.

Don’t dig in too deeply with your claws from now on! My kitties do that and get stuck all the time.

OMC!!! I hope you’re getting tuna every day now? (we think tuna will help the claw grow back – tell your human)

Sparkle Says:

Ouch, that sounds like it was painful! But the remedy and bandage doesn’t sound like it was a picnic either. Glad you convinced your human to take off the annoying bandage – but make sure you keep that wound clean! Dig around in your litter box with the OTHER paw for now!

Poor Ernie, hurty paws are no fun. We are glad your mum took your bandage off. Did you walk around waving your paw in the air when you still had it on?
Harry Spotter Says:
November 27th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
That must of hurt! You look so sad with your paw all wrapped up like that. The one good thing is that mom felt sorry for you and gave you extra turkey. Glad you paw is better.

Ouch! That must have really hurt. I know the shot hurt too but it should help your foot heal without getting all sicky.

Dearest Ernie,
From one panther to another, I sure hope your owie stops hurting soon. Your mom is pawsome for understanding that the bandage had to go. Watch out for that Wally brother of yours. Was he out for blood or was that just an accident? I sure hope it was just an accident between brothers. No matter how it happened we all at home hope you continue to heal super quickly.

November 29th, 2009 at 6:54 am
Oh Ernie! Glogirly hasn’t let me look at my friends blog posts for a couple days… a couple days go by and whoa, you’ve lost a claw for Cod’s sake!!! I hope you’re feeling better. At least you have five back-ups. Still, not fun.

mew!
