Salam semua.
Seperti biasa petang tadi saya & isteri telah pergi ke HVC untuk melawat Harlie. Rasa rindu sangat2 sebab semalam tak sempat nak gi jenguk dia sebab kekangan masa. Masa sampai kat HVC tetiba rasa macam mak & bapak nak gi tengok anak pulak, haha. Tunggu dalam seminit dua pastu Dr Joe bawak Harlie keluar dari ward..yup, dalam bakul favorite Harlie lagi :) Sebenarnya, diorang cakap Harlie ni yang taknak keluar dari bakul dia tu. Dia suka sangat duduk dalam tu, tido pun dalam tu jugak katanye :D Harlie Harlie...
Ni dia si gadis bakul :)
Berita baik! Harlie dah boleh berlari! Yup, lari dari kitorang. Hehe. Kitorang tengah berbincang dengan Dr Joe, tiba-tiba ternampak Harlie keluar sendiri dari bakul dia. Pastu dia terus berlari meluru menuju ke arah bilik dia kat ward HVC tu...ala, siannye tengok dia masa tu. Dia ketakutan agaknya, so dia larilah ke the only tempat selamat yang dia tahu, iaitu cage dia.
Laju jugak la Harlie ni lari masa tu :) Sayu tp gembira hati saya tengok dia masa tu, sbb dah dibuktikan yang Harlie boleh adapt kepada keadaan barunya. Pastu kitorang berjaya menenangkan dia & masukkan dia balik kat dlm bakul dia.
Harlie sedang cuba melarikan diri ke bilik wad :)
Nampak tak macam ada powder putih2 kat luka jahitan dia tu? Tu actually is bedak Agnesia yang disapu oleh Dr Joe. Luka jahitan tu sebenarnye berwarna pink2 lagi, and masih macam berair sebab ada cecair keluar dari jahitan tu. Sebab tulah Dr Joe sapukan bedak Agnesia tu kat Harlie, sbb bedak Agnesia ni ada sifat2 antiseptik. Another great tip from Dr Joe :)

Sebelum pulang, kami telah membuat bayaran ke-3 kepada HVC berjumlah RM280. Sila lihat post sebelum ni utk details. Terima kasih kepada penderma-penderma semua :)
Good night Harlie, good night semua! Teruskan berdoa supaya Harlie cepat sembuh & supaya terhentinya animal cruelty di seluruh dunia kita ni! Ameen.

Greetings everyone,
Greetings everyone,
As usual, earlier this afternoon my wife & I made our way to HVC vet clinic to visit Harlie. We missed her dearly as we weren't able to visit her yesterday due to a lack of time & the haphazard nature of my daily planning. Once we got there, I suddently felt as if we were parents visiting their child, haha. Anyway, only had to wait for a few minutes while Dr Joe went to fetch Harlie from her cage in the ward. And then she appeared...in her favorite blue basket, of course. We were told that Harlie is the one who wouldn't get out of the basket. She would even sleep in it. Cute eh?
Dear Harlie
Good news! Harlie can now run! Although what she ran away from was us, I still find it to be quite an achievement. Imagine this: we were discussing something of grave importance with Dr Joe when suddenly I saw with the corner of my eye that Harlie was making her way out of her basket. She then proceeded to run towards the perceived safety of the ward, where she was at last thwarted by a closed door. My heart went out to her at this time, as I figured she was simply scared and wanted to go back to the safely & familiarity of her cage in the ward, the only place she knows as a safe haven for the past week or so. Poor Harlie...but still I was elated to see her running, as it's proof that she has become accustomed to her new condition :) Bravo Harlie! We then quickly calmed her down & put her back into her basket...

If you look closely at the first photo, you can see some whitish powder near her sutures. That's actually Agnesia talcum powder, applied to the suture site by Dr Joe as it has antiseptic properties. The suture areas are still a bit reddish & inflamed, and there was some sort of liquid seeping slowly out of the sutures. Dr Joe assured us that this is normal and it'd stop eventually. In the meantime, Agnesia talcum powder is the answer.
Before we went home, we made a 3rd payment to HVC with the sum of RM280. For more details on the current status of payments and donations, please proceed to my previous post. A hearty thank you from us & Harlie to our latest donors!
Good night Harlie, good night people. Keep on praying for a speedy recovery for Harlie for all animal cruelty to stop! I know that's a tall order but it won't hurt to hope & pray for it. :)
aww bless her, I told you she would get used to her new condition pretty quickly!! Looks like she is getting better and better and that is so encouraging!! :-) So her source of safety is the blue basket :-) How did she come to "adopt" the basket, was it yours or the vet provided it? how cute, maybe you can put something comfy, a piece of towel or blanket in it but who knows, like a typical cat she may throw it right out and insist on sitting directly in it lol!!! So she is still wearing a cone/collar as well to keep her from licking and nibbling on the stitches? I think that's a good safety measure for a speedy recovery... thank you again Dani for the update, and keep them coming!!! :-) -- Licia & Oliver
ReplyDeleteHi there Licia! Good to see you've managed to leave a comment here for Harlie :) Yes, she's on the mend now, thank God. I'm not too sure of how she came to adopt the blue basket as her own, haha. I guess the vet gave it to her on her first day there, so it's something familiar and safe for her, I think. The vet used to put a piece of towel in the basket so that Harlie would be more comfy in it, but Harlie pee'd on the towel a few times causing her stitches & underside to be damp, wet & dirty. So they've quit giving her the towel. The vet also told me they put an E-collar on Harlie when she's in her cage, but when we come visiting it's collars off :) Thanks for dropping by Licia, do check back often for updates on Harlie. Although tonight there won't be any posts on her as I'm knackered already... :(
