bitten

My cat just got spayed several days ago. after the surgery she was fine. then 2 days after she was really not good, she was sleeping all day, barle moving and not eating and sleeping. we were sure it had something to do with the surgery or with the antibiotics she was taking. we called our vet, and he came and checked her, he found that about 1/2 cenimeter of the tip of her tounge was completley red and "eaten". since we don't use strong cleaning economics at our house, we were pretty sure a spider or another poisounes bug bit here tounge when she was chasing and eating it. she can't eat dry food, so we bought here canned wet and she eats that, but slowly not in big bites. our vet says she has a possible long recovery before her tongue heals.

Awww....poor little girl. That's gotta hurt, not to mention be a major nuisance trying to eat!!

Poor baby! Ouch!! She may have bitten her tongue while coming out of anesthesia too. They can be pretty goofy.

neko is doing much much better
the damage was much lower than what the vet thought
cuz she's eating dry food and drinking (which she couldn't do at all cuz that all in the tongue)
thanks for caring so much though
