Pet of the Month: Professor Higgins

This is Professor Higgins, our three year old bi-color, seal point Ragdoll.  He was a very sick boy when he first came to Quarry Ridge.  He had a serious nasal infection, but Dr. Cobelli solved his problems and he's a very healthy kitty cat now.  It takes a Ragdoll a couple of years to achieve their adult coat.  You can see his youthful coat in the photo where he's looking directly into the camera.  You can also see his beautiful blue eyes. Photogenic, isn't he? He's also a rascal.  We call him "The Lyin' in Waiter" for his habit of coming out of nowhere to pounce on us. He also likes to help us make the bed.

Case of the Month: Riley

13 year old Riley is our February Case of the Month! Riley had a benign fatty lump growing for years with no problems. We attempted to remove the lump last year. However, due to a heart arrhythmia, Riley would've been put at risk and the surgery was put off. This year Riley fell on icy steps. The injury made it difficult for Riley to walk. Dr. Stuart revisited surgery and the mass had to be removed.

After surgery the lump was weighed and it weighed in at 14 1/2 pounds!!!! Surgery was extensive lasting 3 1/2 hours. Due to a large amount of excessive skin and disturbed blood flow, the skin did not heal well, and Riley needed to go back in for a second surgery the following week. She had the incision redone.

She's doing fabulously and is recovering from the surgery, anesthesia and is walking well!!!
