Greyt news but we still keep thinking of both of you and hoping for a full recovery for Twiggy and strength and much positive energy for mom.

Sorry for butchering the english language. I try to keep the mistakes to a minimum.

Any advice on what to use to clean her up?

 

I just got her outside a few minutes ago and she stood, squatted & peed 100% on her own, :confetti However, she still lets loose while laying down sometimes, and I want to make sure she stays as clean and dry as possible. Earlier I used a paper towel with some nature's miracle, followed by very watered down paper towels. But, I'm guessing this isn't a very good option. Should I get baby wipes, or something else?

Baby wipes are OK. In a pinch, hypoallergenic makeup remover wipes - if you happen to already have some. Otherwise, a damp cloth will be alright, Mom.

You might consider getting some panties for her temporarily - usually used for heat cycles, but can be used for incontinence, too.

 

There are also hospital bed pads you can put down on her bed - they hold up really well, are washable, and are ususally bigger than other types of pads. Or puppy pads, in a pinch.

Thanks Ducky, I do have some of those and was thinking they might work.

 

Chris, I have multitudes of both of those, lol! I have more or less carpeted my entire downstairs with washable incontinence pads, & have her bed innards covered with a waterproof mattress pad & covered with multiple washable pads. I also have disposable pads under her, so she is pretty well covered!

 

I just want to make sure I'm using safe stuff to clean her up with because I can't get her to a bathtub right now. Thanks!

So glad she is home and likely tumor free! Hope her recovery continues!

 

As for cleaning her up, I use damp rags and unscented baby wipes here.

So glad to hear she is home! :yay

 

Unscented baby wipes work well, or just a damp washcloth.

 

The two of you are still in our :hope
