Evening 93 with Sam 🌙

I squatted down to feed Flamingo, and Sam immediately jumped onto my back like a parrot and started making biscuits on my shoulder like I hadn’t just survived an entire side quest trying to get home. 😭

Earlier tonight, on my way back from the meowhouse, I found a seagull with a broken wing. I am not a fan of seagulls, but I also can’t just walk past something so sad. He let me touch him, which honestly I did not expect. A guy passing by stopped to help, and together we carefully got him into a box.

I told him about a little paradise for injured seagulls, and we left him there safely. 💀 It is Saturday evening, I can’t get help for Buddy, Sam or anyone else in Burgas at this time.

I crawled over a fence to get him inside, but the guy got worried and climbed over after me while making SO much noise — unlike me, super stealthy — so we almost had the cops called on us 😭

But after some yelling, I stayed kind, explained everything, and got away completely scott free.

I don’t have a single photo. Just a pair of new but torn leggings. May he go in peace ♥️ rather than being looked at in disgust and hate.

Finally, your Sammy update ♥️

As many of you have noticed, Sam is now wearing a cone because he scratched some of his healing tissue after some of his stitches came undone, which created a condition called a ranula. A ranula is basically a pocket of saliva that forms under the tongue or around the jaw area when a salivary gland or duct gets damaged or blocked, causing saliva to collect where it shouldn’t.

Our doctor from out of town, the wonderful Dr. Lesheva, said that the only person in Burgas who may be able to do this procedure for Sam is the doctor from Burgas Vet. Burgas Vet is where Grizzly passed, so this is emotionally difficult for me, but Sam needs this care.

Dr. Lesheva said she is going to write to Dr. Milev and see if he can help Sam. From what I understand, they will likely drain the fluid and possibly try to unblock the pathways causing the buildup. I don’t have all that much information about the procedure yet, but I hope to have more information by Monday.

Right now, we’ve also added red light therapy into Sam’s treatment. Red light therapy can help support healing by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, easing discomfort, and encouraging tissue repair, so we’re hoping it gives his body a little extra support while he recovers.

I also gave him a bath today. He’s become a lot more sensitive around his mouth and healing areas, especially when I have to clean them, but we’re learning together. I’m trying to move slowly, gently, and with as much calm as possible so he feels safe and doesn’t become too overwhelmed or irritated. He’s incredibly brave, and despite everything, he still leans into love.

Thank you for continuing to love this sweet boy through every step of his journey. Sam is deeply loved, deeply cared for, and still purring his way through it all. ♥️

Day two with ♥️

I hate having to isolate them in cages. It feels a bit inhumane to me, but I know it’s temporary and much safer this way. Also, I am grateful that I can do this when needed.

He didn’t eat yesterday, but he ate today. He ate his antibiotics, so I am over the moon. He also had some yummy-tasting anti-inflammatory syrup and eye drops that but he still hasn’t come out of the kennel inside the wire cage yet so I haven’t given him those yet.

He let me touch and pet him, and he gives me soft blinks. 🤍
