Yesterday's cat fight
Yes, it's true. Our old man (who has trouble walking) got in a fight last night with a neighborhood cat. :-x :roll: Zener was quite pleased with himself too. :lol: He has a gouge on his forehead so off to the vet we went. She shaved the area and cleaned it out. It was a little bigger and went under the skin than we thought, so we were glad that we got the professional to look at it. We definitely want to avoid ABs. Zener was so tough that he didn't even squirm for the anal thermometer or for wound cleaning. The vet said to apply warm compresses for a few days. I imagine he will be a little sore for a few days. Let's hope that's all that happens. Otherwise, he's doing fine. Appy is good, BG is decent. He's napping on his pad in the living room.
Thinking of ailing kitties and beans, Amy's Trixie and dad Phil, Tricia and her civie Sasha, Mariko's Lucy. Happy Monday, LL!
