Pet Disease And Sickness, Boo's trip to the vet Options

[nyzki]

Hello all.

Boo had to go to the vet today. He came home yesterday with a lump on his underside. It turns out that he had been in a fight, with another cat. It had become infected. I got concerned and in he went to see his vet. The vet found the infection. It wasnt very large but, it looked pretty ugly.

Boo, is usually kept indoors at night because a majority of the cat fights happen at night. The vet prescribed a antibiotic that he takes for seven days. I thought hmm that anitbiotic is exactly the same one that I have had to take for my infections. Only in people dose.

The vet didnt stich him up but, said to keep him inside and, use the antibiotic and all he will have is a scar but, none the less worse for wear. I am so glad that he is caught up on his shots. I know the cat that he got into it with doesnt have a owner.

I would like to see him picked up by animal controll but they dont pick up cats. He has become such a pain in the butt. And, is costing my other neighbours vet bills as well. We, all now have to keep our cats inside just to make sure that he doesnt attack.


I just have to make sure that Boo does not make a mad dash for the door he is pretty quick but while he is healing he doenst seem to interested in going anywhere but to sleep.

Glad to hear that Boo's on the mend. Good luck keeping him inside where it is safe for him to recover from his wound and infection. I know it's difficult to keep a cat indoors when they are so used to coming and going at their leisure.

Here's wishing Boo a speedy recovery.

Much love from my furbunch to yours.

Thanks Beth,

He seems to be on the mend. He is getting better. He has regained some of his energy and is doing the things that he normally would. It is nice to see the gleam in his beautiful yellow eyes. Now if i could only keep my new baby from wanting to play and annoy him. But, he does a pretty good job of letting Muse know ENOUGH IS ENOUGH LOL.

It's amazing to me just how much these little loves eyes tell us. I'm glad to hear Boo's eyes are gleaming again. The rest of his energy will come back soon.

I know what you mean about how much a new baby wants to play. It's their daily mission as soon as they open their little peepers first thing in the morning when they awaken. When Gidget had stitches in her face after her surgery 3 weeks ago, my new baby Browser just didn't know when to quit and just let her be. It's hard to keep both happy when one is mending and the other just needs to expend all that energy. I wish I could bottle some of that energy for myself.

Take care Nyzki..........So glad all is starting to get back to normal in your lovenest.

Thanks Goliath.

Boo, has been getting better each day, Wow I am quite impressed at how fast his antibiotics have worked. Gee wish that mine worked that fast. He is taking amoxicillian in a liquid form. And, is quite good about taking it. He is recieving it by one dropper twice daily. His energy levels are now returning to normal and, is more than happy to have a wrestling match with my kitten Muse.

I am so happy to have him getting back to normal. I am hopeing that we can avoid another trip to the vet for any more wounds but, somehow i think that this will be doubtful, unless i keep him locked up. And, I dont want to do that. So i guess this is the consequences you have, if you have an indoor outdoor feline.

He has another four days left on the anitbiotic. He will remain indoor untill i know that his infection and wound have healed. I took a look at it today. It seems to be healing and the infection sure looks alot better. I would however; like to clean it. But the vet said that I dont have to do that.

I guess that I will just let the medication and nature do what it has to do untill he is over this.
