Sick Kitty Update - 12th April 2011

Hi everyone
Well we did end up taking Byron to the vets today (we are now another £74 lighter ). the vet took a good look in his mouth and could see nothing and so was just about to suggest some blood tests when he noticed a lump at the base of Byron's tail.
Byron received a very nasty bite there in January from a stray cat and it looks like he has either been got again or the old would did not completely heal. the lump was full of pus YUK and so the vet was sure that this was what was causing Byron's loss of appetite and general moodiness.
So a pain relieving injections and antibiotic injection was given plus the would was expelled of pus (again YUK) and like a miracle Byron is eating again and is generally the pussy cat we all love.
we need to keep an eye on his would and to make sure he keeps on eating etc over the coming week but lets hope he is now on the mend.
thank you for all your kind words yesterday, it's good to know that we all as cat lovers and owners feel the same worry when our furry friends get sick.
