Lao was attacked by another cat

Emm · 30-10-2005, 10:43 AM

During the week Lao Tzu came home in loads of pain he wasn't putting any weight on his front leg and when I went to check him over he growled and hit me - he has nver done that before. So I had to get him comfy and lie with him until the morning the vet checked him over and he had a really bad cat bite on his leg and hes covered in cat scratches all over - poor baby

hes getting too old to be fighting like that - but he won't listen to me

hes also really bad at taking his antibiotics..... cats who would have them

Sorry to hear about Lao, hope the poor little man recovers soon....

Poor Lao Tzu, hope he feels better soon Emm. I used to have a ginger tom who was always in fights and I was forever taking him to the vet with nasty bites and a course of antibiotics soon cleared them up. Have you tried hiding his tablet in some ham or cheese....used to work wonders with Sam.
Also when the bites didn't look too serious I used to bathe them in a very weak TCP solution.

Poor Lao

For all their elegance etc, cats don't half let themselves down sometimes

(not your baby, the attacker)

Hope Lao is soon better and I recommend stinky Camembert for hiding pills!

Hope Lao is better soon!
They drive you mad with worry, but would not be without them!

Oh so sorry for him. Is he getting better? Hopee it doesn't stop him doing his everyday things.

Tell him to lay in wait for the baddy then jump out and "get" him back.

Awwwww poor guy hope he is better soon xxx

I hope he's on the mend soon, its terrible when they are in discomfort isn't it.

Its one thing I don't miss - the cat fights Oscar was a b*gger when he was younger a proper bully with other cats in the area.

He would stand no cat in "his area" and even went into fights with un-neutured Toms

I did not think neutured Tom's did that and he won a good many too.

He had quite a few bites and I used to bathe them in salt water.

but he always backed down to Cleo.
