A trip to the vets today


Well the neighbours cat came in today, another big hole in his neck, it looks like an abscess has burst, the hole he had last summer still isn't completely better so hes booked into the vet at 2.40 for a check up and possibly blood tests to check for anything nasty.
We have shut him in the conservatory and hes spent the last hour trying to find an escape route, god knows how hes going to react to being put in a carrier, then a car then the vets , really looking forward to that!
Will ask the vet about how to go about finding him a new home, not that we've ruled out keeping him - we just can't make up our minds what to do right now!

Re: A trip to the vets today


Just got back, he was so good it was quite unbelievable! Nice and relaxed about the car. He has had his blood tests results come back tomorrow.

He did have an abscess too, they lanced it and gave him a shot of antibiotics that will last for 2 weeks, we discussed handing him over to the cats protection people but I think my b/f wants to keep him (usually its me wanting to take on cats & I have been so good trying not to get attached to this one ) , we'll see what the test results say and take it from there.

I'm glad it went so well for you both; do let us know when the blood work results come back and if you decide to keep him!

I think that's one of those occasions where you "grudgingly" let OH have his wish.
