Tommy Cat Needs Prayers - Page 1

Due to weather issues, vet will not see him until late Thursday afternoon.

Tommy's left side of his head, toward the back of his jaw is swollen. I assume it is just an abscess from a cat fight?  Let's hope.

While Tommy is the most cuddly of my mouser cats, he turns wicked mean when he is hurt. I have scars from this cat. So no, quite frankly I am not going to get in close enough to get a good look. That will be the vets problem.

First emergency with Tommy cat...

Vet: What do you expect us to do with him? I can't touch him. Is he feral?  He's already bit through my (leather) gloves.

Me: Turn him loose & hope you hit him with the tranquilizer gun?

Vet did not appreciate my sarcasm.

Prayers for Tommy will be greatly appreciated. He is a black, with white, tuxedo cat.  Pray even harder, as I have already pre determined my financial limit for this cat, or he will be put down.

Thank you so very much from me & Tommy cat.

Sounds like an absess to me. Just what many of my cats have had. Bursts in about 5 days smells soooo bad then it heals.

Would not waste a trip to the Vet if he is that bad when hurt.

Tommy cat went to the vet today.

To those that prayed for him, THANK YOU so very much.

Yesterday evening his abscess had reduced some of its own accord. This morning he finally ate. And he allowed me to touch him.

I took him to the vet anyway. He is now on liquid antibiotics. Not getting a pill down this cat w/o a fight. He had lost a full 2 pounds. No shocker there.

This evening I found him sleeping & his mouth was actually closed. Though he is still dripping clear drops from his mouth.

Tommy should be just fine. :)



Big kudos to the UPS guy that pulled off a real balancing act, managing to hold the door open for me literally with his pinky finger, while he was piled head high with several of packages.
 

Good news is always nice to hear.
