Positive Thoughts Please

[cornerofmadness]

So I called the vet again and got Ms Surly this time who was appalled that I was not told to bring Rocket in immediately yesterday (I think I talked to the young one yesterday, the one Surly bit the head off last time when Rocket skinned his tail).

Good news - leg's not broken. Bad news - they think it's an abscess. They kept Rocket overnight for pain meds and high dose antibiotics. They might have to keep him tomorrow too as I got to work all day then to the interview then to the doctor. Honestly it's the best place for him as he refuses to stay inside.

However, he is a FIV + cat and an abscess is going to be bad, potentially fatally so. And since this is the apartment's cat, think anyone else around here is going to help foot the bill? Yeah no. Ah well, I can't let him suffer so I'll deal.

I'm sorry to hear Rocket's health issues. I hope he can recover soon. Best wishes to Rocket & you!

[cornerofmadness]

thank you

[shanachie_quill]

Oh man. Roscoe had one of those last year and it was just a lot, but he wasn't my FIV+ cat. Thankfully Hades never developed one (his organs just all failed at once.)

Hopefully it's a quick fix and you don't have to do a lot of care.

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. Me either as Rocket will bite the shit out of you (as the vet tech found out) Poor Roscoe (and Hades)

[shanachie_quill]

Oh nooo. Yeah Roscoe hisses, but doesn't typically bite. (Thankfully since I have to medicate him every three days.) Hopefully he's doing better.

[cornerofmadness]

that's lucky for you. I'm very glad in some ways Kanda went fast because he would never have let me medicated him. I havent' tried it with rocket yet

[shanachie_quill]

Hopefully you're having some luck with Rocket.

[cornerofmadness]

He's been getting into a lot of fights

[shanachie_quill]

Ugh that's annoying. I'm super grateful that Roscoe doesn't seem to be much of a fighter.

[cornerofmadness]

I wish. He has another abscess

[shanachie_quill]

I'm so sorry. I have a spray the doctor gave me when Roscoe had his and I have tons of it left, would you like me to send it?

[cornerofmadness]

what is it? right now he's healed and there's no outside opening to this abscess

[shanachie_quill]

Um... I don't remember. That's good.

[cornerofmadness]

Yeah Rocket is better now

[shanachie_quill]

That's good.

[pebbleinalake]

I'm sorry your cat is not doing well. Sending best wishes for his recovery! <3
