I was playing carols on the turntable last night, with candles lit and
enjoying our tree. While petting Merlyn, I noticed a horrible, thick
growth under her chin. I am guessing (and hoping) it is an abscess.
She is allergic to fleas, and they were defleaed a couple of weeks
ago, but she may have dug at a spot before then and it has, over time,
become abscessed. I *Hope* that is all it is. No vets are open, I
don't know how I'm going to cover it, but I am going to have to get
her in Monday or Tuesday when the vets open. Any purrs that you can
spare for my little Merlyn girl, that this is only an abscess, that it
won't go into her bloodstream, and that it will be fixed easily, would
be much appreciated. Thank you.

Purrs coming - and let me know if I can help with the vet costs (though I
can't afford much, unfortunately).
Hugs,

Lots of purrs coming for poor little Merlyn. Hoping it's simple and
easily treated. Santa was good to me this year with some extremely
generous cash gifts and I can't think of anything I'd rather do with
it than help out a kitty (or slave) in distress. If you could please
give us the vet's name & address, a contribution will be on its way
ASAP. Okay???

These are my long term vets, Drs. Jenne and Miley. They are kind and
wonderful guys.
I tried warm compresses yesterday to see if it is an abscess that
would break open, but no luck.
I really hope that's all it is and they can drain it.
Thank you!
