Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2005Report on Abelard's TED visit
It was his first time seeing "Dr. Missy" (this clinic has 5 different vets, including Melissa Gourley), who was duly impressed by his beauty. X-rays revealed no break and no dislocation, thank goodness, he just has a great swelling and bruise from some unknown trauma and a bit of infection starting where the skin was broken. He got a shot of clindamycin hydrochloride as well as a week's worth of the same thing in capsules. A side note: Abelard talked quite a bit both during the car ride and at the clinic. It was nice to be reminded that he can actually meow. And while he waited for me to run some errands, he got treats in the car. Then he sat on my lap and kneaded my gut all the way home. > It was his first time seeing "Dr. Missy" (this clinic has 5 different vets, > including Melissa Gourley), who was duly impressed by his beauty. > > X-rays revealed no break and no dislocation, thank goodness, he just has a > great swelling and bruise from some unknown trauma and a bit of infection > starting where the skin was broken. I'm so glad his tail is not actually broken.

We can only wonder what happened: caught in a door, caught by a d*g or other beastie? Guess we shall never know. Have you convinced him he should be a house pet?

Have you convinced him he should be a house pet? MLB No doors around here other than mine. Gloria's been gone for a week and is staying gone for another one. And her dogs are very cat-friendly. The "other beastie" theory could be correct, or it could have been snagged by some barbed wire somewhere. I'll never keep Abelard from going out, since that's where he prefers to relieve himself (still seems to think he's too good to use a "public" litterbox), but once we're living in town he will not be able to leave the yard nor will other critters with the exception of squirrels, lizards, mice and birds be able to come into the yard. > It was his first time seeing "Dr. Missy" (this clinic has 5 different vets, > including Melissa Gourley), who was duly impressed by his beauty.

Great news that the tail wasn't permanently injured. Give him a skritch from me. Sam, closely supervised by Mistletoe So glad to hear it wasn't anything so serious. Wish he could tell you exactly what happened to him. Sweet man of the house.

Still purring for your house purchase to go smoothly and you and your clowder are soon settled in your new home.

I was picturing him running around outside with the end of his tail only hanging by skin! Good news. |
