Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006Vino's hurt :-(
Strangest thing, I never noticed it last night because he was sleeping so cutely on the bed, I didn't dare disturb him. But this morning I noticed a big (nickel sized) hole in his fur on his back. He's got a sore, looks like a couple of small abrasions but I suppose it could also be a puncture wound. I cleaned it off with an antiseptic towlette and Vino's walking ok. It's Sunday and I'm off to work, but I'll probably take him to the vet tomorrow morning. I'll get it looked at and also see if they can change our contact info on his microchip. The Thai address wouldn't be too helpful over here.  SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

(US TV programs make it sound as if > everything is either carniverous or deadly poisonous!) It's true. The message seems to be that if something exists someplace in the world, a vicious or deadly version of that same animal exists in Australia. Even the ants in Australia are nasty, according to Animal Planet at least. I've already decided that I never want to set foot on that continent. Apologies to the humans who live there, but I just don't like nasty creepy-crawlies. Joyce > > Just the thought of some of the stinging/biting wildlife in Australia > > gives me the heebie-jeebies!

(US TV programs make it sound as if [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Tish I've been to Australia three times and absolutely love it! Besides all the venomous creatures, Australia has a number of delightful, intriguing animals and birds, as well as super-nice people. In my three trips there, I saw exactly one poisonous creature - a snake that had been run over - outside of an animal park or other facility with a controlled environment. As a matter of fact, one of the places I saw live ones was at the reptile center in (or just outside of) Alice Springs. The woman conducting the tours explained that the poisonous snakes have such small teeth that if you disturbed one in the bush and it struck, you would be very unlikely to receive any venom at all if you were wearing boots, and even heavy jeans or such would prevent or reduce a dose being delivered. You have to be reasonably cautions here, but I'm less afraid of the poisonous creatures in Australia than I am of some of the two-legged animals prowling about our U.S. cities and suburbs.

Nothing compared to all the cool stuff, kangaroos, emus, parrots, kookaburras, etc, and of course the usual horses, sheep, cows (they have the cutest long haired black cows around here!) and deer (there is a deer farm and they have hundreds grazing, it's cool to see).

But this morning I [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > our contact info on his microchip. The Thai address wouldn't be too > helpful over here. Getting it looked at is definitely a good idea. Nanki-Poo had something like that, and it looked to me as though a bird had pulled out a big chunk of his fur. I still think that could be what it was. There were tiny pinpricks of blood, but now big wound, so I didn't worry about it, but let it go for a day or two. Unfortunately, it itched, and he started digging at it and ended up with a huge sore on his back. It took a fair amount of treatment to get it cleared up. The sooner the vet gets involved, the better. Joy Poor Vino! Hope he gets the OK form the vet. sandra Well, I got home from work 1/2 hour ago. I looked at it again, the fur had spread apart more so it was really obvious. There are 2 small abrasions and 1 puncture wound. The puncture is a small round hole. It is getting kind of weeping and I squeezed quite a bit of pus out of it. Poor Vino used some very poor language while that was happening. Other than that, Vino seems fine, he greeted me at the door as usual, ran behind me as I went to the fridge and gobbled up his canned food with gusto. So at least he's still doing well. I will definitely take him to the vet first thing in the morning. Poor bugger. I think he must have gotten in a fight with the neighbours cat that seems to come over the back fence. Vino can't get over the fence (he's not athletic) but this black cat comes over sometimes. I will keep an eye on Vino when he's out there more, I hope they can work it out because I really want Vino to be able to keep enjoying the back yard.

SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk Britta, I'm late on this, just saw your first post this morning.

There are 2 small [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > an eye on Vino when he's out there more, I hope they can work it out > because I really want Vino to be able to keep enjoying the back yard. Its quite likely that the neighbor cat considers the back yard his own, and hung out there before you moved in. And he may well be a bully. Poor Vino isn't into having to defend his territory is he? I'd mix a WEAK solution of ammonia and water in a spray bottle to unwelcome the visitor. They don't like to return to where they think they've been peed on. And maybe stop clipping Vino's claws. Sounds like he could use them. When we have an abcess, we stuff it full of Neosporin after we drain it. At least until we get to the vet. Jo It's midnight and I just looked at him again. The puncture wound seems to have closed up and no more pus will squeeze out. I think this is a good sign. I didn't let him out this evening and he has been lounging on the bed. I think he hates the smell of the antiseptic towlettes I've been cleaning the wound with, but they seem to be helping so I will continue doing it. I'm off to bed now and will inspect again in the morning, then probably take him to the vet even if it looks better. I want do deal with that microchip anyway. I don't know what will happen with that because we got it in Thailand (had to, to get him into Australia). I have tried calling and emailing the company over there, but no response. I called Avid in the UK and they told me that I have to register the new info in the country where I am at. So hopefully the vet here can tell me some info about it. Also want to know how urgently Vino might need a dental, it's been 5 years since the last one. Ok, off to bed.

So off to the vet we went. By the time we got there, it had drained itself again. All the vet did was give her a round of oral antibiotics, and it was fine after that.

The deepest started healing but when it scabbed over it got really itchy. I know, don't scratch it! But I did. It got inflamed. I rubbed some hydrogen peroxide on it and then an anti-biotic ointment. It's healing up nicely now (and it doesn't itch!). Maybe the same sort of treatment would work for Vino's boo-boo? Jill > It's midnight and I just looked at him again.

It is my understanding that an abscess needs to be kept open for drainage, so it won't reoccur. They nee to heal from the inside to the outside. IMHO he needs to see TEd. Ditto.

Selena asked me to suggest to you allergies, since Vino has so recently moved to Australia and could possibly be allergic to something in the air that he's never encountered before. She used to have "hot spots" that would erupt into the same size wounds that looked absolutely horrible! Usually when I found one that size there would be smaller ones somewhere on her body as well. Because she's not a cat that likes to be handled (and she has long hair) I wouldn't find the spots until they erupted. The good news is that they are relatively easily treated and if you can find the cause you might be able to eliminate it from his environment. Purrs for you as well, Brita, since anytime time our babies are hurt we hurt.
