Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2007Fleagor is in hospital
Fleagor hadn't been around for a few days. Last night he was in when I got home. When checking him over for ticks and generally grooming him, I discovered a huge lump on his lower right jaw. I tried to take him to the vet this morning, but he wouldn't come when called, so I went to work. I left work early in hopes he would be around in the PM so I could take him to a 3:45 vet apointment. He wasn't, but eventually he did come through the fence and walked slowly toward me - usually he scampers whe he's responding to a call. When he got a few feet away I could see that the whole front quarter of his right side was wet. He had an abcess (I guessed that anyway), and it had ruptured. There was puss and gore all around the wound. The vet is keeping him overnight for minor surgery to clean up the would and drain the rest of the abcess. Oh, and he also has a tapeworm - that *I* can treat, but it will have to wait until he has recovered from the abcess.  SignatureT.E.D.

Purrs on the way for the abcess not to have picked up any other infectious whatevers and be easily treatable. And purrs for you, too, Ted. Jill > Fleagor hadn't been around for a few days.

Same thing happened to Smudge a few months ago. Fleagor's sounds a bit worse, and is in a more visible place. (Smudge's abcess was on her chest, and I didn't notice it until I picked her up one night and felt what seemed like a golf ball under her skin.) I think it's a good thing that Fleagor's abcess ruptured, isn't it? That way, it can drain. (And it certainly seems to have done so.) I'm glad your vet is on the cautious side and is keeping him overnight. Purrs for a full and quick recovery! Joyce > Fleagor hadn't been around for a few days. Last night he was in > when I got home.

I don't gross out easily, but some of what I saw while he was being examined turned my stomach. I'm used to tapeworms - they are a continual nusiance for cats that eat out a lot (thye get the worms from their raw mouse meals). SignatureT.E.D.

Poor ole guy. I'm sure right now he has no clue how lucky he is to have you to care for him and to care about him. Jo > Fleagor hadn't been around for a few days.

Glad to hear the ascess drained - that's the worst part over. I remember how miserable Frank was when he had an abscessed tooth. Purrs for Fleagor to feel better soon.

Poor feller! What discomfort and indignity. We are sending him get-well-purrs. Purrs and prayers that Fleagor recovers completely.
