Buster has survived his experience, but he is definitely grumpy.

They lanced and drained his leg, and neutered him. His leg is still
draining, and the vet said they want itto continue to drain. So his
poor leg is sore and seeping for now.

I've got a big bottle of antibiotic to squirt into his mouth twice a
day, and they want to see him again Monday evening (which will be a
close call, depending on traffic between Dallas and Arlington).

When I brought Buster home, I had put a cushion in the bottom of a
laundry basket for his comfort. He was feeling better enough to sit up
and look over the top of the basket.

In fact, he tried to jump out and run away (POOR Buster!) when I got
to the door.

I got him inside, and he is laying down, loking miserable, at the
front door, atop the cushion. He still feels very warm (he did have a
temp of 105 degrees at the vet), but not quite as warm.

I lie down next to him now and then and give him "poor baby" skritches
and pets. He looks even more miserable than the picture on my website:

Little Feet is purring for him, from a distance of about five feet.
Dulce Mae has decided that she doesn't want whatever special treatment
Buster got, after all.

Hugs and Purrs,
