I have a male cat thats been neutered, and he likes to go out at night prowling, understandable.
So last week I notice he got bit in the ass by some unknown animal. Now after a week of saline flushes and him growling at me. The open wound was looking good didn't close immediately as it shouldn't.
So after a week and some of his fur falling off the wound area, I noticed two other puncture wounds that have closed and and begun to swell. Bad combination.
So long story shorten. I take him to the vet looks at the wound that I had drained (boy, was the cat pissed at me for that) The vet say that he needs to open it and debried the would, because an infectous abcess has developed.
"POW" $509.00
Kind of funny though, I told my wife that if its more than $500, we're putting him down. So do I not come up with another $9 to save the kids cat.
Believe me, I grew up that if an animal got so sick or injured and they couldn't recover with home care we put them down. But as you get older with your own kids. I just can't bring myself to that way of life anymore.
