When I left on Friday, Pouncer's wound was improving. However, upon our return from Tahoe, he had worsened once again. The cat sitter said he was not moving around much over the weekend. The abscess took a turn for the worse and developed a deep tunnel that traveled from his shoulder down to around his elbow. He packed his suitcase and went back to the Animal Hospital today, s/p extensive surgery with staples and 3 drains left in place. More antibiotics. And, the only thing I thought was kind of cute about this whole situation is that he has to wear a t-shirt! With humans, the end of the drains will have a collection device. With animals, apparently they leave them open...that is where the t-shirt comes in...to soak up any drainage? So, my condo is draped with towels, blankets, etc. and P. is the proud new owner of 2 cute t-shirts.
I hope he gets better soon ; (
We love him so much.
