Well hopefully it heals. It's definitely going slowly. Unfortunately, we found out today he also is FIV+. So that could be part of why this infection won't clear. And is complicating whether or not we are going to let him into our home with two other FIV- cats. It's always something... lol.

I was able to take Dusty back to the vet today now that they are open again. The vet said she was unable to see any of that when I first took him in last week because his foot was so swollen. She cleaned out the wound today. It is still infected though after six days on antibiotics, so he is...

I did try calling today, even knowing they vet would be closed for cleaning. No answer. I also sent an email with the picture attached. They open back up tomorrow so I'm hoping to get some movement on this issue. I'll let you know what they say, since everyone's been kind enough to take a...
