In this previous post I said I am a first time foster mom... and I took four cats at once!!!
Well - one of them - Ghost - his neuter incision didn't look right - all red and swollen.. and from Thursday til today it got worse. So I took him to the vet. First off, all the girls were swooning over him b/c he is beautiful... I don't know much about colors - but he is light grey, cream and mink... with blue eyes... And maybe some white, hard to tell in if it's not daylight. We are calling him a Snowshoe mix. Iknow, I know- pics -- when he is feeling better.
The vet came in and touched him and said, "he's warm," and then examined him. She said that it was much more swollen than it should be but not the worst she's seen. He was running a low grade temp. I thought maybe I was being a neurotic overprotective foster mom, but the vet said - it was the right thing to bring him in - if I had waited it would have gotten really bad.
So she gave me liquid Clavamox and an e-collar. He took the Clav like a trooper but no go with the cone. I just hope a couple of doses of antibio and his "boo-boo" won't bother him so much and he won't lick it too much.
Any thing to look for with the Clav? I will be giving it to him with a blob of wet food, which he absolutely adores!
