10 days to 2 weeks and you wouldn't ever know he had the bite except for where he was shaved by Vet. He has been doing really well, still finicky about eating but eats good at times. When he gets to point he isn't eating enough I give him another Mirtazapine, usually 3-4.5 days between. Recently he has been very playful and seems to feel very good. Still pondering the Echocardiogram, seems he would present some sign if he had heart problems.Stinky showed up yesterday morning with his tail hanging down. I tried to examine him but when I touched his tail about an inch or 2 from his rear end he started growling and hissing....Naturally he wouldn't eat anything. I finally got him to eat about a 1/2 jar of Chicken baby food and a little later on some cooked pork. I decided not to take him to Vet. and let him got for the day. This morning he wouldn't eat again so I took him to Vet. Vet. had to give him shots to sedate him enough to shave the area and exam. It was a bite and he said he didn't think he needed an Xray. He got Antibiotics & Onsior shots. I start him on Antibiotics & Onsior tomorrow and I have Nystatin Neomycin ointment for 2x a day. He ate a little when we got home and an hour or so after we got back he started moving his tail some. Later this afternoon he seemed to be doing even better but still a little off from the sedative and other stuff. Maybe he will stay out of trouble for a while! Vet. said he must be a lover not a fighter since he was bitten on the tail. He said most cats get wounds on the head/face. I think he is right. I'm still undecided about him getting an Echocardiogram.
