Injury from fighting
Injury from fighting
Poor Ted got some nasty injuries from fighting yesterday. At first I only noticed a tiny scratch on his nose- it stood out because his nose is all white, but I failed to spot the major injuries at first. It wasn't until he was acting really quiet and refusing food that I suspected something more was going on. I then noticed his ear was ripped slightly, it reeked really bad too! and was leaking. Then this morning Mum felt a scrape under his chin so we took him to the vets and he has two nasty abscesses:( No wonder he felt so bad. He was given two injections- one to help his temperature and the other for the infection. Thankfully his temperature has improved as he is more lively and eating. I am having to bathe his ear and chin a few times each day until it clears up. So lets all pray he heels well. I hate when they get sick.

And if Ted could talk he'd say, 'Yeah, but you should see the state of the other guy!'
Bad lad for fighting! He'll be over the worst of it now but the bathing and draining always takes time. Get well soon Ted

Haha! He would! We actually said we dread to think what the other cat looks like lol.
You should feel his poor chin though! I swear the abscess has grown.
