Little Cat Feet

Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Scooby Has Emerged




Scooby is feeling much better today compared with just yesterday and has come out from hiding under the couch to be with the family again.

His wound is looking much better and starting to fill in with new tissue but now that he's up & moving around it is oozing again. Mom keeps dabbing it with a tissue and Scooby will lick it too.
If he licks it too much he will have to get a cone on his head.

He is still on antibiotics for another week, but is off the pain meds. They were making him kind of googly-eyed but did their job with the worst of the pain.
He really got bit on the butt good didn't he???
What a brave mancat he is!

If he needs a cone, there are better ones (inflatable) than those plastic ones...

Trust me, I know...

Wow Scooby we are so glad that you are out again and spending time with your family - we think that will help you to feel better quicker. And boy, what a bad wound that is - it is good that it is healing but seriously, try not to lick it - you don't want the dreaded cone! We are still sending over lots of healing purrs and prayers.

Poor Scooby! I just found out about your injury, that looks so painful! I hope it all heals up quickly. Going to the v-e-t is no fun, it seems like we all have too many v-e-t visits at the moment!

Poor Scooby! I just read all about what happened. You are a brave mancat Scooby! My sis had an abscess from a cat scratch when she was new to us and the vet made mom put warm compresses on it twice a day. That helped the oozing stop. We are all sending purrs that your butt will get better very soon!

Oh man, Scooby old pal...how're you doing? Maybe you should stick to using a litterbox in the house.
