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's Hinder Isn't Healed


Well, the sore on my rear end isn't healed so I have to take another 10 day round of antibiotics. The sore is closed over for the most part. Half is new pink skin but the other half is yellow and still oozing a bit of pus. Not good, but it was a massive abscess so it will take a little more time to get completely better.
Mom isn't feeling tip-top lately either. Her belly is aching and she's moaning & groaning and generally being unproductive. She says she feels sluggish and sloth-like. We think she needs more exercise, but that's hard to do when you're in a slothful state of mind. -Scooby

I hope the second round of antibiotics helps your sore heal.

My mom still isn't feeling too well either so I know how you feel.

Hmm, Parker's mom was sick and she did nurse duty. Her mom is better. So guess you better get busy taking care of your mom so she gets well too.

Glad your abscess is healing.

Poor Scooby! We think you and your Mom should rest today and share a hot water bottle...first on her tummy, then on your hiney.

Note from Mommy: Do you have a heating pad? Scooby might like to lay on it and the heat will encourage new tissue generation, and expel the pus. I had to put warm compresses on Rupert's rear for about a week before all the oozing was done.

Your heinie needs to be all healed, so just take your meds and get better. Purrs that your mum feels better too. Mum is pooped but she has too much to do to rest much.

Oh that stinks that you have to take another round of antibiotics, but if it helps you heal then it is important to do. We will keep sending you healing purrs and prayers.

And we hope your mom feels better soon - it stinks for the moms when they don't feel good - we are sending her purrs too!
