POOR ARCHIE HAS A VERY BIG ABSCESS IN HIS LEFT 'ARM PIT' TOOK HIM TO VET EARLIER AS HIS EARS WERE HOT AND FELT A LUMP
MY VET TOOK HIM AWAY TO DRAIN AND FOUND TWO SMALL PUNCTURE WOUNDS MADE BY A MOUSE :shocked: THE ABSCESS IS VERY GUNKY AND HE HAS ABS AND PAIN RELIEF.
HAVE TO TAKE HIM BACK MONDAY FOR A CHECK UP AND HOPEFULLY HE WILL NOT NEED AN OP TO REMOVE IT :(
-
Aw no. Poor Archie.
-
Poor Archie, I do hope he doesn't need an op. Everything crossed and lots of loving vibes from the human and purry head butts form Da Mob. :Luv: :care: :care: :care:
-
Oh poor boy :hug: :hug: :hug:
Nasty mouse :scared: Very much hope your lovely boy is comfy and doesn't need an op xxx
-
Sending gentle and soothing snoozles for Archie xxx
-
A BIG THANK YOU FOR YOUR WELL WISHES FROM ARCHIE AND ME :hug:
I HAVE JUST GIVEN HIM A DOSE OF LOXICOM AND HE WILL GET HIS ABS AT LUNCHTIME.
THE WOUND WAS A BIT OOZY LAST NIGHT BUT LOOKS CLEAN THIS MORNING. I WILL TRY GENTLY WIPING SOME SALT WATER OVER IT LATER.
HE CAME IN DAMP AT 2AM, STILL MOUSING :innocent: AND THEN STAYED FOR CUDDLES ALL NIGHT
HE LOOKS A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE WALKING DOWN STAIRS BUT AS I TYPE HE IS EATING HIS BREAKFAST.
IT IS THGE FIRST TIME HE HAS BEEN GIVEN LIQUID ABS WHICH IS GREAT AS CAN JUST POP IT IN FOOD ;D
-
Trust Archie to pick on feisty mouskie. :innocent:
I remember when Moray was doing his Jonny Cash impersonation of "A Boy named Sue" (when the vet cut off a piece of his ear). I found sudacrem worked absolute wonders. :-:
-
Poor Archie! I'm glad he seems to be recovering well. Alf hopes his buddy will soon be catching dem mowsies agen. Sky says to make sure he takes his tablets, keeps the wound clean, washes his paws after the litter-tray etc etc . . .
-
Archie says a big thank you to Alf and to assure him he will be on the case again :evillaugh:
Sky has some great ideas esp about the litter tray ;D
You made Archie and I laugh Sue :evillaugh: We had forgotten about Moray's ear :shocked: Sudacrem is a great idea, thanks ;D
Archie has had all his meds today and is currently snoozing in the cupboard under my bed :Luv:
-
How is the lovely Archie doing today Alison? :Luv:
-
Why did the vet chop off a bit of Moray's ear? :shocked:
-
He dun bin fightin. :doh: kickin anna gougin inna mud unna bludd unna beer......
Ear got infected. Necrotised. Had ter come off vet said. In the same breath as I was contemplating getting him booked in, the vet whisked a set of scissors from her pocket, and to my horror lopped off a bit of his ear. :doh:
-
Beer? :shocked:
Seriously I was wondering the same thing, I would have been horrified and relieved in equal measure, I think. Poor Moray, it must have been a shock to him too, she would have had to cut living tissue to remove the necrotic. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Poor Moray! I spect he tells evverywun ow brayv ee wuz. Alf is suitably impressed.
-
Beer. Moray sez wuz definitely beer.
There was no blood when the ear was chopped so I suspect it was all dead tissue. I was more horrified than he was. :evillaugh:
-
ARCHIE SAYS POOR MORAY HAVING TO HAVE HIS EAR CLIPPED :shocked:
I AM VERY PLEASED TO REPORT ARCHIE LAD IS MUCH BETTER AND THE LIQUID ABS ARE A GODSEND.
HE IS BACK AT THE VET THIS AFTERNOON FOR A CHECK UP
HE SAYS TO TELL YOU HE IS WELL AND TRULY BACK MOUSING, ALTHOUGH HE JUST WATCHES THEM AND WINCES AT THE THOUGHT OF BEING BITTEN AGAIN :evillaugh:
-
Now that Archie is back watching mouskies, I am sure the bum wiggle will soon reappear. :evillaugh: :Luv:
I am glad that Archie is feeling better. :)
I thought I had posted this already, I am going :Crazy:
-
Alf is suitably impressed that Moray lost a bit of his ear in that fashion :shocked:
Am glad that Archie feels well enough to chase dem mowsies agen!
-
AW THANKS :hug:
ARCHIE GOT A GOOD INSPECTION AT THE VETS AND HAS BEEN SIGNED OFF ;D
-
Am so pleased Archie has been given a clean bill of health. :hug: :hug:
Lyn, Moray positively swaggered when he read that. ;)
Barley has brought two mouskies in, two nights running. One is missing in action, and three have been set free in the garden. :shify:
-
ARCHIE SAYS HE IS VERY IMPRESSED WITH BARLEY BUT WOULD LIKE TO SAY WATCH OUT FOR THEIR SHARP TEEF :evillaugh: :wow:
