BTW Lucy has a huge piece of grass sticking out of his mouth and he looks so funny LOL!
So anywho, I got up this morning and took her into Care Care for an appointment. I ended up waiting about 3 hours just to be seen. We did end up going to eat during that time so the wait wasn't that excruciating. They gave her an exam and told me she needs to have a dental, which is good as I am planning one very soon for all my kitties. Her front teeth are OK but she does have some buildup on the back teeth. She had a small temp, 103 and she weighs 6.5 pounds. She has always been so tiny poor little girl. The vet said she was at a good weight for her body type which made me feel good. They also told me a lot of bad stuff about the
BARF diet too which I had never heard before. Hrmm......
Anyway, they shaved her paw to get a closer look and like I thought didn't requite stitches. I opted to give her the pain shot, Torbugesic, which is the first time I've had a pet get this type of pain med. So she is doing a bit better just from that but the meds made her a little dingy. They also shaved her butt a bit to make sure she had no other wounds as I told them last night she was pretty swollen. She is on Calvamox for 7 days and goes back in ten days for a checkup and vaccines as she needs her Rabies. So now she looks REALLY funny with a naked butt, hehe. Don't believe me? Take a look!
Here is her owie. I have no idea what happened as the wound is not a puncture wound. My thoughts escape me on this one.
So of course she needs to stay inside for two weeks and I have the cat box set up for her etc. She peed in the carrier while at the vet clinic poor girl. Now I am praying she doesn't get infected. I have to soak the wound twice a day with a warm pack and also apply some neosporin. Wish us luck! Seems like I have had one too many
vet visits lately! Oh yes, and it only costs 70 bucks! I love Cat Care. Isn't this funny though? They charged ten bucks just to clip her fur.
So she has a small gash in her back leg, near her pinky toe. It isn't that bad but she was in some pain and I would feel better bringing her in. I don't want to risk infection etc. It's nothing that needs to be sutured but I think some prednisome may be in order. So I am going to take her in for a drop off at CatCare and see what they can do for her. Poor girl. 
Cass, I'm sorry to hear that Cheetah was injured. I'm also sorry that I was so late in my get well wishes. I hope Cheetah made a speedy recovery 
poor Cheetah 
She still looked cute anyway. And, by the way, I can't believe someone would tell you not to take Cheetah to the vet for treatment. That wound needed tending to. It may not have needed sutures, but I believe you did the right thing. You are a good mommy
