Back again to the vets
Took Mister back again tonight. He was so good in there - the vet took his bandage off, and he hardly murmured. In fact the only time he did whinge, was when the vet pinched the end of his tail to make sure there was feeling there.
He said it was healing nicely, to keep the collar on him, and bring him back in a week for the stitches out.
Brought him home.
Within 10 minutes he’s running round like a mad thing. I assume it’s because his tail looks like a rats tail now, and must feel decidedly odd. He was jumping around on the sofa.
My nice, cream coloured sofa.
Then I notice the marks……….
Not sure what the little bugger has done, but it’s bleeding!
It wasn’t bleeding much, but he had obviously scratched it, and it was irritating him. Eventually got it to stop, by cuddling him tight, and holding the tail in kitchen paper.
We had a few fights though, so in the end I wrapped him up tightly in a huge bath towel, and held him like that for about an hour and a half. Bless him, he had a few half hearted struggles, but mostly just settled down for the big cuddle - I think he felt safe in there.
He is lying quietly on the bed now, hopefully will stay that way, else it’s back to the vets in the morning!
