Sept 27th 2010 - Sickly September Cats

by Kate

September has proven to be a month of vet visits for our two boys. First it was their yearly vaccination boosters, then poor Byron got badly bitten on the tail and finally Shelley seems to have something stuck up his nose. Thank goodness for cat insurance.

Byron's tail looked so bad we actually thought he had broken it. it was dragging it along the floor and it looked slightly twisted too and we though, oh no this is going to mean amputation. thankfully it was a rather nasty bit right near the base of his tail. he needed pain killers and antibiotics.

Shelley bless him has been sneezing and coughing and even vomiting a little. The vet cant see what the problem is and so we are waiting and seeing what happens. we are hoping that it is something organic that will eventually dissolve, if not it will be operation time I fear. luckily it doesn't seem to be bothering him too much at the moment so fingers crossed.

I'm hope October is going to be better.
