Re: Tubs is injured

Tubs came home with a torn up ear today. His slave (Gloria, my neighbor) is
gone on a trip, so I am having to doctor him.

He was clearly in considerable pain, with pus coming out of the wound and it
was quite hot to the touch. He was a perfect angel about letting me hold his
ear under a running faucet. He cried a few times but did not struggle or
claw me or try to get away.

I've started him on amoxycillin - 250 mg initially but will lower the doxe
tomorrow. And I have locked him inside her house until I see a lot of
improvement.

He could use a few purrs.

Can't you take him to his vet? (When I go away, I always leave my vet's phone number with my pet-sitter, along with contact information in case the sitter needs to reach me.)
