Poor Francis: Poor Me
Poor Francis. He has turned into a man-eater. Specifically he's a
meowmie-eater. Poor cat. I've just had him to the vet on an emergency visit. Francis has been fine, but noticed this afternoon, he was walking with his tail *down* and he would not let anyone near his tail to investigate. Looked like a broken tail. I rang the vet, described Francis's symptoms. Vet agreed either a possible broken tail or an abscess. So I bundled one upset and sore cat into a carrier & took him off to the vet. Francis cried on the trip there, poor boy. The vet was Mr Kennedy, who is a very good, caring vet. In the exam room, I held the end of Francis with the teeth, Mr Kennedy examined to sore end. To be fair to Francis, and to Mr Kennedy - Mr K was trying to be as gentle as he could be but unfortunately Francis did not appreciate this *at all* Francis gave due warning: several times, long and loud. Hissing, spitting, growling, it all came long & loud. Alas, when he'd had enough, it was my hand he chewed down on. And boy, can Francis chew down hard. So I have several deep bite marks in my right hand. These have been washed thoroughly and had much alcohol on and in them, so I'm hoping there's nothing nasty going to fester. My hand is a tad swollen though. Francis now has a tail with a large bald patch on it and has had an injection of long-lasting antibiotic and painkiller. He's looking a bit perkier already. |

I'm glad Francis is doing better, but cat bites can be very nasty. Please be sure to watch carefully for any signs of infection. My advice (not asked for) would be to call your doctor even if the hand seems alright. Doctors in this area often recommend a tetanus injection/booster if it is not already up-to-date. MaryL |

He's the one that got the antibiotic and the painkiller. I'd be wanting an antibiotic of my own about now. Especially since you know that he had an abscess he was likely licking before he bit you. Once the masters are cared for, us slaves need to be cared for as well. Jo |

Poor both of you. I hope you won't be the next one with an abscess.
