I had to take Frank to the emergency vet today. This morning, he was
straining on the litterbox, then a little gas escaped and two small,
hard poops. Oh, I thought, he is constipated. I broke out the paraffin
oil. Took some in a dropper, and had a huge fight with Frank before I
managed to squirt a little in his mouth. He screamed like a banshee and
jerked around so it was hard to get the dropper in his mouth.

Some time later, I noticed he was holding his mouth open. He refused to
eat, and as the day wore on his jaw swelled up. I finally called the vet
school hospital, which is open 24/7, described the situation, and they
told me to bring him in. He got examined under sedation and x-rayed, but
they could find nothing wrong. The vet said the jaw is perfectly mobile,
and not loose at all, like it would be if something was broken.

Well, they sent us home, but Frank is just the same. He holds his mouth
open, and his tongue in between. I was so scared that I had hurt him
while giving him the paraffin oil. At least that did some good, when we
got home he went directly to the litterbox and made an oily deposit, and
then he peed in the other one, so that end should be good. His jaw is
obviously very sore, and it's swollen. If we could please have some
purrs that it heals by itself. The vet is going to ask the radiologist
to take a look at the x-rays on Monday, to make sure nothing's broken.

Frank wants nothing to do with me and I just want to hug him and tell
him everything will be alright. He glares at me and stalks off if I come
near. I'm so sorry if I caused this.

Poor Frank. Healing purrs are on the way for Frank and comforting
purrs and hugs are on the way for you.

Oh, poor Frank! Maybe he just got bruised - that could swell up and be
sore, too. Even if he did get hurt in the struggle to avoid being given
oil, he needed to have it! He might be mad at you, but I'll bet his tummy
feels a lot better!

Purrs for his jaw to recover quickly.
