Molly is hurting
"Jo Firey" wrote in message
... My poor little girl. Yesterday my grandson pointed out that she had a sore or wound on her lower lip. She spent almost all day napping on the foot of my bed. I there napping too, so wasn't sure if she was feeling bad or just keeping me company. I'd guess a little of both. The flame point who is supposed to live across the street now has been pretty pushy so I'm guessing her lip got into the middle of one of their stand-offs. So when my daughter was here last night, I help Molly and she checked out the lip. Its an abscess. She was able to drain it and we medicated it. But Molly says that hurt a lot. Poor thing is so borderline with loving us that I hate to put her through that. My daughter said it really doesn't look too bad. We'll clean it again tonight and then it should be OK. Meantime, Molly hasn't been as comfortable with me today. But she has rubbed against my feet a few times. I know an abscess usually stops hurting once its drained, but draining it hurt a lot, so I'm not so sure she will give us credit for making it better. Meantime I've got to get Charlie to stop encouraging the cat formerly known as Balls to hang out over here. 'His' people are usually at work and he likes company as well as the kibble in our garage. Jo Purrs for her abscess to heal quickly - it usually feels *MUCH* better as soon as it drains, so she may connect that with your helping her. Hugs, CatNipped |

Hugs, CatNipped I sure hope she at least doesn't hold it against me. I held her while she was being treated. And I'm good at that. I know how to get a grip where they can't squirm without hurting them. But I know she hated being confined that way almost as much as she hated getting her face worked on. Now Steven tells me she smells bad, so there may well be a trip to the vet in this yet. I can't tell because I'm really congested myself with bronchitis and I don't want to do a vet run. But of course whatever they need, and sometimes what they don't. Jo |

That's how I found out that under all her long hair Bandit had gangrenous skin from the burns she got at the vet. A bad smell is never a good sign. Hugs, CatNipped |
