Sebastian is in isolation at the moment at the vet’s office. Thankfully, he tested negative on the nasties and even underweight he is BIG cat! He is 10 pounds and skinny as a rail so he must have Maine Coon in that gorgeous body of his. He has a growth on his one testicle so they will neuter him tomorrow and send the lump off the lab for testing. This boy is a champion sprayer- he sprays so magnificently that inside the carrier on the way to the vet he actually got urine on the roof of our truck! Pretty impressive if you ask me! LOL He hosed down his cage last night and I just finished scrubbing it out and will just let it air-dry. If he continues to be a sprayer, he will not be able to be adopted out as an inside kitty which makes me sad. He is about 2 years old right now and the vet had to laugh because during the exam, Sebastion kept leaping from the exam table into the sink! I told Steve, maybe he just knows he smells and wants a bath!
On the Cyclone front- his eye is still not healing and now every time I go to put the ointment in or check his eye- he bites me pretty hard. I try to avoid it- but he is quick. He is also dropping weight so we are going to go ahead and opt for the extensive bloodwork on him to see if he has thyroid issues or other things working against him getting healthy. The puzzle is only one eye is so inflamed, so if this were herpesvirus or conjuctivites he would have both eyes engaged in active infection. Not sure what is going on with him, but noticed last night he kept bumping into things in his pen. Bless this kitty- I may go broke trying to find the answers- but hopefully soon the answer will be here and we can fix him right up. As i told Steve, “He’s a keeper!”
I have several sprayers over here, girls & boys, both. Once they learn that habit, it’s hard to get them to stop. On the bright side, once they’re nipped the musky stink drops way down.
I’m very glad that Sebastian is nasty-free. He made it thru the 1st hurdle!
Oh, Cyclone….
One of my cat has herpes in the eye, and it is only in one. He is seen by an opthamologist.
roof of the truck….yikes 🙂
purrs to both boys – you are doing the good work!!! (and we vote every day – we know how much you could use the help)
