It’s been a rocky day for us here. Pigeon is once again backed up the hilt. So much that he is throwing up poop. 🙁 They will keep him over the weekend on fluids and supportive care and on Monday they will run a barium study on him to see what gives. I am so worried and told them to just go ahead with what they need to do and I will find some way to cover the cost.
On the way home, I stopped by a fast food and noticed a cat leaning against the dumpster. He looked rather odd- his neck looked like he had a handle on it? like a suitcase. I had a cat trap in my vehicle and I managed to coax him into one and saw that he had three old wounds on his neck (deep ones). They looked like they have been abcessing repeatedly. The bottom layers are rock-hard no there is no fluid- it would all be either inflamed tissue or infection.
I want them to test him, if he tests negative, he will be neutered and treated. I am calling him Neon. He is an old man- very mellow and laid back. I would be surprised if he is negative for leukemia. But I hope I am wrong. I am waiting for the call now as all the doctors were in surgery.
Poor Pigeon – and poor Neon; two cats who have had more than their share of pain and sorrow. Good luck to both of them.
