He is in a bit of a tug-of-a-war between the top medical team caring for him and the vascular team also overseeing him. His legs are no longer red, they are nice shade of purple (and yes I am being a bit sarcastic here) so there is still issues. His legs were holding over 30 pounds of fluid upon admittance to the ER. He weighed in at 333 on Sunday and on Tuesday he was 302. Some of the team thinks he has a bone infection. They have said he has cellulitis and a bacterial infection found in the cultures that they took. They did an MRI last night at 10:00 p.m. but it was inconclusive to rule out a bone infection and so now he is scheduled for a bone biopsy (but I can’t tell you when). He is in great hands, they really do an all-around good job at looking after him and chasing down the issues. I will tell you more when I learn more.

Once again CATS is looking at a substantial vet bill to pay down. The need is great to pay it down, because Little Man Tate, the 3 month old in the bedroom is bound and determined to get his sisters (and my bedroom slippers) pregnant! Although he is to young to do the full act, he has hurt both Dusky and Maybelline several times in his desire to mate. The bill now stands at $910.00 and if I could even pay it down halfway, they would perform the neuter Tate needs to take away his extreme aggression. I can’t separate him and put him upstairs (it isn’t safe and he is just now starting his vaccinations). So forgive me for asking, but if you could possibly send any money our way it would be appreciated.
