It turned out to be a bit of an extensive neuter, because Manchester (his name) didn’t have wounds on his leg. He had apparently shredded his leg in an attempt to get at the earmites! My vet said this was the worst case of ear mite infestation he has ever seen. He dug so deep that he cut into the bone behind his ear and he now has stitches to close in the wound! They also did an ear flush and applied Revolution to help get him out of pain. He is home now and he is a mellow boy. Although he has yet to eat-
Wow, he must have been in torment. The idiots who dropped him off probably just wanted to be rid of him, but they did him a favour nonetheless: he’s with someone who cares, at last.
I think that I see a look of relief on his face!
Poor kitty! He must feel a great deal better now that the itching has stopped. He’s a handsome cat and I’m so glad you were able to help him out.
