Taking my kitty to the emerg. vet

[Phinnsmommy]

Taking my kitty, Max, to the emergency vet right now.
It's 5:30 pm and the regular vet is closed .
He's my baby, i'm worried
Late last night I noticed his ear was bloody, and it looks all sore inside.
We think something might be in there and he's scratching his ear to get it out.

Wish us luck xo

Oh no! Keeping you and Max in my thoughts Silvie. :hug:

How did Max make out at the vet?

Good news!
The vet went fine.
They think he got a little scratch on his ear and then he was scratching his ear to make it worse. They cleaned it up, and it looked so much better.

He takes prednisone for his asthma every once in awhile so he gets an extra dose of that tonight and an extra one tommarow, to keep the pain and swelling down. Plus he's on antibiotics for a week (to keep him from getting an infection).

So $132 later, he's fine .

The doctor was amazed at how friendly he was. Even when she was sticking the probe down his ear to make sure there was nothing down their he never got agrressive. The probe must have hurt, because his ear was all sore inside.

When she was checking his lungs, she couldn't even hear them because he was purring so loud, which cats do to comfort themselves. I thought that was super cute :biggrin2:.

I'm glad he's fine, as were going on vacation in a week.

Thanks!

Silvie.

I'm glad to here he's fine.

That's great news!

 

[Phinnsmommy]

Yeah

Does anyone know if it's normal for him to be doing these small "foamy" throwups from the antibiotics?

Other than that he's acting perfect, just a little sleepy from the meds.
