Well took my cat to the vet today because he REFUSED to stop scratching the area he butchered a couple days ago. All his other problems from the fight are pretty much heaps better. If only the cut that got infected had been on the other side of his head, then he'd probably scratch the left side of his neck or not at all. Always a problem with the right side. Doesnt he fucking know the vet cant stitch that area anymore because its too tight from previous fixing. Nothing but stress when he gets injured. Its almost lunch time and I havent slept yet because I stayed up making sure he didnt scratch it any more till I could take him to the vet this morning. $150 vet trip. And going back wednesday as a follow up so easily another $100. Hopefully he heals well and doesnt end up costing me more with another operation. He should be ok though.
As much as I love that cat its just starting to really get old. None of my friends cats ever seem to get injured enough to be taken to the vet. One friends had his cat for like 10 years now and only gone to the vet twice. Me? This bastard has almost yearly trips. Even the vet is stunned. How can a cat thats so large, so strong, and so lucky with past injuries, still manage to get the smallest of scratches from fights infected. I've probably spent $5000 on vet bills over the last 15 years. Probably more. I'll still keep spending each time he gets sick but seriously why the hell does he get sick more then other cats. Bloody mystery. Dunno if I'll get another pet after he passes away. So much stress with this one. He could at least get injured when I'm working and have money to pay for it. Having lost my job a while back, this is really not the time I would of picked if I was a retarded cat with a stupid mental issue.
Well Gran Turismo 5 has started to really piss me off too. I'm pretty well into it and all races seem to be against super cars who NEVER spin out, take every turn well, and any chance they get to ram me they do it. They ram me with so much passion that they smash me off the track into a spinning mess. Worst fucking AI in any car game. Which makes it all the more frustrating because its the best handling car game out. Will keep soldiering on amidst curses.
Well since my brain is sleep deprived I'm going to end it here because its thinking of 100 things and wants to talk about all those 100 things and that would just be wrong. Heres a picture of my grandma instead.
I know what you mean. I had a cat who would constantly get into fights with other cats, though each time it wasn't so bad. Then he had a real bad fight with a dog I think because the bite mark he had on his neck was huge! Had to take him in straight away. Turned out fine. I know your cat will get better. Sounds like a real trooper! Lovely picture of you and your grandmother by the way :)
ReplyDeleteCould you not bandage the area, or prevent the cat from scratching it somehow?
ReplyDeleteNot really. Best thing to do is make him not want to scratch it, and thats where the antibiotic injections comes into it. I dont have a problem with paying money as long as it works.
ReplyDeleteIts really unfair how vet bills can be so expensive, thats why I keep telling myself; if I ever achieve uni and get my vet degree, i'm gonna make the bills at a reasonable price.
ReplyDeleteWhen my cat got into a fight and cut got infected, it cost me $200 just for the doctor to have a look at him and give him an injection
Well, I've been destroying Gran Turismo 5 at my friends house. Last night I got golds on all of the B and A licence tests. Need to start working on the international licenses now. Do you use a multitude of cars or do you have a main car that you use?
ReplyDeleteYour cat is a rebel.
ReplyDeleteI use a few different ones. Getting gold in the first two license tests are doable. I cant do that for the rest. I'm not even going to bother trying after the attempts I made.
ReplyDeleteI was able to get golds on all but one of the "ic" tests. The two lap battle in rome is rediculous. The best I can do is getting in 2nd.
ReplyDeletehey con your cat hates vets so does myn like the time i toke him he kept biting the doctor it was awsome to watch
