Yesterday's cat fight

Yes, it's true. Our old man (who has trouble walking) got in a fight last night with a neighborhood cat. :-x :roll: Zener was quite pleased with himself too. :lol: He has a gouge on his forehead so off to the vet we went. She shaved the area and cleaned it out. It was a little bigger and went under the skin than we thought, so we were glad that we got the professional to look at it. We definitely want to avoid ABs. Zener was so tough that he didn't even squirm for the anal thermometer or for wound cleaning. The vet said to apply warm compresses for a few days. I imagine he will be a little sore for a few days. Let's hope that's all that happens. Otherwise, he's doing fine. Appy is good, BG is decent. He's napping on his pad in the living room.

Thinking of ailing kitties and beans, Amy's Trixie and dad Phil, Tricia and her civie Sasha, Mariko's Lucy. Happy Monday, LL!

Z-Man! you are our hero! Way to go!! I hope you set that kitty straight, no yard intrusions allowed. You were so brave, We luvs you. Come to the treehouse today. Rusty is coming and we can all hang out and do cool kitty things. Plus I wanna see your battle scar! See ya! ~~ Elsa

Hi Anne and Liz

Wow, quite the night you had.... :shock: I so love those battle wounds. it is good that you had to cleaned out properly. Been though so many of those types of things with cats over the years. Keep the area clean, warm compresses, and it should heal ok. Sometimes too I would use a little neosporin on the area, just as a precaution. I hope Zener will heal quickly.

Nice start this morning too. Bg's are decent. here's hoping for some blues, and that he heals quickly. Glad too to read from yesterday that the increase in the pain meds seem to be helping.

Have a great day today. I hope all goes well.

Sheesh! Wonder what the other cat looks like. Go get 'em Z-man! Hope he heals up quickly and it doesn't abcess. Where was Tillie in all the commotion? She would have rocked and socked that intruder, too I bet!

I hope Zener heals quickly and it doesn't get infected. Nice numbers today.

Thanks all for stopping in and checking on our warrior, and for the wound care instructions!

His forehead wound has a little lightning bolt look to it, so we're calling him "Harry Potter".
