Flash’s test results came back negative for Strangles. This is great news for the most part but I still have that bad feeling. He’s still not right. The lymph node under his jaw is very swollen. Something is causing it but we don’t know what. However, I have suspicions.
I think he might have a bad tooth infection. It would make sense because he’s not letting us touch him anywhere near his mouth. He’s had teeth problems in the past and that’s how he has acted. Also, since he’s not really chewing his food very good, it could be the reason for the colic.
I have the vet coming out on Friday to take a look at him. I’m a little nervous that he’s going to colic again before then but it was the soonest they could come. I wanted a particular vet that is hard to schedule with because everyone asks for her. She’s the one who helped the last time he had teeth problems though so that’s why I want her to be the one to look at him.
Every time we go to the barn, the cats are hanging around. This one was just so cute today that I had to take a picture. We call him Buddy. He has one blue eye and one yellow eye. He’s a pretty special barn cat.
what a beautiful cat and what an elegant pose.. I loved this cat, Buddy 🙂 best wishes with the Flash’ new appointment with the vet – the way you describe she is good, so I am sure she will be able to help you and Flash thru this. hang in there.. 🙂
Thanks for the words of encouragement! I think it’s going to be a long hard week waiting for Friday.
🙁 virtual hugs 🙂
Aww thanks 🙂
