In the middle of this. Sassy disappeared. I had taken her to the Vet late June. Something just wasn't right. They did blood work and it all looked ok. I brought her home and 5 days later she disappeared. She was gone 2 and a half weeks. I called and called her. Our neighbor thought she heard a cat. Hunter searched, with no results. Fourth of July came and went. No kitty. Then on the 11th of July at midnight (I don't know what I was doing up) she came through her pet door. She was skin and bones and had terrible injuries. We couldn't believe it. I thought she was gone forever.
We went straight to the Vet the next morning. Looks like she got caught in a car engine. Her wounds looked like the work of a fan belt. Poor baby. So guess who else had to have antibiotics.
After about a week and a half, she was coming around. Her front paws aren't as swollen. Her wounds are healing nicely. I asked Hunter how many lives did she have left. She is nearly 12 years old.
With a lot of TLC she's getting better. She's moving around but limping. We took her to the vet Saturday for a follow up. He said it's going to take time for her to heal but her paws are not broken.
After Richard's 15 month check up, he couldn't quite shake his cough. I got worried and took him to the doctor. Sure enough, he had another ear infection. The doctor asked what antibiotic he was on last time. I said amoxicillin. Then said, wait, we have all been on antibiotics for the last couple of weeks. You better check your records to be sure. Glad she didn't rely on my memory.
And today we took him on his first dental appointment. Sorry, buddy! But he did great. And that's a whole other story.
