My brother saw that our cat Tortaro (based off of Totoro but got mangled along the way lol) had a large bleeding wound on the back of his leg/tail/butt area. We rushed him into an after hours clinic that our regular vet recommended. $215 bucks later he is back home and coned. Something that he lets us know he does not like. Along with the painkillers and meds. This coming Monday he goes back for a surgery to clean the wound much more intensely and to pull the surrounding skin over the wounded area and stitch him back up.

Right now he seems his normal self but with a horrible nasty wound on his rump that makes me cringed (along with everyone else that seems it) when I see it. Looking forward to getting him past this.

We think he got into a fight or something along those lines with a dog.

Any good karma you want to send his way would be great.

pics when my phone wants to send them to my e-mail (and I'll put the wound pics behind the links you have to click to see for then squeamish).

*Edit* update and pics

Well Monday rolled around and we took Tortaro back to have the work done on his rump wound. When we got there they looked at it and it had been healing/closing up so well that they want us to watch it over the next week to see if it will close over himself.

I'm really happy about that and I'm sure that if he understood he would be as well. He was not to happy to be back at the clinic for a check up and wiggled all over the exam table and away from the Doc and the vet assistant.

He is doing extreamly well and other then not letting him roll over on his back when we give him scratches and pets he is back to his normal crazy self. Now just to keep him from rubbing his cone on the big thick scab as it is healing the rest of the way.

Thanks for the good energy for him.

Healing purrs coming your way. I've tended two cats with really nasty deep wounds, so I know that cringing feeling when you look at it. :(

Awwwww! Poor kitty. I'm sure he will be alright and then happy to be free of the cone. Those things are evil! From the kitty's perspective I'm sure.
