Dr. Lee is going to lightly sedate her and clean out and flush out the wound and then we can bring her home at 4:30 with a round of antibiotics.

In reply to: Kate 's message, "Well..............
Maggie is at the Vet's...(thank you Sandy for talking to me the whole way down and back...sure made it an easier drive....)Maggie seemed fine this morning, as I posted below she ate and was walking around...then she walked past me and lifted her tail....here, looks like one of her anal sacs got a cyst (or too big and didn't express itself the way it should) and it abcessed and broke....she was feeling better because the pressure was off, but now she's got an opened sore back there...." on 9:19:22 am, Wed, 07/25/07

Hopefully this new food may help her..it says it's high in fiber and that should help her poop be more solid and hopefully help this to not happen again...
not sure if any of you remember, but this happened to her several years ago too, but that time I caught it before it burst and Dr. Lee had to lance it then clean it out....this time it burst on it's own....she wants her stools to be solid which they are.... but maybe this new food will be better...sure hope so!!!!

Kate, I know it's a bad situation but it sure was nice to talk to you, even if you had one very unhappy camper in the car with you. Oh, and let's not forget that "dead" spot. I'm glad I was around and able to help keep you calm and yes, it does make the drive seem shorter, or at least, more pleasant. Keeping my fingers crossed here that by the time Rick picks her up later, she's feeling much, much better. The book squashing can wait until next week, especially when you've got a "down in the dumps" kitty. See???? You were right.......there was something wrong. She just didn't know how to tell you.

Oh, drat it all anyway.............I meant "boob" squashing........not book.......LOL. (NT) -- Sandy, 11:20:22 am, Wed, 07/25/07
LOL!!!! Still not looking forward to it, but what can you do?? (NT) -- Kate, 12:03:25 pm, Wed, 07/25/07
did you hear her "meow" a few times?? Usually she talks and complains and grumbles the entire way to the Vets..but today she just did a little, not sure if it was because I was talking to you and not to her or what...??
at least whlile we were in the examining room waiting for Dr. Lee she head butted me and purred like crazy while I rubbed her belly....so maybe (hopefully) she won't be too mad at me and understands it was all done for her to get her and keep her healthy and happy....

I never heard a thing. Now........if you want to hear a cat cry, scream, complain and grumble, I'll have to call you some time when we're taking either Cinnamon (that Siamese Yowl) or Joey (little Miss Prissy Pants) to the vet. By the time we get there, I'm almost in tears. And yes, hopefully she'll understand. But even if she's mad, she won't stay mad forever. (NT) -- Sandy, 6:28:53 pm, Wed, 07/25/07
