This is Toby Greg. I know they are out of focus, but I wanted to introduce him ASAP.

He was living in my coworker's neighborhood. A very friendly cat (who unfortunately, is very scared right now).

He has an awful sore on his troat/chin. Looks like a ruptured abcess.

The one neighbor took him to a vet to be tested (neg.) and brought up to date on shots, and he has medicine for his wound. But I found it strange that the medicine is pred. (a steroid) and not an antibiotic. :confused: True, it should help the swelling go down, but........

so without further ado


TOBY GREG!~

Oh Jen, he is adorable. I love his diamond mark on his nose.

I'm surprised also that he wasn't given antibiotics to take for an injury like that.

Good luck with this one. :D

He is adorable! I hope his wound heals soon. I would think he should have an antibiotic too!

Awww, he's very handsome and has that same scared, uncertain look Bonnie had.

Poor Toby Greg! :( (poor me :eek: )

He needs medicine for his infected chin, but I could NOT get him out of the playpen cage. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a cat OUT of one of those cages when they want to stay IN???? I am surpised half the world didn't hear him screaming and me panicking.

I finally succeeded by getting him into a pillow case.

Then I sat on the floor, cradling him, soothing him, even over his protests.

I got his head out (SURE! The biting part! :eek: ) so I could attempt his medicine. 2 pills and a liquid later, I think I succeeded.

I have no choice but to return him to the cage as he is still not happy with the other cats.....which means.........I have to do it all over again TOMORROW!
