Jackie got in a fight......with the vet's scalpel that is.

He had some bumps on his head that I didn't like. At first I though they might be from ear mites since his ears were dirty and I thought the scabbies on his head were from him scratching.....or from Robin beating him up. But I didn't know so I took him to the vet. He fights so much at the vet that they had to sedate him to check the bumps, so they did a dental while he was under too. However, the dental was the easy part - no tooth extractions ro anything - and in the meantime, the vet couldn't figure out what the bumps were, so he shaved the hair, scraped the scabs off and determined it wasn't ear mites or fungul (ringworm, etc.). He was baffled so he called to see if he could do a biopsy on the the bumps. I approved that so poor little Jackie ended up with 3 stitches and a face that looks like he's been in a brutal fight.

Needless to say he was pretty groggy last night when I picked him up. He was still wobbly this morning, but is much better now and has even had two outies - at his request - so I know he's feeling much better. He just looks rough now....as you can see......

Poor little guy.


Oh, and we won't get the results of the biopsy for a few days yet. I'll let you know what they are when I get them.
