Lisa,

I think Roscoe might have had some drainage following his neuter. It looks to me like some cat litter may have stuck to him and when he tried to pull it off he took a little skin with it. Cats aren't usually shaved when they are neutered they are usually plucked (ouch). He looks much too red. Please do watch for infection. Try to pick the litter out of the incision line if you see any and let me know if you see any yellow discharge from the wound. We will get him on antibiotics right away.

She could be right for all I know. If he did have drainage and it stuck to him then he could have pulled some skin off when he cleaned himself. I'm not really sure what happened but at least they know. Since it wasn't a shaving thing then that would only leave the vet making a mistake. I have seen her work for several years now and I have never seen anything shoddy come from her but anything is possible. I'll keep an eye on him and make sure nothing gets infected.

He is bouncing around like a little nut case this morning and sitting doesn't seem to bother him now so it must not hurt as much. Thank Goodness! Poor baby.

Jen, I'm not patient or calm most of the time. This wasn't life threatening and I know that when dealing with the shelter a little patience is better. You have to wait until you can find someone to talk too!!!
