white calico kitten having MORE problems!

Lute,

I forgot to tell you that sometimes horse flies will lay their eggs underneath the skin of a cat. As the larvae grows (I know, tmi and gross) it'll turn into what LOOKS like a bump. You can try and squeeze it like a zit and it might pop out.

OMG! that's terrible. i don't think that's the case...fortinatly!

the vet said that PiddyBob must have accidently bit her when she was cleaning her. said it was a clean cut, no blood. he gave me an antibiotic and sent us on our way. the sweeling in her leg is going down. the bite mark is looking better. HOPEFULLY we won't have to make any other trips to the vet for something other than vaccinations.

Hoping for the white calico - and hoping that PiddyBob gets more gentle with her cleaning. Please take care of yourself, too. Sounds like you have your hands full.
