Aroara's saga continues...update #77(with graphic picture)

[Medusa]

Medusa, I like your thinking on this, and I would've bet you were right!! We don't call them warbles down here, although I'm having a brain fart on what we DO call them, and I've seen them several times in ferrets, rabbits, and cats. I think the doc would've seen the varmint had it been there, though. It looks to me like the hole is already improving, poor little girl!!

Yes, now that I've gotten a good look at the wound opening, I don't think it's a warble. And you're right, the vet surely would've recognized what it was. I'm sure glad it's getting better, poor thing.

O...M....G...

Bless you little sweetie pie for being such a trooper through all of this!

It had been healing and closing up quite a lot through yesterday. Last night it was opened a little more, but it is still looking pretty good. I was a little worried when the top was closing over anyway. It looks to be healing from the inside better now. Here are a couple more camera phone pictures from this morning. The antibiotic makes it look more glossy and runny than it is.

Looks MUCH better. I think the vet's opening it right up did the trick. No little 'holes' for guck to collect in.

How are her spirits? Is she back to living up to her name? Maybe she's become even more cuddly with all the attention lately!

[critters]

I bet that'll be closed up in another couple of days!!

She looks so much better. I hope that she's also feeling better.

Her spirits are fine. She's dying to go outside. She gets so frustrated she beats up on Morgan. He's not loving that. She's been inside completely for a month. She is a little more cuddly, on her own terms and at different times for brief periods of time. Then other times she is a demon kitty trying to escape. She's getting better though. Here are pictures of the hole. It was a week yesterday that she had the lump cut out. She is almost out of the liquid antibiotic, but I will still put the ointment in until it is all healed.
