Thanks for asking your friend about it. I think all info is important, good and possibly bad. Better to be informed. I'm sorry to hear about her kitty's cancer and his passing.

Some good news though! Angela stopped in to my work and I said "I forgot to give you the kitty litter scooper that I bought yesterday" and she said "good! I need it!" She said that Barney is now using the litterbox for everything and hasn't 'wet the bed' since yesterday. We were extra happy because not only were we concerned about why he was peeing his bedding but we also weren't entirely sure if he knew what to do with a box because the only time he used it, Angela placed him in it and then he went. But she said she has found all kinds of treasures in there, pee and poop! YAHOO! I asked her what his poop was like and she said "oh, they're beautiful" LOL!! We were laughing our heads off because my boss was there and I'm sure she thinks we've lost our minds.

She said that he has quite a bit more energy today which is great. She picked up the Polysporin Antibiotic ear/eye drops today and asked if I could come over this evening to help administer them. I'm heading over there in about 30 minutes.

So, Barney is hanging in there. The best part is that he seems to have stopped peeing inappropriately which will make him more adoptable should that become necessary.

Angela did mention that there seems to be some swelling right around where he got the Convenia injection and that it feels hard. I'm going to check it out when I go there and will give the vet a call tomorrow to let them know about it. Barney will be scheduled for a re-check at the 2 week marker.

Oh!! And some more potential good news! Angela thinks his hearing could be returning, just as Mary said it might. She has been making some noises and his ears have been twitching when she makes the sounds. It's so encouraging!
