Barney is an Angel Now.

Thanks for that link Jenn, it sure is cheap on that site! But I ordered one through my vet today and it will arrive by Wednesday when I bring Barney in for his appointment. She said it's about 20.00 but that is Canadian so in U.S. plus shipping, I guess it would be about the same. I'm just so happy they can get it in so fast! I think Monday is their order day so the timing was just right.

I gave Barney his bath this morning and thank you so much Lizzie for that great advice! I filled the rubbermaid buckets, one with sudsy water and the other with clean water and lowered him in slowly and allowed him to grip the top edge. He hung on like a crazy man and it was great because it allowed me to wash his tummy and stuff. He freaked out at one point and was growling and tried to bite me a few times but all in all, it was a great success! And thanks for the idea about the zinc oxide. I bought a tube of that once to put on my RB cat Charlie's ears. He was an orange and white cat and his ears were mostly white and they used to get sunburned. A vet suggested I use the diaper cream and it worked for awhile until we discovered that our other cat Jimmy was grooming Charlie and licking all of it off!! I might still have that tube in one of the pet supply drawers and will give it a try. The polysporin doesn't seem to do much so far so the zinc cream might be just the ticket.

Thanks Mary and Mary! (lol) I really appreciate that Barney's posts are of interest and will happily continue posting them until he is well and adopted.

Thanks to everyone else who posted too!! I enjoy reading them all.

Here is some video and pics of his bathtime! The end part is dark but he is purring up a storm so I included it.
