The vet just called and said that she is doing a culture test for ring worm for hermes and that will take 2 weeks.
In the mean time we have to keep doing his antibotic and keep his cone on for 2 weeks.
Poor guy is not going to be very happy about htat
One rescued Tabby home!
I'm so sorry to hear that; the poor guy must be miserable. I know you are as well - it hurts us all when our babies are hurt.
Let us know what happens; two weeks just seems so awfully long!!

That little stinker. I know that Creamsicle w/her allergies absolutely cannot stop scratching unless she gets a depo shot or takes her Prednisolone. Sometimes the Pred just isn't enough, though, and she has to get the depo shot. I hope the itching stops for poor little Hermes.

When I got home last night Hermes just wanted love and of course I gave him lots and lots of love.
I have to put the meds back on his head again and he didn't like that feeling at all last night or this morning. I feel bad that I have to do this to him 2x a day but it's hopefully for his own good and we just have to keep a really good eye on it.
Earlier this morning around 4 a.m. he got the cone off his head, I'm not sure how he did but he did and my husband had to wake me to help put his cone back on his head.
It appeared he didn't scratch it open again but that cone has to stay on for 2 weeks.
We have to wait the 2 weeks to see if he turns out positive for the ringworm. If so he will be put on liquid meds. At least we know it's not skin cancer which is wonderful news but ringworm I really don't want him to have either....and I really hope it doesn't get passed onto our other guys.
I just have to make sure I spoil him like crazy right now.

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

Prayers on the way for your little man Hermes, that whatever it is, he has a full and speedy recovery.
