Ming has a little problem

[katladyd]

Trust me, Ming no longer picks on Kimba. It was so bad, Kimba cowered from Ming. I guess he just decided he'd had enough! Mac growls at him, and gives some half-hearted swipes at him, but nothing dangerous. Ming went in with claws and fangs bared. He no longer does that at all! This morning Ming let me touch the scabs, all that is left of a large, sore, lump, and seems much better. He did lick some of the Neosporin off but he hasn't shown any reaction. There was about a cup or more of infection that drained out, it just streamed out of him. He seems much more relaxed and happy today. I am keeping a close eye on it, but nature did seem to have done her job. It could infect again, so I will keep cleaning it and watching Ming.

It sounds like it was an abcess. It's a good thing that it started draining on it's own or the infection could've spread and made him very sick or even killed him. I hope he continues to recover quickly and that there will be no more biting. Good luck.

I see another sore on his side and I know Kimba has not bit him again. Maybe it was one that was hidden under his fur and I didn't see it until now. Anyway, it is scabbing over like the others and Ming is eating, drinking, sleeping and everything else normally. I hope it stays this way until next month. Ming has always been my most delicate kitty healthwise, which is funny since he is by far the biggest of my furkids.
