Well good news and bad news.Good news is i did everything right by him till his visit today...Clavamox, etc. Bad news is he has multiple puncture wounds under his throat (three there) one missed his jugular vein (which can be seen through the hole) by a fraction of an inch. I got home from work to bathe him and feed him before his visit, and noticed more pus coming out of a hole between his left ear, and his eye. I put a hot compress on it and it poured pus from all directions.
He's on six month quarantine, and there's no way of knowing without tranqualizing him if his tongue will function. The vet thinks it's due to whatever attacked him damaging something at the base of his tongue. She also thought that the gunk from under his tongue was partly his own tissue dead under there, and mixed with debris. I have to keep up what I've been doing, and hope his tongue regains function. He purred so much at the vets office that she couldn't even listen to his heart & lungs! I brought his modified baby bottle along to show her how he attempts eating...just nuzzles food on the floor. He also tried to grab the bottle of lube for taking temps, thinking it was his bottle! I've created and nurtured a monster!
I made the mistake of leaving the bottle in his carrier with him, and the lil brat chewed the nipple off! LOL!
