Hermes Wed. X-Ray & Skin Biopsy *UPDATE BACK HOME* Prays for Recovery after Surgery

[Pinot's Mom]

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.

Anikaca77, if it is ringworm, you know that it is highly contagious to not only other cats, but humans also.

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

[Anikaca77]

Yes I am aware.

So far none of the other cats have had any signs of it and Hermes head is looking so much better.

I really think the scraping did help him alot in the this case although he still trys to scratch the cone.

So I don't know if the wound is still itcy but I'm gathering it is.

We are keeping an eye on everyone. We will find out for sure if the test is postive on May 19th.
