update on my cat.

well my cat came home this morning and his little face was even worse and was swelling so i phoned the vets as soon as they opened and they told me to take him straight in.luckily the vets is just a street away cos he is really heavy in his cat carrier :)
it was as i thought a very big bite wound from him fighting.he has had to have it lanced and a antibiotic injection and some antiseptic for me to bathe it.the wound has now got to drain itself through the cut they have made, its gross.he is lying behind my shoulders at the moment on the chair(leather thank goodness) on an old towel fast asleep.thanks to all who has asked about him :)
