Wasn't sure what to expect as the woman who contacted me said he was so old he didn't look like a cat. I was expecting a thin wizened old looking cat but on first appearances he looked quite a good size with a good coat.
First thing I noticed was when he shook his head he squelched.
Vet says teeth need doing, in fact he has a boney lump on his jaw which vet said is due to a bone infection from some untreated tooth infection. One ear is dripping with pus and the other ear full of blue tumours. Vet sucked his teeth and said it was probably a waste of money....
but we have him booked in on friday for bloods and dental ....he did very little else - he's the vet I think is as much use as a chocolate T-pot but then if hes going in on Friday for a dental etc then I suppose it wasn't worth doing loads today. Got ear drops and noroclav AB's.
Anyway took him round to Jill for a proper check up and she chipped the tartar off his teeth, cleaned his dripping ear and had a look - she might take him back in but says its probably the ears that will do him eventually. So Jill has yet another cat!!
Amanda, the lady that called it in said they used to have several cats, one of whom has a burst eye that was never treated. Still he does look good for all that neglect!
