Just got home from the vet with Arthur [View all]

Saturday night I noticed he kept licking his bottom. When I picked him up I could see his rectum was red and swollen. So complete panic set in. Other than he is acting his usual self.

The veg game us some antibiotics and a topical anti worm medication. It goes between his shoulder blades, just like a topical flea medication.

He didn't see too concerned but said if I see any worsening, bring him right in. They might have to do a minor surgery to retract the tissue. And, of course, do other tests to make sure it is nothing catastrophic. I'm having hard flash backs to Morgan and my worry meter is about to hit crisis mode. I meet my new primary care provider, tomorrow. She's in for a treat.

So the rest of the day will be dedicated to snuggling with the cats. I'm pretty exhausted from hosting back to back holiday meals, anyway. And not sleeping because of worry about Arthur has drained me.

Of course I will keep people posted.
