Harry has been in the wars
Had a big fight on Monday with an unwanted visitor in the garden, large black fluffy creature. Not sure if sustained in the fight which was very vicious or the chase over the fence, but Harry ended up with a large gash in his side which I only noticed when he yowled during a stroke. Trip to emergency vet, surgery around 11pm, finished around 1am, collected yesterday morning. Massive bill, luckily he’s insured which will cover around 2/3.
All very stressful as he’s 14 and not in the best of health.
Cone, not allowed out, he’s a very grumpy boy

Ah, hate seeing them like that, hopefully he's back to his normal self soon enough.

Auntie Reynard sends a very gentle healing chin tickle.

Sleepy “hippy” after his 5.15 am coastal walk. 💕

Sleepy, very nocturnal Thomas kept me company all afternoon.
Even you know who couldn’t stir him. 😬

Poor Harry is back at the vet, he’s got an infection in the wound, not eating, drinking, diarrhoea. They’re going to dress the wound (probably put him in a shirt to stop him fussing at it with the cone, which is possibly what’s caused the issue), medicate and rehydrate him today. Then they’ll debride and restitch the wound tomorrow.
Unfortunately, I’ve got to go to Madrid for work tomorrow overnight, so I’d already arranged for him to board at the vet, so he’ll have 2 nights there rather than one.

Extra stress I really didn’t need right now

Happy 12th birthday to Thomas. 🥰
He’s come a long way since we got him from SSPCA, a scared and skinny little man.

Thomas is such a character 😀
Friends and I were round at a neighbours yesterday for a wee get together.
When I left Thomas appeared from under the neighbours car and escorted me home. ☺️

Sorry to read that, poor wee guy. I've no idea what debride is, but hopefully it's not too painful for him. 🤞

Basically clean out the wound again. He’ll be anaesthetised again

I have no idea why he chooses to sit like this so often. He does it indoors too, the little weirdo.
