State of the cat
Sep. 18th, 2009 01:28 pmI took Racky in for an extra check-up today, because I've been worried about his eating (and not-grooming).
The good news is his mouth is fine. But he has lost a kg in the last 5 months. (He hasn't been doing anything much except sleeping and travelling to/from the food bowl/litter box.)
The growths on his legs are becoming larger & ulcerating. The vet lanced the softest one, which ejected a lot of mucous material and then started bleeding profusely, so there is now a bandage on that leg as well. But it may have taken some of the pressure off.
Added to routine:
- change dressing
- clean around claws
- remind cat to eat several times a day.
