She's on an antibiotic for a few days and I have to keep her inside and quiet until she heals.

Poor little thing!

Thank you :sniff:

She'll be alright - it was just the sight of that open bloody wound that upset me. But she took the cleaning well, and the vet was fabulous! New gal they have at All Kinds, Dr. Schad.

A LOT!!!!

But V. did the right think in knowing her limitations and took her cat to the vet after the abcess ruptured.

Cat will be fine and the abcess will heal....no big deal.....

Doesn't change the fact that you gave her bad advice.

It's really going to piss her off having to stay inside. But she'll get over it.
