Found a MASSIVE chunk of flesh missing on the cat - probably the reason for some of her symptoms. We missed it and the bloody vet missed it and it's too late for stitches, but thank god we had her on antibiotics. She is a real handful at the moment. Here she is looking like a bit of a loser:
I half-fainted at the vets as I was holding her for the bandage. She'd just pooped on my hand as she was fully awake and petrified. I was on antibiotics, so feeling sick. I was too warm, and the smell and the extra blood coming from the cleaning of the now open wound made me lose my sight temporarily and my knees went down and my head rested on the cat's body. I then had to leave the room. Ha, ha - very embarrassing. I'm such a wuss!
