So she rung the vet, and couldn't get a visit til 2.45pm. She did let me sleep until just before 2pm when I got trapped in the PTU and taken to the emergency vets on the other side of town. They were busy busy, all the cats in Wellington (and 2 sick dogs) were lined up, mostly quiet and one crazy loud cat. We didn't even get into the vet til 4pm, and he was a bit stressed out, but very nice.
He put some drops in and shined lots of lights in my eyes and said it had an ulcer probably from a cat scratch, and that I had a temperature as well. So I got some a thermometer up the number 13 spot, pain meds, some eye drops and antibiotics. I offloaded a whole lot of fur on my mum, and she had to offload $257 to pay for my adventure.
I have come home with pills and drops. Mum let me have some biscuits and water, a little play and now she is trying to chase me to the bedroom so I can get some sleep.
We hope you all had a lovely day, with a little less adventure than mine.

Oh no, Poppy. Obviously there was no after-Christmas sale at the Vet's! Sending healing purrs and purrayers your way. XOXO
ReplyDeleteOh no! We are glad you will be okay though--even if that was quite undignified...
ReplyDeleteOuch emergency vet bills hurt. But best for Poppy Q to be seen. It could of even been a scratch from a stick. Poppy Q should be better soon. Give her a little pat from us.

We're so sorry you had to go to the emergency vet. We are glad to hear you did see a vet and get medication. We hope the scratch heals promptly and you are feeling good in no time :)
ReplyDeletePoppy, be a good girl and take the meds for Mom. We would not want your eye to fall out!

ReplyDeletePoor Poppy, we hope your eye is soon all better.
ReplyDeleteThat's a little too much excitement for us. We need a nap. But we're glad you got checked out and have meds. Get well, Poppy!
ReplyDeletePoppy! We didn't expect to read this today. Hope your eye gets all better and you are back to 100% real soon. Sending lots of healing purrs.
ReplyDeletePoor Poppy! Those ulcers are awful! At least the doc gave you pain meds. It's sad you probably weren't feeling your finest for Christmas. Hopefully you'll be ready to celebrate the new year. Love and purrs to you and your mum.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer, Poppy! And even a bigger bummer for your mum. I hope you could enjoy your Christmas. Feel better soon.

ReplyDeleteWhat a terrible Boxing Day, Poppy. I hope your eye heals quickly with no after-effects. I wish you would spend your time indoors where your mum can protect you better.
ReplyDeleteOh no. Poppy dear, just rest and let the medicine to it's work. We're sending healing purrs your way.
ReplyDeleteOh, Poppy. We are so sorry that you are going through a painful experience. It sure doesn't take much to get a scratched eye...sometimes you can even do it with your own paw. Or a twig from a bush or tree.
ReplyDeleteWe hope that you are back to your old self very soon.
Oh Poppy,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you had to go to the v-e-t. I'm sure you will be feeling better in no time. Rusty sends his love. He is a bit under the weather as well. Maybe you can trade purrayers.
Kitty kisses and hugs from across the pond,
Deborah and Rusty
