Good morningood all. This past Monday I hear a cat meowing loudly in the flower bed right behind the house. It's the big black cat I've seen several times before. He's never let me get close but that day he did and I immediately saw a big open wound just below his right jaw. It looked so very bad. I gave him some food with a dose of clindamycin drops I had. He devoured all the food. I tried to get him in a carrier to take him to the vet but had no luck. That evening I gave him a clavamox tablet with his food. He has been eating a lot, five three ounce cans last night for instance. Given him the clavamox twice daily with his food.
This a.m. I notice the wound looks like it has a kinda yellow scab or crust on it. Not sure. I've been tryin to get him to the vet every day. Spoke with the doc yesterday and he gave me some med to put in his food in order to hopefully make it possible to put him into a carrier and get him to the hospital. I haven't been able to do so yet and I am just so worried he may get away from me before the med fully takes effect.
I am tryin so very hard to get him the care he so desperately needs. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
