So my son and I ran to the petstore today to get bunny treats...
AND, seen that there were two shelters outside, set up with animals, so of course we had to look. Well I instantly fell in love with a calico kitten.
She was only 70, and it included the first shots, plus her spay was already done..So how could you pass that up??
The only one I have left to fix is Garfield, the other 2 are done,..So I figured if all she needed AROUND NOW was another set of shots, then I wanted to get her...
I know theres still more vet bills, then just those two things, So i dont want anyone getting on me for that..But even our petstores dont sell them fixed, so that was a great plus..
Well we got her home, took her straight to my room to keep her away from the others until checked out...AND she bit me, and bit hard...All together in an hour I got bit 3 times...I dont think I have ever been bit for no reason,..Nail trimming actually being a reason I find appropriate. Then I got a closer look into her ears , and YUK.Im almost certain its mites, ..No fleas detected YET..Her poor tummy still has stitches, and it looks quite full...So do I worry about worms more or infection from surgery?? maybe I am being paranoid the more this almost seems I might have lost my mind by even getting her..
But we've named her Bella..
Behind her ears, right where the ear meets the head on top, theres no fur..ON BOTH SIDES EQUALLY..IF her ears stand up its fine, but when there down, shes bald along that crease..No irritation or redness, etc..But i have so many worries, and because they were about to close of course dumbly I just got her....But now I have to make sure I do the right things of course, vets wont be open till monday so I just wanted some input, being that its not an emergency. I just hope I didnt do the wrong thing, even for the cats I have now..But they are seperated..
I just figured everyone talks about helping the shelters, and these last few months I did the free kitten kinda thing, I thought it would be a more positive experience..
Anyways, Garfield has now bitten me twice..HE shouldnt smell her on the hands atleast because I washed them well. So is he mad too???
Any inputs on ears? what to do with them? or the patches of missing hair, which are tiny, not like big rings..or about her poor tummy? I know to check to see if it has pus or warm,
oh by the way she is only 9 wks
ohhh and when we got in she spit up a nickel size of foam...its worrying me...but could it just be nervousness??
