Hi,
I had to bring Javi to the emergency vet last night because I discovered he had a deep hole in his thigh. It turns out they thought it was an old injury that had developed an absess and opened up. It was so stressful and he kept making this intense eye contact with me while they were examining him and I'm sure it really hurt. It was like he was saying, how can you let them do this to me? Save me! I stroked him and kept trying to reassure him, but it was really scary for him. And they had to shave him around the wound and flush it out.
Ever since I brought him home, he won't have anything to do with me. Except for staring at me from across the room. When I go to pet him, he leaps away. And he wouldn't cuddle with me this morning either. I feel so sad. He probably thinks I betrayed him. I think he's really smart and probably has a good memory. Our dog was never like this. As soon as I took him for a walk, all was forgotten. Is this unusual? Do you think he'll forgive me? Has anyone else's cat acted like this after the vet??? Please let me know they forgave you.
