My neighbor came over this after noon and said he needed me to take him to the vet NOW! I grabbed my carrier and went over to his house and we took Double Trouble aka Kitty Kat over to the vets now here is the sad part. My neighbor told me 2 weeks ago that his cat (inside/outside) had gotten into a fight and hurt his paw. I asked him if he needed me to take him to the vet ( he is unable to drive right now per dr. order) he said no that he could take care of himself and that he would be fine so i left it alone. well the other day i was over there after taking him grocery shoopping and noticed that the cat was limping and asked him if it was the same leg and he said yes. i told him he neded to take it to see the vet because it could get or already be infected he said no i have been putting medicine on it hes fine. at this point i was really upset but i didn't have the money or his permission to take him in myself. so today he said that the cat has been throwing up and pooping (reall runny) all over the place today and when he meowed at me when i picked him up it was very weak. i noticed a smell right away its a smell i know well after working alot in the hospitals it smelled like his wound had becomne septic. those who have smelled it know what im talking about. his poor paw has lost all fur and is all grossly swollen with dark green puss and blood coming out of it. i took him up there the vet right off the bat gave him 4 shots then said he neded to stay over the weekend he is going to have to give him iv fluids and more antibotics. please lets work a little magic and send healing vibes his way. he is a very special kitty to me. there was a neighborhood cat that used to live her and she kind of adopted my family she had a litter of kittens on my porch. this cat that is sick was the runt of that litter. he is also the only one that survived and his momma left one day and never came back so he has a really special place in my heart. im sorry this is so long ill go now
