I took Oscar for a walk last night. He’s been pretty docile lately and I have been saying I wanted to walk him more so we headed out the door at 10 pm for a quick walk.
I say walk but what I really mean is stand. I stand and Oscar eats grass and rolls on the sidewalk. After about fifteen minutes of this I pick him up to head inside. As soon as I start picking him up he meows loudly and latches onto me.
When we get upstairs I noticed that the right side of his face had swollen up. I wake Sam up to ask her about it but she is too groggy to reply coherently.
This morning I got up and his face was still swollen. After a little research by Sam and myself and it looks most likely to be a bad sting or bug bite. A little deeper research and it could possible be an abscess or broken tooth.
Upon return from work he still is swollen and acting very lethargic. I didn’t think he had eaten so I bought snacks and Nutritional Cat Milk. He had sitting in the window for hours so I brought the food and some water to him. He drank a lot of water and some of the food but still laid there lazily.
He does purr when I pet him. He still uses the litter box. But hasn’t made a peep since last night. I called the vet and have an appointment in the morning to bring him in.
He looks sad and tired. I hope the vet can fix him up.
