Cat Health Update

After her encounter with the dog, Bellini was fairly sedentary for several days. As she began to move around more, we noticed her back feet were the cause of her discomfort. She didn't let us get too close, but we could see that her middle toes seemed stuck together. However her mood improved as did her mobility, so we watched to see if she would heal on her own.

She definitely seemed better and even started venturing outside again, but her feet were still causing her some trouble. So it was off to the vet today. The vet concluded that Bellini had shredded her back toenails on the tree, exposing the nail sheath, which was now infected. Bellini received a soothing antiseptic foot wash and started a three-day course of injected antibiotics. We'll be back at the vet the next two days for the remaining injections. Ah, the joys of pet ownership!
