sick kitty

We-Ping has had what we thought was leg pain. Yesterday we found a mass on her left side. It was the size of a lemon. I took her to the Vet today. He shaved some of her fur and we noted bite marks on her skin. The Vet said the bite was probably from another cat. The area was abscessed. The Vet incised and drained the abscess and then irrigated it with betadine. He gave her an injection of antibiotic, and sent her home with oral antibiotics. Kitty handled it like a pro. I bought her a pillow filled with cat nip. She chewed on it on the way home from the doctor. I think it helped to ease her pain. :O)
