The cat has been limping, to the extent that last night and this morning he wasn't putting any weight at all on his sore leg. We wondered if he'd sustained a fresh injury, or if his two week old wound wasn't healing. Either way, it was time to become acquainted with our local vet. Which has caused a bit of a crisis regarding work ...
I am not normally put on helpdesk duty in the morning. This is a long standing arrangement, recognising that if either of our children was ill, I could have to stay at home at short notice. But the student who normally does several sessions a week is on holiday, so when I found myself slated for morning duty, I didn't quibble. I thought that I would try to take the cat to the vet this afternoon, so I phoned from work, but the vet wanted to see him this morning, in case he needed an X-ray. Hopefully, someone will have volunteered to take my place - I had to leave without managing to find anybody.
Thankfully, the only treatment required is further antibiotics. I think that I've done the right thing ...
