Under Lefty's skin
October 3, 2007 - This morning when I took out
Lefty to give him his bidaily eye drop (he has
an irritated eye), I noticed that the crust he's had on his belly the last
3 weeks was gone. It left an open but clean wound, which fortunately didn't
bleed at all. I decided to put Lefty in my sickbay nevertheless, so his
wound can heal properly the next couple of days.
Because the crust was rather large, I thought I'd look for
it inside the cage. I quickly found it, but it
was quite a shock: It wasn't just a crust, but an actual slice of skin with
fur on it. *OMG* It almost turned my stomach, but I did manage to take
pictures of it.
(By the way, it's been two weeks since Lefty's
teeth were last trimmed, and he's still
looking good. So I'm waiting another week before taking him to the
vet's again for another
trim.)
