well, for those of you who would like to know, Biddy just exploded. My cat, Biddy, got into a cat fight about 2 and a half weeks ago..she has some battle wounds from the fight and tonight i discovered a new one. Mom and i looked at it and wiped it off..noticing that her arm looked swollen and what not. We put some neosporen on the "owie" and left it at that. I was laying there next to her and she began to lick off the neosporen and the next thing i knew she was growling at herself and licking furiously...i looked and her arm had exploded with infection (to put it nicely) and i almost yaked all over...i had to leave. Good thing mom was there. She took care of Biddy and got all of the "infection" out. i, meanwhile, spent my time in the bathroom near the toilet with a pillow...i don't do well with ooze and things like that. BUT, i'll have you know, she's ok. She's going to pull through. But...i thought i would share the fact that she exploded..blew up..even erupted tonight....SICK! poor kitty! i love her!
