Daddy Kiril says that confession is good for the soul....all it did was make me hungry.
Perfect timing as it WAS kibble time.
Yes, I confess, the butt boo boo has returned. Daddy had not checked my butt since Thursday, trusting me to continue being a good girl, so when he checked yesterday and saw the boo boo was back, he sat me down, put the cone on, and ask me if there was something I wanted to tell him.
I swear all I did was wash myself every time it bothered me, no biting!
This morning, when we went to the vet, she said essentially this:
The anal sac appears to have ruptured again, causing the abscess; It isn't very common for cats to have recurrent anal sac disease.
Well, hmph! I feel so damn special...NOT! Um, sorry, hee, hee!
Anyway, I'm back on antibiotics for a couple of weeks, and daddy bought something call Metamuscil to sprinkle on my food, supposedly to add fiber to my diet (Hey, I've been eating right nicely since the last check, having gained a lb!).
If my diet doesn't relieve the problem the anal sacs can be removed surgically; us domesticated cats, having no need to mark our territory, would not be adversely affected by having them removed.
All about Anal Sac Disease in cats.
Now on to a more pleasant topic...Sneakers continuing education...
We are sorry that this problem has re-occured, Elvira. :( We sure hope that Metamucil helps.
Hey, Sneakers, let us know if you figure out how to work that pen, okay? We thought they were just for batting around. :)

I am sending healing purrs your way, Elvira! That kind of abscess can only be extra-uncomfortable! And I will tell you a secret - we don't always use pens for writing around here too!
