Well I can say that I've had better weekends but Farside has definitely had better weekends. About a week ago, he was bitten by a spider on his leg - told him to go to the doctor but oh no, you macho men. Finally goes to the doctor and she says it's a tick bite. Tick bites go black within a day, this didn't; I told him that I thought it was a Violin spider bite AGAIN!!!
So today the pain was unbearable and the fever high so we go to the hospital - Farside's been admitted and on IV anti-biotic/toxins - if that doesn't help by tomorrow, the surgeon will have to cut the area out. Violin spider bites are seriously nasty things - last year he was bitten on his arm and now the leg. Have no idea why he's the only person in the house that gets bitten - maybe he's sweet and I'm just a sour old duck?? (Don't answer that.) I'm just glad he's getting the right attention.
And then the vet phoned to tell me that my bestest, biggest bully boss cat, Gromit, (yes, my namesake) has cancer in his mouth - it's squamous so it can't be treated. Just giving him cortisone to help him through.
It's just not been a great Saturday
