The good new is, Arthur didn't need stitches [View all]

The vet did another close look and said it's just swelling of the anus, not a prolapse. He is a little puzzled but agreed it could be an allergy so no more seafood. So I'll keep him on the antibiotics and he added an oral Steroid. I'll take him back on Thursday, or sooner if it starts to get worse.

Arthur is most unhappy with me, right now but I'll give him his medicines and then some tasty pate. Then some treats. Then lots of snuggles.

I'd let him watch 'Excalibur' but I'm afraid he'd memorize the 'Spell of Making' Siwsan Jan 2023 #9
