My cat O.J. had a major health crisis about a month ago. It turned out that he had a jaw infection, and the little warrior never let us know he had a problem. He had to have surgery for the infection and also had six teeth pulled at the same time because they were cracking. They were all those little tiny teeth up front that are hard to check on routine exams.
He got better and was doing great, and then had a setback with another jaw infection last week. He's on antibiotics again, and we're hoping we'll knock the thing out soon so he can get back on nighttime security patrol.

Just heard back from the vet. The infection that caused her anal gland to rupture went deeper than she noticed upon first glance. She had to remove some tissue, and also suture a half-dollar sized hole in her skin. The only funny (for me) part is that she will have to wear the "cone of shame" for about a week while she has the sutures. She also has a minor ear infection that is getting treated as well.
The vet said that she is one of the sweetest cats she's seen. She just sits there and purrs at her no matter what she does to her...lol. The bad part is that everything comes to $230. My best friend already told me "a bullet would be cheaper" and that "adopting a new cat only costs like $35".
