Pus Oozing from Ear!
Abby has been suffering from polyps--small tissue growths. As they grow, these polyps are removed by her vet. While we remove them, we still aren't sure what's causing them. And now there's a new symptom--pus oozing from her ear!
We've started Abby on antibiotics, but the infection in her ear has not responded to treatment. We need to do a culture on the pus from her ear to understand what we're dealing with and provide the right type of treatment.
Abby the Tabby and her mom, Dilly, were found outside, living behind a grocery store with several other cats. The store owner demanded all the cats be rounded up and removed, so a rescuer intervened to ensure all the cats were humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, and rehomed. Abby and her mom are the last of the colony to be adopted. The last cats, waiting on Homeward Trails to help them find their new forever home.
Settling into a new home hasn't been easy. Poor Abby seems to be having an extra hard time. Her gums are red and inflamed! She's lethargic, and doesn't seem to be feeling well at all. She can't even enjoy her favorite snacks! And what's life without snacks?!
The sooner we can get Abby a dental, the sooner she can heal and get back on her feet. Once she's feeling more like her old self, we have no doubt her personality will shine through and grab the attention of that special someone who is looking for a cat just like her to join their home.
After living outside for so long, having overcome so much to get where she is today, there's nothing we want more than for Abby to have a warm, soft bed in a home surrounded by people who love her.
