A little while back I had asked if anyone had any experience with cysts and what not. We found that it wasn't a cyst but rather her lymph nodes were swollen. Come to find out every one of her lymph nodes was swollen. She got tested and was found to be feline leukemia positive. Since she was still spunky and full of life we decided to just turn her into an indoor only kitty. About a month after she got really sick. Had trouble breathing and we took her to the vet. She had developed a massive tissue infection in her jaw that caused swelling, and it ended up spreading to her lungs. Just when we thought we were out of the woods on that she spiked another fever and I was lucky and found out why. On the same note I feel bad I never knew what was wrong. Her tail had a big wound on it but the fur had made a scab over it and it was impossible to see. She is a cat that doesn't like her tail being messed with so I never messed with it. I just happen to brush her tail with the side of my hand when I was pulling the blanket up on me more. After I found that I cleaned it the best I could and took her to the vet the next day. Due to all the money I had been putting into her the past few weeks before that, he cut me some slack thankfully. He cleaned it for me no charge and gave me a tube of antibiotic ointment for it. I am happy to say that she is doing well and her tail is almost healed. She has turned into an even more bright and alert cat. She is thriving well at the moment and has put on considerable amount of weight. Shes no longer looking more like a kitten and is maturing into her adult look more. She is mean as can be too. Though it is only in play. She acts like she is a panther. Always on the look out for something to attack, even if its me. She plays hard and has a ball every night. During the day she is in a large dog crate, but at night and early morning she is loose. Anyways here are some pics of her.
Here she is in her crate. While she was still sick.
Here is her tail wound a couple of days after being found. You can see how miserable she was.
After her tail healed up some and she started to put on weight.
Here is her tail about a week ago. Right now it is mostly healed over. There are a couple of very small wounds still that are healing but for the most part it is pretty much 100% healed.
