Thanks for asking about Charlie (my kitty).

He's better. He tested positive for a nasty bacteria and is on an antibiotic for a month (and each dose has to be followed with 2 syringes of water which increases the time he is held down so not so popular) and steroids for about the same time. he also has an ulcer in his ear now so that gets cleaned and an ointment applied twice daily. One month from today hopefully he'll be off all meds.

He's doing great with all this but it is a lot of being held down and having things done to him. He's so patient. Thank God it isn't his sister who is rather high-strung.

I hope this takes care of it for good. I haven't gotten to ask the vet questions yet so I'm not sure if he will have this through his life or if this long round of antibiotics kills it. We go in next week for a check-up so I can ask then.

I'm now budgeting for vet bills...
