My Charlie cat and I went back to the vet yet again today. I thought his mouth infection was healed but it was actually mostly healed and seeing the remainder needed someone to hold him still. She swabbed it and it still has bacteria but less. The swelling that was the greatest risk is gone and it appears his steroids and antibiotics are working. We have 3 weeks of antibiotics and I don't know how much more steroids (but a long time). The vet said she's never seen anything like this and is calling a dermatologist vet at the university vet place. His symptoms don't match the bacteria he has so it's weird.

Poor boy doesn't know whether he wants to trust me or be angry with me for yet another trip to the vet.

Then I walked my mom's dogs which was good exercise and good to be out in a really beautiful fall day.
