Quick run down of the whole story.....
My 9mth old cat cut himself last week (friday)on his leg, right on the knee joint,a bad cut barely missing a tendon,cut was about 3-4 inches in length.
anyhoo i took him to vets immediatly where he was sedated and stictched up given pain killers and antib's.
I took him yesterday for check up and the nurse removed his stitches,she did give the wound a good looking at first...i was sent away happy and not given any special measures to take with puss so thought thats that then!
anyway, within a few hours the wound had reopened looking dreadfull and much much bigger and worse than when i first took him in,the poor thing was distressed and wouldnt let me near him this was around 11pm lastnight..
i tried contacting my vets emergency number.......no answer! but did have an automated message stating the nearest emergency animal hospital,who i rang and the vet offered advice and the option to take puss there lastnight or get to my vets at 8.30 this morning. i choose my own vets as the hospital was an hours drive and i had had a couple of glasses of wine..
So i take puss to my vets this morning at 8.30 and have a little moan about why were the stitches taken out if they wernt ready to be and hence caused puss and myself distress and a sleepless night,the nurse seemed very offish with me as id had a moan but FFS im bloody angry!
Do i have reason to be or should this have been expected?
