Hi, I need some advice.
My 13 year old cat was (we think) attacked by another cat. He was very quiet this monring, not coming near for cuddles etc when usually very affectionate and clingy. I took a look at him and noticed a small cut and when I tried to stroke him he was hissing and wincing.
Long story short - I ended up taking him to out of hours vet and she gave him a 10 days dose of antibotics in a single injection and some pain killer liquid I have to continue with every day. She said it was lucky I came in as she found more wounds than I noticed and one was infected.
We got home a few hours ago and hes hiding away all the time. - he is letting me pet him and stroke him but wants to be by himself, hiding in places he's never sat in before. He's eating fine and I''m not going to let him out until tomorrow (I haven't been told to keep him in but thought it for the best just now). Do you think hes just feeling all the medication? or maybe the trip to vets scared him (he does not travel well in the car!) or maybe hes just scared. He just looks so sad, its horrible!
