Update: Purrs needed for Milo …

SCROLL down for update.

Hi efurrybuddy, Alfie here! 

Purrs are needed for Milo please. He had a nasty accident on Saturday and ripped one of his back claws owt. There was lots of blood and he spent the whole weekend feeling very sorry for himself. He wouldn’t let ennybuddy touch him to clean his paw up; he hissed and scraitched if ennyone came near, even dad hoo is usually his favourite.  So mom and dad just made sure he was cosy and warm and left in peace an’ I wasn’ allowed to pester him play wiv him. He spent almost all the rest of the weekend on the bed under the floofy cover ~ and didn’t eat much at all. He didn’t even want treats! And efurry time ennybuddy went near him he let owt a plaintive meow. It was awful.

He’s gotta go to se the VET ferst thing this morning to see if his paw is OK and if he needs an antibiotic jab. I just hope the VET has got GAUNTLETS on, if he’s gonna touch that paw! He might need some BAND AIDS handy too. And protective GOGGLES might be wise. An’ if he’s sensible he will have insured himself against DAMAGE from a bitey.

Love Alfie xx

PS: I’ll give yoo an update when he gets back from the vets.

Milo feeling poorly:

UPDATE:

Hi Efurrybuddy, Alfie here.

Milo just gotted back from the VETS.  The VET said that he hasn’t ripped his claw owt ~ he has injured his paw pad.  He hadta have a pain killing injection, and he’s now on a course of antibiotics (that should be FUN ‘cos he doesn’t like tablets!). The vet said his paw will get better in time and there should be no lasting damage.

Milo also hasta have 500 milligrams of Evening Primrose Oil sprinkled on his food daily ~ as the VET said he thinks he has a skin irritation which is making his body twitch (he occasionally has what looks like a twitch or body spasm ~ but this weekend it suddenly went into overdrive.  Dad was scared it was neurolgical ~ and mom and dad worried all weekend. But the VET said it’s not nerve damage or neurological and not to worry ~ he said it’s a skin irritation and it will get better). We’re not sure wot caused the skin irritation ~ and Milo doesn’t scratch; he just twitches and then seems agitated and licks the twitch.  We think the stress of wot happened caused it to flare up this weekend. The VET said the irritation could have been caused by a bite from another animal ~ but since we never go owt alone we know Milo hasn’t been bitten. It’s puzzling.

Anyway ~ Milo is home now, and although he is still a bit hissy, he’s comfortable ~ and he’s had treats, and is snuggled down for a warm cosy sleep. Here’s a pic mom took earlier, when Milo was ready to go to the VETS. Can yoo see me on the left? I’m keeping an eye on proceedings, ‘cos I’ve been worried abowt Milo all weekend:

 And here is Milo resting in his Den wiv sum speshull Alfie-Aids I gived him to help him get better:

 Thank yoo for all yoor kind comments and purrs ~ Milo said they are helping him feel much better.

Love Alfie xx

PS: Sum of yoo asked how Milo was injured. He was owt walking on his lead in our garden, minding his own business, when from nowhere a BIG strange dog appeared and chased Milo.  The dog must have gottted into the garden froo a gap in the hedge. Milo was scared and ran really quickly and dad (hoo was attached to the other end of the harness lead) could barely keep up wiv him!  The VET thinks that Milo ran over a jagged stone in his haste and panic ~ and it cut his paw pad.  Dad was cross that the dog chased Milo in wot should have been a safe space for him to stroll. Fank goodness Milo was on a harness and dad was there to help him.
