cats – health
July 8, 2008Last week we discovered a huge abscess on Finn and had to take him to the hospital to have it drained – we are really glad we didn’t try to do it ourselves as it ended up being really really really bad and it smelled horrible. I am not squeamish, but this might be the worst would i have ever seem/smelt! We spent a week draining it three times a day and feeding him antibiotics and he seems to be doing a lot better.
Yesterday we took Dart to the hospital because it appeared that he was having trouble breathing – mouth open, chin stuck out, coughing, wheezing… the kept him overnight and ran a whole lot of very expensive tests that all came back normal (he isn’t even anemic – better than me!). At around 4 am he vomited a piece of spear grass that must have been caught in his throat! Kathryn remembers that he did this a few years ago too (i don’t remember this but i trust her).
He is home now and seems to be breathing better but is still coughing and is producing mucous. He is eating alright and sleeping a lot but I am still worried. I think I will take him to see our regular vet tomorrow. I am worried that he might still have some of that grass in his throat.

Given that we are getting messages about our boundaries being threatened and continuing psychic attacks, I am wondering what the significance of these injuries might be.
Abscess – trapped infection under the skin, putrid, pus, bacteria, invasion, bite, injury from a fight, lancing and draining, awful smell, festering… what needs to be drained? what needs to be exposed?
Spear Grass – barbed, invasion, stuck in his throat, coughing, wheezing, choking, mucous… communication? 5th chakra? breath? air = life/inspiration/beginnings? K’s injury from the original attack was in her throat…
