Wise Old Thumper
I took Beano to see the vet nurse to have her back end shaved as she gets matted, in her older age she's not been keeping up with her grooming and spends time sat in the litter trays. Her arthritis plays a part in this too so we do things to manage it. This time I was struggling with it so took her to the vets, it was worse than I'd noticed and under the mat her skin had torn It looked awful and I hadn't noticed, I feel terrible. It was really big so she's had to keep her in as she'll need stitches and pain relief and then it can be shaved while she's under GA. Poor Beano, I only took her on her own as thought it would be a 10 minute trip so Jake is here on his own. The vets said I could take him in but really he is likely to chew at her stitches as he's into everything and does pull her fur so they'd rather keep them separate, I'm working all day every day until Christmas day now so I don't have the time to rebond if they fight when she returns. I've also been quoted £300, which I really wasn't expecting to pay. I've only just payed off Jack's vet bill yesterday. I just hope she'll be ok and her and Jake will be ok together when she comes home
