I posted in the behaviour section about Scooter & Jigsaw managing to get to each other then having a fight, well today I took Jigsaw to the Vets as some of his skin had been ripped by Scooter its kind of a flap that's been pulled away from him on his right thigh.
I know I should have taken him to the Vet straight away on Saturday but I took the risk of waiting to see how it was healing, anyway hes in perfect health the vet checked him over cut his fur away to check another couple of areas. Note I have checked the wound every day to ensure it wasn't infected.
The only issue is this skin flap as its quite deep so tomorrow hes going in to have the skin stitched together to help it heal, this will of course mean having to have a general anaesthetic so they can work on him, I will be worrying tomorrow as I kown there is a risk but hes healthy and fighting fit so hopefully wont be an issue.
The vet did ask if I wanted to leave him in overnight or fetch him in tomorrow, but I said I can nip out of work for an hour to drop him off on the day, I didn't want to stress him by leaving him somewhere else all night
