So... I just did something extreamly tramatizing for both me and my cat... this morning my mom and I both noticed that the lump on miss angels head was bigger then last night... so in renembering that my aunt sharron works at a vet office... we called her to see what more we could do for her... she said that what we would need to do is give her some amoxacillin... which we have some of... she told us to dosage to give her... and that we would need to open the wounds up and drain them manually... so... later in the day... dad held her head... and I held both back and front feet... mom was doing what aunt sharron told her to do and soak the wounds with warm water... the one on the top of her head started to gush with puss... so we cleaned that one as well as we could... and went through 16 rags in the process... calming her down after that bad experiance wasn't as easy as you'd think... but some ham helped us... little did miss angel know that there was the medication in the ham... she doesn't care about anything when she smells ham... she's just fixed on it... well... prolly three hours after that happened... I was looking at her to see if she needed to go potty... and noticed that more puss was draining out of the top of her head again... and calmly cleaned it out of her face... more was oozing out... so I held one hand under her head in the kennel and with some gauze pads lightly pressed around the hole in her head and got as much out as I could of the top... nothing was happening with the worse looking side of her face... so I then started to put some boil ease on her wounds to help numb it and draw some more out when the side started to ooze out a tiny bit... mom asked me to wrap her up in the towels again so that we could just get as much of this over with as we could... and so I put on both gloves because miss angel was extreamly pissed off with me at this point... I held onto her paws firmly with one hand and held her head even more firmly with the other hand... mom told me to close my eyes... which I didn't... and she pricked the lump with a razor... and some puss started to ooze out... she then took two rags and holding one over the top and one below she lightly pressed on the lump... it squirted out... like... almost got on my pants squirted... like if you were to bite a hole in a waterballoon and squeeze it... I started to feel ill right away... and mom kept doing that no matter how much angel cried and tried to squirm... but we got most of it out... we then put on some more boil ease and gave her ham to calm her down... she's not tied up outside for a while to let her calm down and have the chance to go potty... because we were at that for prolly a good half an hour... I hated doing it... but sharron said that it's what they would do at the vet... only charge you half your house for it... as much as I hated doing it... it's got to feel alot better... she's letting me pet her without growling... though her tail sure does twitch... but if she really hated me... she wouldn't let me touch her... with no pressure pushing against her head... this should get better quick... what more puss there is or will be... should drain out... and if not... the amoxacillin will take care of it... she's not going to like that we have to clean it twice a day though... but she does know that we're doing this for the greater good... otherwise I would have scratches all over me... she doesn't fight as much as she normally does... so I think she understands... or atleast I hope that she does... I love my baby and only want to do what's best for her... my hands are still shakey because of how ill I felt... and I still feel like my stomach is in my throught... but atleast it will be easier for her to sleep.
