Kizzy has been to the vet
I looked at the sore place on Kizzy's side this afternoon and thought the area had got bigger, so phoned for an appointment. My vet practice has 3 different surgeries and the one I normally go to was fully booked and had had a difficult day with a dental that had taken far longer than anticipated, so I had to take Kizzy to the Bognor surgery. Poor lass.
Anyway, the vet was a chap whom I know and who used to treat Merlin. He reckoned it was a good call and thinks that there may have been an abscess which has burst. Kizzy had an anti-inflammatory, a painkiller and a long acting antibiotic. He thinks that the hole will begin to close on its own, but it may need stitches if no progress is seen by next Monday/Tuesday.
That round trip took 2 hours! My poor wee Kizzy looks brighter already - I thought she had been quieter than usual this afternoon and not able to settle down. Can't bear the thought of my darling feeling poorly over the weekend - although my vet surgery does run their own emergency cover.
