This baby boy..I love him to death...but he is ALWAYS HURTING HIMSELF!!!! I guess he's like a 5 year old..you know..always getting scraped knees and cuts and sick...but..for him it's drinking anti-freeze, climbing tall trees and jumping off, and fighting...
It's not too serious..but I need some "what to do" advice on a bite. He got into a fight with next door's cat and got a pretty bad bite on his leg. I looked at it, doesn't need stitches and I can't afford a trip to the vet (I payed for prom-tickets last week and won't get paid til next week) and Kyle can't send any money right now because he is saving up to get his feet operated on as am I. I put some pet-ointment (from when Garfeild would get beat up) on the wound, wraped it in a t-shirt and made sure he didn't move it for an hour (Lol held him down) and took it off so it could get air. He's not limping and when I touch it he only growls at me but he doesn't snap at me or claw me. I'm hoping it'll heal up on it's own
Oh! and the cat next door doesn't have rabies and Socks does have his shots.
So, what I did was it ok? I'm thinking about doing that everyday for atleast 30 minuets and then letting it heal on it's own.
