How THE BITE happened

lazing about on san's bed...



Tanaka: I fink I know what happened. san was not in the room so she told me to tell all. As you can see, I am THE BOSS when it comes to who gets on the bed (except when Bujang is on the bed offur cos). When san came into the room 2 weeks ago, she saw a lot alot alot offur black fur on it. But as a human, she sometimes cannot fink furry well. She just used the BIG green monster to eat up all the fur. But she knows eventhough I always jump and run after Megat, I have NEFFUR bitten him. Toro would swipe him when he gets in the way of brushing fur but he has NEFFUR bitten Megat. So I fink you know what san suspects. When Bujang wants anyfing, you give it to him or else he would swipe you wif his scary nails and bite you too.


That is what san suspects. Offur course sometimes my bruffer Toro can be stubborn but he will only wrestle. Although san has told me to tell the truf, I know I need to be politically correct (as I am trying to learn how to be a politician and maybe I can become President offur Singapurr later in the year.....hmmmm) So I tell the truf as much as I can!


san: When I came into the room then, everyone was sitting about looking pleased. Maybe they were conspiring and keeping secrets. I had to put them all in the room as Ms Akira had the living room then. Maybe I should just have let Bujang alone outside as Bujang and Ms Akira are friends and the 3 boys would not bite each other although they do get on each others nerves often enough.

Thank goodness its only a bite!

Megat's shaven site where the bite was. The vet had lanced the skin and cleaned it of pus.
Megat getting some shut eye...

The vet confirmed the site as the result of a bite and she squeezed some pus out of it. I did think it was pus as after the panic attack, I relaxed and went to scrutinize the site and saw some liquid ooze out of it. There was also a bad smell. I smelled it last night but did not put two and two together.

He had a 30 minute minor op when the vet sedated him and then lanced the site. She said it was 1 cm deep and she saw 2 puncture holes. I was healed and the other one was the one that caused the infection. I was very relieved that it was just that (although just that was still quite serious). Since he was going to be sedated anyway, I had the vet micro-chip him too.

When he came home, he had a cone and was very unsteady. The vet recommended that I just leave him in the carrier but he was unhappy and so I released him. He kept sliding and slipping all over the floor. But I knew he was hungry as it was past dinner time. He had some dinner and then went to sleep. I cleaned up the wound and gave him one antibiotic- clavamox.

The wound is now clean, with no jagged edges and I think he would be sleeping the night away without me having to make him wear the collar. he didn't even try to lick his wounds at all. We will see about tomorrow but as I would be at work, I may put the collar on him just to be safe.
