Hematoma

[Catzzzmeow]

Last night at dinner time I saw Ochi had a very slight curl in his ear. ALARM bells went off ….as a helicopter mom I immediately knew it was a hematoma and set up a checkup for today (of course our favorite/main vet is off Wednesdays UGH.) I put an e-collar on immediately. Vet visit went well…said we did right with the e-collar…due to HCM (heart disease) the vet did not want to go the steroid way as that can add to progression of heart disease. So for now Tresaderm drops 7 days and Gabapentin for 3 days to keep him calm is the plan. PLEASE do not ask for updates. You all know by now I will be sure to update you all in this post. Dealing with HCM with him and this blip is not something I need. You all know I am “real” but just do not the extra want extra stressors

It is very new and vet said she wasn’t even sure it was not a bug bite, but my gut said nope Glad I threw on the collar if it was a hematoma…will update tomorrow.

It doesn’t look any worse and not as red so I am happy today. He is not happy about the cone but it helps to slow him down and not scratch it. He’s such a sweet/good boy.
