Long post updates

That it's a Saturday and working in China isn't a surprise because this is the norm here.
After the week long national holidays it will be an entire working week which includes the weekend.
Yes, that's how it's always been and I look at the morose faces of people who've to work on weekend I feel almost cathartic because it's a 7 days long working week for me as well.
:(


Right, I've been MIA
Mostly because yesterday I noticed an odd situation happening on Meera's head of which he seemed totally oblivious.
I saw pus oozing out and his fur had clumped into a small thicket.
I cut his hair much against his struggle and cleaned the wound which I thought was something that would heal as all his wounds do.
A few minutes later I saw the same formation of pus in that area again.
I had to take him to the vet, and this is Meera we are talking about.
He's extremely polite but also wild and unwilling to be held or caged and first I had to line his cage with cardboard or else I kew he'd break his claw trying to escape and that would be another issue to deal with.
After that I had to somehow get Meera into the cage which took a good bit of my morning.
After that it was to the vet we went.

The vet didn't understand the gravity of the situation at first as he clipped at his clump of hair and told me it's a small wound and that it would get fixed soon, but as his razor found more area to shave the fur there was quite the revelation.

Two puncture marks dug in deep on the top of his head. Both infected, both oozing pus.
The doctor tsk tsked and got about cleaning it.
Thin plastic tube had to be inserted in both holes and a cleaning liquid was then injected to wash them out.
The doctor told us that it was probably on account of a big fight with another cat and that he need to get this cleaning procedure done twice everyday for at least a week or until there was no longer pus!!
Also antibiotics on top of that.

Of dear!!
Meera has been kept in the hospital and they're telling me that once the holes are smaller I can take him and administer this process at home.

Dear gods!
Meera isn't going to make any of this easy.

Anyway!
That was my day yesterday.
A lot of phews!!
