Twitch Update

An update on Popsicle, as they called Twitch at the Vet ER. After he had been home for a few days, it was clear that although he was back to his normal self, there was something not right about the tip of his tail. It was constantly seeping, which was obviously not normal and more than a little gross. A trip to the vet revealed that it was frost bitten and would likely have to be trimmed. They tried antibiotics and a twice daily soak in, uh, something, but that didn't help and last Thursday he got about 3" of his tail snipped off. There he is above, post surgery.

The image of him in that cone just screamed LOLCat, so there you go. Got a better LOL? Go give it a shot.

He has to wear the cone for two weeks, which is both funny and sad. He's already gotten it off once and he keeps getting his feet caught in the ribbon/string that holds it on, so I'm not sure we'll make it the full two weeks or not.

Oh, and I've also learned that Twitch is not alone in his refrigerated exploits:
