Mancat (and boycat) Monday

Casper and Jimmy nose to nose |
This picture so warmed my heart! Jimmy is getting along with the boys (even Archie) very well. Unfortunately, he has had sort of a relapse concerning his odd skin condition. On Saturday we returned to the vet (the amazing Dr. D. is back from his germ conference) because his head and ears had several small scabs again and the edges were bumpy and missing fur. More scrapings were taken to send off for examinations and cultures. We have changed his food to something that has no fillers and is just a venison and green peas combo, but Dr. D. does not think it is allergies. He thinks it is some autoimmune thing, but I told him Jimmy has already tested negative for FIV/FeLV when he was with Chrystal. The puzzle continues and in the meantime Jimmy is back in his bedroom until we get the results later this week. Needless to say he is unhappy to be there. Robert thinks we should just let him out because if the boys are going to catch something they probably already did, but the vet said not to...I don't know what to do. I just hope these latest scrapings reveal something that can be easily treated so that Jimmy can join the family again!

Happy Jimmy
I spoke to Dr. D. on Wendesday and Jimmy's first set of test results came in (the second set are due on Saturday). There was no presence of any significant fungus which is good news, but that still doesn't tell us...
