How to trot up a cat?

Please don't feel guilty F, I can't imagine many of us would have done anything differently than you did. Fingers crossed he keeps his tail 🤞
 
As others have said, please please don't feel guilty. I would have done the same as you; my puss is terrified of going in the cat box. I really hope he keeps his tail; I'm thinking of you and him.
 
Thanks everyone.

He's bright as a button this morning having slept on my pillow all night (with that thunderstorm keeping me awake he had lots of hugs) and he isn't over washing his wound which is great. I'm just hoping that the antibiotic does its job now.
 
A couple of pics from earlier this evening.

Taking it easy in this heat and a close up of the reopened wound.

I've been very pleased with him as he has been washing the wound but not over washing it if that makes sense? No 'lampshade' needed thankfully.
 
Photobucket put a massive logo over my old avatars and signatures. I have been slowly (they don't like to let me into the site to look at my own photos *grrrr*) trying to save any photos that I don't have saved elsewhere onto my laptop so that I can have them logo free. I'll have a look and see if I have managed to get the cat ones moved yet.
 
That little hole looks so innocuous, doesn't it? Fingers crossed the infection is gone and heckeeps his tail, the pretty boy.
 
The original bite wasn't much bigger. It just goes to show that as we know with horses, a small wound that looks like it should cause no trouble can actually be a terrible thing if it is deep. :(
 
Just caught up with Faracat and I have no idea how I missed it.
Don't beat yourself up. You've done a grand job with him and sometimes the weeniest bite or scratch can cause the worst problem. Sounds like Kasper just needed a stronger/ longer/ different sort of antibiotic. I'm sure he will be fine now. xxxx
 
So Kasper had another long acting antibiotic injection at the Vets this morning. The Vet is happy with how his wound has healed so things are OK so far but she wants to give him another injection in two weeks and to re X-ray in a month.
