Jasper Poor Jasper

We took Jasper to the vet today after finding him very quiet and reserved over the last few days. It also looked like the base of his tail was swollen and it hurt to touch. We were horrified when the vet managed to part his fur and found a huge puncture mark on both sides of his tail. Another cat! and I don't mean his brother.

So Jasper was taken away, shaved and washed and returned for injections of antibiotics and pain relief.

I must say he now looks a little weird with a large section shaved. But we both feel a hell of a lot better after 'ummming' and 'ahhhing' over taking him.

So as long as it heals he should be fine, but if he continues to lick it (stop licking it Jasper!!)he will be given a 'bucket head'.

So while he may look a little silly now, a photo of him with a bucket-head, will make him look even worse.
