Yup. Pets can prove expensive family members when in need of vet. care. A single visit to the vet around here, before anything is performed, costs 56 bucks!

The heat wave has caused wounds among some heavily matted pets, such as my dog, and when his wound turned his white fur into red, I assumed that he had been wounded. No. He had been scratching himself to the point of self-inflincting that wound. I was advised to get him "groomed" but disregarded the advise and went to the vet. After paying for the visit, and for the expensive medication, he basically told me that it was not uncommon during summer among animals with a thick coat of fur....

I would advise to check if this scary cat has got a perforated wound, if at all possible. But if her fur coat his quite thick, try to keep her in a cool place....

That's probably it, ON. Just matted fur causing itching/scratching. We've had some sweltering weather lately, but it has cooled down now, thankfully.

When we checked outside today, there was no sign of the cat and the food was still there. Strange. Now I can't help but worry about what happened to the poor thing. :( Perhaps I can fool myself into believing that some neighbour took it in. Hey, it could have happened. She seemed like a really sweet animal, despite being shy with humans.
