Munchkin Update


Munchkin returned from the hospital this evening. He had gone in last week for tooth extraction and rear declaw. They ended up having to remove a lot of teeth; they went from healthy to bad shape in a matter of months -- the vet said he'd never seen anything like it. The rear declaw is for his own protection. He tends to scratch his face a lot and tears it up.
He was in the hospital for such a long time because of the declaw. He pulled out the sutures the first day; they glued the wounds shut and he reopened them. He has a collar on now and they've been glued closed again; hopefully he will heal up and we can let him roam free again.
The poor guy has been through a lot, and I hope the worst is over now. For the future he can have only soft food, though I'm sure he won't balk at it. The cats prefer canned over dry any day.
