Pain in the Butt

It's been a rough few days for Diego-san. Over the weekend I noticed he was doing a lot of licking, um 'downstairs' in his nether region. This usually means there's an issue with his anal glands so I made an appointment at the vet. He endured the trip like a trooper and we were told his glands are infected. So he was given some antibiotics and pain medication that he's been given every 12 hours. (And I have plenty of scratches on my hands and arms to prove it). I must say I appreciate him being so forgiving- usually five minutes after the medications have been given he's up in my lap purring away...

You get a major award for having to go to the vet while enduring 15 below zero temps, Diego-san!
Purrs for a speedy recovery little fellow!

Those pain pills are probably a big reason he is purring, "thanks Dad!"

Aw, poor Diego-san...we hope he's feeling better soon. And we hope your arm heals quickly. ;)

Oh, we are far longer suspicious of mom when she has to cat-wrangle us for medication. You're a good mancat, Diego-san! Get some good rest in over the weekend.
