Apparently Cosmo has an abcess in his leg. He is running a bit of a fever so he’s being sent home with antibiotics. She shaved his leg to look at it but didn’t see anything that needed to be lanced so I guess what we do is just give him the meds and wait for it to go away.
I’m relieved but still extremely cautious. I have had more pets than I care to mention go completely downhill after I’d been convinced by the vet that everything was going to be fine. (Not this specific vet, though.) I don’t think I’ll be able to relax completely until the lump on his leg goes away and he’s back to acting like his old self.

Big sigh of relief. Keep us posted!

Poor kitty. Hope it turns out okay!

I’ve never met Cosmo personally, but I can tell you I like him better than about 87% of the people I am in contact with on a regular daily basis. I hope the kitty recovers and feels better soon.
P.S. no P.S.
