Today has been horrible. Today is July 4, 2010. The weather is chilly and cloudy here in the Pacific Northwest. I didnt' go hiking or mountain climbing this weekend because it's probably snowing where I want to be. So, I'm wearing my winter coat as I sit and type this in my workshop. It's cold. I'm not used to keeping a journal. Typing this on a 2 year old desktop computer I found in the trash a while ago.
I am very kratomy today. My ears have a slight uncomfortable pressure and spastic ticcing, and they feel congested like from an opiate hangover. Listening to old Dead Can Dance on tinny computer speakers.
My gf and Iwent to a 4th of July party. When we left, we left the window open as usual so the cats could go outside. My gf's friend Nina hosted the party. 1/2 the people there were speaking spanish. I know only 500 words, (all I could memorize on a flight to South America last year) just enough to get the gist of what is going on, but not enough to participate.The food was great. Barbeque ribs and homebrew wine and beer. We brought potato salad and beer.
When we got back,my gf noticed blood on the blanket where her cat Eloise had just she had been laying.
I got the cat who was now hiding behind a bench and inspected her. She has what looks like jaw marks on her abdomen. She has a puncture on her abdomen about 1 inch long and several fang-sized sp5ts scraped free of fur. The puncture goes all the way through her skin.
I got some hydrogen peroxide and neosporin to clean her. As I was doing this, I moved the skin a little and noticed that there is another large punctureee and goes deep into the muscle of her abdomen. It's filled with clotted blood and I can't tell if it goes all the way through. I poured on some hydrogen peroxide and then put on the neosporin. I was reluctanct to do this because, if the wound goes all the way through, anything getting in there could cause more problems.
Shiny, dried saliva outlines the rest of the jaw. Its about the size of a medium size dog. She seems very sedated. Just wants to sleep and won't interact with anybody.
We will take her to the vet the first thing in the morning.
