I took
cosettemonster to the vet today. She looked at her knee and noticed that it was swollen and sore. She took X-rays of it and they were inconclusive. She thinks, at the worst, she's got a chipped bone and / or a torn ligament. At best, she got bit pretty bad in the leg. She noticed that
cosettemonster did have the start of an abscess there. She gave me some antibiotics and some pain meds for her. I have to bring her back in a week so they can do another X-ray on her. If she's doing better, then it's probably just a bad bite. If she's not better, that means that she's got other problems and that she might need knee surgery. Poor kitty!

(Even if you don't? :) And try Feliway -- it's a hormone that is supposed to make cats calmer. We tried it when Snickers was peeing everywhere. It didn't help then, but since Arwen and Cosette are on edge, it might help now. Emily says there is something that sprays it around in the room. I (and Emily and Dr. Mary) think it's worth a try.
