fanciful_museThese photos aren't the best, they're taken with a very cheap digital camera, but they prove that Mauser does indeed exist (I really DO have to find my other camera LOL):
We had all KINDS of fun and games at the vet yesterday. First, Mauser wanted nothing to do with the cat carrier. It took me two tries to get him in it and I finally had to stand it on end and put him in, ass first.
Second, we walked into the waiting room and it was - you got it - full of dogs. Poor Mauser, it's quite obvious he's had some bad run-ins with dogs. The fun didn't stop there, though. We finally got him into an exam room and he didn't want to come out of the carrier. By this time, he was so scared he'd gone both ways inside the carrier; when we first tried to dump him out, a big knurl of turds came forth. When I tried to grab it with paper towels, he couldn't tell it was MY hand reaching in, and he gave it a good go with his claws. Things are fine, of course; some bandages and Neosporin and things are healing nicely.
The vet tech that was helping us was quite obviously terrified of Mauser, and showed it. Naturally he smelled the fear and that made him all the more aggressive. He got under the bench and wouldn't come out, and instead of letting me calm him down and bring him out, she was flinging towels at him, getting him even more aggravated. Now, she had thick leather gloves on so why was she still scared to grab him? She finally got him wrapped in two towels and back on the exam table.
One thing we did find is he's anywhere from 3 to 6 years old. He has a full set of teeth and his canines are all busted up. Two were completely broken off, and the other two were chipped.
According to the folks at the vet today, he gave them a real run for their money getting him out and ready for surgery. Of course, once he was knocked out, they could neuter him and give him his shots and stuff without a problem.
He's home, in his little cage (as you can see) in the bathroom. I scritched him for awhile and he started purring a little. Poor guy!
The bills on this really set us back, so I hate to ask, but if any of you can donate any money to help defray the costs of rescuing this little guy, I'd really appreciate it. If you look in my sidebar, there is a PayPal button you can use. Thanks in advance.
