It’s Vet day!
No, it’s not a local celebration for war veterans, this is the day we stuck Scully and Yellow in a box and took them to the veterenarian clinic.
The vet was disgusted to just look at them… I must admit, they do look terrible and it was all our fault.
It appears the product we had been advised to put on their “bald spots” was actually helping the fungus on their skin develop. Result: they are now massively infected by fungi, which are destroying their fur. Michelle has it too, obviously, but she stayed home because we simply couldn’t manage to carry three cats to the vet.
So now we came home with a daily ear gel (because the ears are also affected), a daily half-a-pill of anti-fungus medication, a daily, quarter of a pill of anti-inflamatory medication, an every other day half-a-pill of skin acidifier medication… and… la piéce de resistence: a bath every four days with a special fungus killer… anyone who lives with cats knows exactly how fun it is to bathe not one, not two but three cats…
In the meanwhile it’s definitely confirmed that my skin affliction came from the cats but, thanks to modern medicine (i.e., over a month of daily pills and creams), it will not make my hair fall. I should, however, refrain from touching little children, animals and all human beings in general, since it’s contagious.
Oh happy day…
