BLACKBOB 9 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Thanks for that DIGGIT It is deffinatly fluid mate as i have felt it and its as you describe, hes very sore and whimpers a tiny bit when i mess about with it, but i cant feel nothing hard or sharp. Hes still very babyish for a 2 year old but this is the first time hes gone into a cat as theres quite a few back and foe my garden, im pretty sure a bite has caused this as i saw what happened. Any idea as to where i get CLAMOXYL LA OR SOME SYNULOX LA do i get it from the vets Cheers bob Quote Link to post
