Cat Bitten by Rattlesnake

Jingles for Rocket’s continuing recovery! I just now saw this thread. He’s had quite an ordeal.

Zu Zu…I tried to send you something but your mailbox is full again.

I’ll try to fix it / get space - can’t log in on computer ?!? :mad: :eek: ZZ Coth had gone batshitcrazy !
never ending hassles with mailbox and log in
tough to delete from iPhone keyboard covers the space
don’t give up : I’ll figure it out … have to shovel $hit right now - oh yeah and

it’s. HOT ! Hot shit ! :lol:

We’re now one week post bite and my little orange man is just about back to normal. So much so, in fact, that he tried to bolt outside again yesterday. This time though we were ready for it.

The necrosis on his head seems to have stopped spreading and I noticed some new, healthy tissue starting to grow in. It’s definitely itchy but so far he hasn’t made it worse.

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers, jingles, and good thoughts. I can’t believe my little man is just fine now!!:smiley:

Great great Rocket report !!! Thanks for updating ~

  • it’s on its way today USPS :smiley: please use messenger to confirm when the ’ shuttle lands ’ :lol: mailbox is dead ! :eek::mad:

Such good news for the little orange man. He is such a handsome fellow, and a very lucky guy.

Rocket update ? Please

Sorry I have been slacking on updates!

I took Rocket back to the vet yesterday for a recheck. His blood work came back perfect! The scab fell off the hole in his head and revealed nothing but healthy tissue underneath. The vet said the debridement was unnecessary! He is completely back to normal and he seems to have no interest in trying to bolt outside either :wink:

Thank you everyone for your jingles, prayers, and generosity! There are so many wonderful people on this board. We’re so grateful for everyone

He’s such a special baby! I found him the night we moved into our house at 4 weeks old as an orphan hiding in a tumbleweed on the side of the road. We definitely have a special bond.

I’ll definitely keep you in mind though if something disastrous happens and I need to find him a home :wink:

Here he was the night I found him as a tiny, terrified baby.

Smitten with your ‘kitten’ ! now handsome lad !

He’s so cute. Glad he’s feeling better!

Wonderful news!

I’ve always been biased about my own three red cats, most especially my Rotten Ralph. But everyone I speak to that has a ginger cat says the same thing…that they are extroridinary.
