I agree with handyamby, they can do a brain biopsy, not taking out the brain. Taking out the brain is for post humous tests, like all the others have said.

Anyway, we are going away from the subject matter.

I wonder how the little kitten is doing now? I hope it didn't get lost again...

I don't know if Taylor will come back or not, we hi-jacked her thread pretty bad :eek:

I hope she does, I'd like to know how the kitty is doing also.

I think if you can't really afford to take care of them than you have to think about what is best for them.
Maybe it's a good thing?
Hope so.

I would be thinking about locking him up inside until he is healed. (Once you find him again)
If he keeps going missing then his head is never going to heal and it could get infected.

Or... give the neighbours the medicine and let them care for him, ask them if they would like a kitten to look after.

This is going to sound really mean and I'm sorry but if you have a sick animals, have taken it to the vet and got medicine for it, you don't just keep letting it run away.

You're absolutely correct about that, shazamataz!

If a person is going to love, nurish and care for an animal, then they need to be in total contral of where that animal is!

Thanks!

I'd give the medicine AND the cat to the neighbor - hopfully the neighbor can afford neutering, will do so, will turn Harley into an inside cat and Harley will live a long life.

I also don't think this is going to happen because it seems to be more about what a person owns (the cat) than what a person can properly care for.

Meanwhile I'm pretty sure the mother cat is working on her next litter.

EDIT: Thanks for the correction. Can you tell I'm on vacation and just off a Harley?

Wow, I hadn't heard of a wolf larvae until I saw this thread,

But here is another possible shot of it:

I have no idea what site Aledxdfox just posted - I not only couldn't get to it but my computer shut down twice with a warning alert.

Maybe someone else will have a different experience but that was mine -

I did find this but you need to join and sign in - which I am not willing to do. http://edward-t-babinski.blogspot.co...-of-flies.html

The site I posted just has lots of banner ads that probably can slow some browsers down.

Here is a better link from the university of florida:
http://entomology.ifas.ufl.edu/slansky/botfly/abotfly/overview.htm

The topic is what causes lumpy squirrels, which is the wolf larvae. I'm so glad that I've never seen a squirrel like this in person. Its sooo gross. But is obvious what the cat had. Although this post is old & the owner no longer needs it, I thought it interesting enough to share the info. In case anyone else ever came across something like this with their pet.

Hi, taylor2012!

Did you ever solve the problem with your cat?

Thanks!
