The tail continues (dont read if you are squeamish)

Back to the vet today.. does not look like tail has to come off (yay!!) but we have to clean it quite agressively until Saturday.

One of us holds the poor boy still, whilst the other scrubs the tail with salt water and kitchen towel to get some of the puss out of it (no... not puss as in cat.. puss as in the nasty stuff!!)

Douglas held and I cleaned. Billy was Definatley NOT impressed!! (miaoooouch) poor baby..

Oh.. also the vet says hes a big boy.. on the verge of being too big!! (Ok if we eat too much, its our fault, but if Billy gets overweight its our fault, not his!! )

Douglas and I have already started to watch over the two of them at meal times, as Billy will eat a lot more than he should given the chance. Lilly eats about half her portion, has a break and wants more later but in that time Guess Who comes along and finishes it her for!!
We are now picking up Lillys plate to prevent this happening, putting it down a little later and watching like a hawk to prevent Billy muscling in and getting 2nd helpings :-)
