All of us who love cats wait for #Caturday to have the excuse to share some pictures of our kitties or cats in general, I would like to share today some story of my cats full of cute pictures or mischief, but the story I come to share today is of a cat that I have told you about before, because he has heterochromia in one of his eyes, his name is Metra, precisely because that eye is very similar to a metra or Marble.

Metra since he was abandoned to his fate in the Urbanization has had on the one hand the blessing that many of us have given him love and food, but on the other hand a series of situations have happened to him first because maybe it was his turn and others because of his character since he is very bad tempered and he fights even with his shadow.

So, some time ago he had to be operated because one night he didn't eat and when I went out to look for him I found him crawling, when I took him to the vet it turned out that the femur of his right paw had come out and he had to be operated, this is to give you an idea of part of what he has lived through.

On the other hand, recently this cat appeared with a wound in one ear, everything seemed to be the product of a fight, a neighbor was healing him, but last Easter he appeared one day with a hole in that ear, which gave me signs of a recent fight, as much as I tried to grab him to heal him, I could not because he was in a bad mood, so I left him alone thinking to let him calm down and take care of him the next day.

Unfortunately Metra disappeared for two or three days and when I appreciated him, they called me to inform me that he had a lot of worms in his ear, that day I was in the office and when I arrived I could not find him anywhere, the next day, April 19, a holiday in Venezuela, he was in a horrible state, the ear was very swollen, the meat was rotten and many worms, I could not take him to the vet until Wednesday.

So on Wednesday I called my work. I just lied and ran to take the cat to the vet clinic, where they told me it would take a couple of hours to take care of him, so I asked my husband to pick him up.

As you can see in the pictures this poor baby had a lot of worms and his condition deserved besides that visit, to go to the vet for daily cures and treatment, because to avoid an infection they are injecting him with ampicillin for twelve days (12), so today he is on his 9th day of treatment, they have removed a lot of dead and rotten skin from his ear and in the pictures you can see how his evolution is going.

On the other hand, something funny, this kitten has gained a reputation of bad fleas and biter in the veterinary clinic, so the assistants and veterinarians handle him with gloves to avoid bites and scratches.

In short, Metra has had bad days, but thank God I was able to take him to the vet, where they have attended him wonderfully and he has been improving little by little, he is still learning to manipulate the Elizabethan collar that has been placed to prevent him from scratching or touching his ear, but soon he will be completely recovered, now I say goodbye waiting to read your comments.

Todos aquellos que amamos a los gatos esperamos los #Caturday para tener la excusa de compartir alguna imagen de nuestros mininos o de gatos en general, yo desearía compartir hoy alguna historia de mis gatos llena de fotos lindas o travesuras, pero la historia que vengo a compartirles hoy es de un gato del que les he hablado anteriormente, por tener heterocromía en uno de sus ojos, el se llama Metra, precisamente porque ese ojo es muy parecido a una metra o Canica.

Metra desde que fue abandonado a su suerte en la Urbanización ha tenido por una parte la bendición de que muchos le hemos brindado cariño y alimento, pero por otro lado le han ocurrido una serie de situaciones primero porque tal vez le tocaban y otras por su carácter ya que es muy mal humorado y pela hasta con su sombra.

Así, hace algún tiempo se le tuvo que operar porque una noche no llego a comer y al salir a buscarlo lo encontré arrastrándose, al llevarlo al veterinario resulto ser que se le había salido el fémur de pata derecha y hubo que operarlo, esto es para que tengan una idea de parte de lo que ha vivido.

Por otro lado, recientemente este gato apareció con una herida en una oreja todo parecía producto de una pelea, una vecina lo estuvo curando, pero en la pasada Semana Santa apareció un día con un hueco en esa oreja, lo que me dio señales de una pelea reciente, por mas que intente agarrarlo para curarlo, no pude porque estaba de mal humor, así que lo deje tranquilo pensando en dejar que se calmara y atenderlo al día siguiente.

Desafortunadamente Metra desapareció dos o tres días y cuando aprecio, me llamaron para informarme que tenia en la oreja un montón de gusanos, ese día estaba yo en la oficina y cuando llegué no lo encontré en ninguna parte, al día siguiente, 19 de abril, día feriado en Venezuela el aprecio estaba en un estado horrible, la oreja muy inflamada, la carne podrida y muchos gusanos, no pude llevarlo al veterinario hasta el día miércoles.

Así el miércoles llame a mi trabajo. simplemente mentí y fui corriendo a llevar al gato a la clínica veterinaria, donde me señalaron que tardarían un par de horas en atenderlo, así que le pedí a mi esposo lo pasara buscando.

Como pueden apreciar en las fotografías este pobre bebe tenía muchísimos gusanos y su condición amerito además de esa visita, asistir al veterinario para curas diarias y tratamiento, ya que para evitar una infección le están inyectando ampicilina por doce días (12), así que hoy arriba a su 9ª día de tratamiento, le han retirado mucha piel muerta y podrida de su oreja y en las fotografías pueden notar como va su evolución.

Por otro lado, algo gracioso, este gatito ha ganado reputación de malas pulgas y mordelón en la clínica veterinaria, así que los auxiliares y veterinarios lo manipulan con guantes para evitar mordidas y arañazos.

En resumen, Metra ha pasado malos días, pero gracias a Dios lo pude llevar al veterinario, donde lo han atendido de maravilla y ha ido mejorando poco a poco, todavía está aprendiendo a manipular el collar Isabelino que se le ha colocado para evitar se rasque o toque la oreja, pero dentro de poco se estará completamente restablecido, ahora me despido esperando leer sus comentarios.
