re /// how moch penicillan UPDATE Harvey

Harvey ,TomKat doing well , some of you may recall i gave him 2 cc of penicillan tues. at 3pm .. . this wed. Early 7 Am , 1st thing , He came to Me , uninvited or coerced , (He never pays me any Mind , Just Loves only my SAra ) the rest of us are useless objects in Harveys eyes ... i had fired the fire place , and had sat on the hearth with 1st coffee ,along came Harvey, he layed down at my feet, rolled over a bit and sqirmed and stretched while purring his motor in a loud nice contented purr , as if to thank me for helping him , (ven Though at the time I gave that rascal a shot he gave me a sqaul and a well placed claw in my heavy shirt, do cats have a soul after all ? Lol? ) ,,as i stroked his ears, and cheked him over , sa w his swelling was noticeably down ,as today went by , Harvey still favoring his leg somewhat but clearly getting along better and bouncing about like the youg adult stupid that is his trademark ,, i was able to eamine the leg , it apears he had a wound on the back of his calf that was now healed over ,, and i wonder if his leg may have been wrtenched or even broken from a near miss with a car going down to the winery behind us ,,, as for now ,i think we will see how each day goes for Harvey , before i give him another dose ,,and this time it will be 1/2 cc ....

Great to hear. Cats are famous for getting abscess form injuries that break the skin such as fighting. The pen will help head that off if that is what happen.

do better if you lighten him up a little. OnceTomKat.

Being an expert in cat husbandry,your Tom was likely bitten on the leg during a cat fight and the infection caused swelling, the penicillin is taking the infection out of it
Had a Tom bitten on the cheek and it infected and swelled the size of a golf ball,I had to lance it with a razor blade,the stuff that came out of that cut was like glue and the smell of it pretty near made me gag. After ten days of popping a pill in him he healed up,he didn't fight when I slit him, I think it was a big relief from the pain. All that was the result of a bite from a cat fight with a big black Tom out on our patio. That Tom lived another three years after and died at the ripe old age of 23,incredible for a cat but not totally rare either.
