I took Tynan to the pet store to get fitted for a new harnass since he outgrew his. At this pet store there is a cat. Well, the cat was sitting in front of the entrance so I put myself between Tynan and the cat. I guess this cat isn't friendly because it took a swipe at Tynan!!
It got him in the eye. Then I see all this blood welling up in his eye. I got the man at the store to call the nearest vet. They were just closing up but they said I can come by right away. I rush over and they had to stain his eye to make sure the cat didn't get his cornea. Thank god it didn't scratch his actual eye. The nail shredded the edge of the inner membrane (extra eyelid). So $200 dollars later Tynan is okay. I will have to take him back to his regular vet to get a check up to make sure it is healing properly this upcoming week-end.
I did go back to the pet store with the bill. They will be covering the vet costs for Tynan's eye.
Something I don't understand, why would they have an unfriendly cat WITH claws in a petstore?? That is just asking for trouble. Or am I just crazy to think the cat shouldn't be there?
Maybe I should get puppy insurance for Tynan. In the span of a month he has had a broken toe and an injured eye.....
