Well, I need to take Ebonie (my cat) to the vet today. I took her last week to get a claw clipped (only one was too long for me to clip) but the issue with her toes has come back. It's either a fungus or yeast infection or something like that and it goes away, then comes back, then goes away and now it's come back again. This time, Doctor Sarah (this is the first time that she's looked at Ebonie's claws) looked at her history and did some research and thinks that it could be a rare fungus ("rare" probably means expensive).
Today, she's going to scrape some cells and see if they look like the specific kind of cells of this fungus. If it's inconclusive, the next step might (mind you, I said might) be to biopsy
an infected claw to confirm whatever it could be. If it's this rare fungus, I think that she would have to go on immuno-suppressants for a while and possible steroids for the rest of her life. I don't remember the details.
Also, Ebonie will probably has to have a couple of teeth pulled at some point.
If they have to do the biopsy (if I even choose to go that route), they could do the teeth and claw at the same time, so she's under anesthesia only once.
Her appointment is at 2 pm, and she's in my arms, so I had better go now while I have her.
