I was right (as usual)

Just like I said, as soon as I post something about Otto's condition then the call would come. The Vet called this afternoon and Otto is going to be okay. Yay!

Apparently the "masses" are swollen lymph nodes from the infection/wound involving his tail. Apparently that wound I discovered is the abscess coming to head. Now, I just need to keep pumping him with anti-biotics and hot packing his ass. Okay more like the side of his tail but saying I have to hot pack his ass makes me laugh. He's still rather frail and the swollen nodes are still there and impede his jumping, walking, etc. So, I'll continue to baby him a bit longer but the sorrow and weight is gone.

I love my Vet office. It's actually the place I got both Rufus and Otto as well. They're reasonably priced and they're just over all the nicest people ever. That's why I drive 20 minutes further out of the cities instead of the one two blocks away. BUT... Boo on the Vet for throwing out the C word!

Thank you to those who offered your words of support. It truly means a lot.
