Boo’s Mysterious Adventure
It EndedWell, Thanks to Dr. Green
The Pet Health Checker is a tool that can provide you with a list of symptoms
Boo is a very dapper and friendly black, domestic long-haired cat. Boo’s owners knew something wasn’t right when they hadn’t seen him wandering and lying around the house, which was his daily routine. It was then discovered that at some point during the morning, the back porch door was accidentally left open and at that moment, his owners knew there was a very good possibility that Boo had become adventurous and went outside to explore. His owners became very worried about him. However, later that afternoon, the owners’ son was driving home from school and pulled over on the side of the road when he heard a noise coming from his car. As he came to a stop, he saw a black cat bolt from underneath the car into the neighbor’s yard. He knew Boo had gone missing earlier that day and was suspicious that the black cat he saw was his family’s beloved Boo. Thankfully, Boo got back home safe and sound, but the owners were alarmed when the saw that Boo had some large wounds on his side and his lower back leg, and they immediately brought him in to see Dr. Green. Boo was thoroughly examined and was acting like nothing happened when he came in, but since Boo’s owners didn’t know exactly what happened to him, Dr. Green and her team wanted to make sure he didn’t suffer from any internal injuries. Full body X-rays were taken, and thankfully, they saw no severe injuries. At this point, it was time to tackle his external wounds. Boo was given pain medications to make sure he was comfortable while Dr. Green’s team gave Boo a haircut to further evaluate his injuries. He had skin missing on one of his back legs, some smaller wounds, but more notably, a large laceration on his side exposing Boo’s underlying muscles and tissues. Dr. Green cleaned Boo’s wounds thoroughly and placed multiple stitches to close the large open wound on his side. Boo was sent home that evening with pain medications. While Boo’s wounds are slowly but properly healing, he hasn’t missed a beat and is still his loving self. Boo’s owners plan to keep a very close eye on him and are trying to keep the doors closed from now on.
