Catfish' Story!

The Catfish story!
This guy came to us in August, 2019. About six months old. Wish he'd come a lot sooner!!! He had been suffering from an abcess on his face for a MONTH! It had gotten so bad that the infection went into his skull and pushed his eyes out, making him blind in the process. (IT GETS BETTER!!)
The entire right side of his face was one big scab, which was detaching. He saw a Western-only doctor
right away, and the ophthalmologist soon after. He got x-rays, a shot of Covenia antibiotic, etc. Pain meds of course. He then saw our holistic vet for overall wellness advice, acupuncture, and supplements.
Valiant began to heal...his blood panels improved, and the swelling slowly went down. Long story short, his eyes normalized, and his sight came back, slowly!!! Yes, HAPPY!!
Never give up!
He lived the life after that, affectionate and healthy. Grew. Got neutered.
After one undergoes such trauma, we're in no hurry to re-locate them. So he stayed with us, sweet and mellow. Started to go by the name Catfish. Outdoors almost all day...in at night, or not. And, just lately, for whatever reason (over 18 months have passed) he has been staying on the bed all day, and close to me, almost on my face, every night. He may have gotten a scare, or...?? Ya never know: cats!
Needless to say, our man Catfish is much loved and treasured!
The photos are in reverse time order...don't want to show the "before" ones first.
