Scheduling is working still. Already did a conference call this morning, and took Fuzzy to the vet.
He's actually fine. He had an upper respiratory infection, and he has a secondary infection now, green goo in his nose. He was well enough for a rabies shot, and they gave me antibiotics for him. He has a cyst on his back, but that is small, confined only to the skin and is more than likely benign.
Even if it is not, it is growing very, very slowly. It is likely that Fuzzy will die of natural causes far before it affects him, and putting him under anesthesia to remove it is actually a greater danger to him than just waiting and watching. There *may* be a second cyst near his shoulder, but that was tiny, about the size of a pin head, and the vet couldn't find it. It is possible that it was just a tiny mat in his fur, so I'm going to watch for it.
He has a small heart murmur but it's not serious. He's definitely getting up there in age, his eyes are getting a bit hazy although it's not bad. The vet agrees he's probably about 15, give or take a few years either way.
He is most annoyed right now, and we're about to annoy him further in order to give him his first antibiotic dose, but I will be glad to say goodbye to green snot!
