My Old Man

In case you are unaware, we have 3 pets: 2 cats and a snake. My old man, as I affectionately like to call him, is Rascal.




I found Rascal almost 6 years ago after he'd been dumped at TAMUG. Well, recently we've found out that he most likely has an auto immune condition. For a while he's had some small callouses on his front paws. Recently they developed into larger, claw-like structures. Two weeks of antibiotics ruled out that it was merely a bacterial infection. Since his steroid shot last week, the callouses seem to be shrinking.


He will live out the rest of his life having to be medicated, but hopefully it won't impede a long and otherwise healthy life for him.
