Poor Jackson

Well, Jackson was scheduled to undergo "the change" tomorrow. Since we adopted him from the animal shelter, they require us to get him fixed within 30 days. I made an appointment for him to get fixed and declawed tomorrow. Last night I noticed he had blood on his legs. I realized it was coming from his nose. Jackson has been sneezing a lot lately and we contributed it to the vaccine that Greg gave him because part of it had to be squirted up his nose. Greg called the vet this afternoon to talk with them about the bleeding. They stated this isn't normal and we may want to bring him in today because if he is sick, they will not perform surgery on him tomorrow. Anyway, the bleeding was coming from his mouth. He had a cut inside his mouth which was causing him to swallow the blood, therefore it was coming out through his nose. Upon further examination, the vet noticed he had bruises on his inner thighs. This was what concerned him. He stated it could be a sign of rat poison. Well, we don't have rats or mice therefore do not have the need to have the products. We do not know his living conditions prior to 12/18 when he was brought into the shelter. After 2 shots, 2 antibiotics sent home, and $144 later, we will have to wait to have his surgery. We are hoping this is his only problem and the medicine will take care of him.
