I may have missed an updated post on Simon, but did he get his antibiotics and is his lump better? Will this treatment postpone his surgery tomorrow?

This was actually one of the first things I thought about this morning when I woke up. All of Simon's aunties want to know...

Here I am. Sorry I had a busy day yesterday, I had an assignment for my bible study class to write and present.
Anyway, I did get the antibiotics finally, I had to call the Pharmacy to find out if the doc had called them in, his office never called me.
They gave him amoxicillin. It is liquid and I have to squeeze it tinto his mouth. Which means, some ends up in his mouth, some on the floor and a lot on me. I had McDonalds for dinner last night, and he loves french fries, so I put a dab of medicine on the french fries, and some hamburger and he got it that way. 16 more doses to go!
The lump does look slightly smaller. I hate to poke around on it because he started crying when I touched it wednesday, but he didn't seem to mind too much today. It had gotten so big that you could see it from the side, about the size of a grape tomato. But it looks smaller now, too.
I am glad he will have the anitbiotics in him when he has all his surgeries next Friday. The doc said if the lump were still there Friday, he would do something about it while he was anesthestized.
He is turning into such a good cat. He is coming when I call him, and most of the time will let me pick him up. He chases Max and Scooter all over the place. Wow, when the 3 of them get going it sounds like a herd of elephants in here. When I am at my desk (which is most of the time) he sits under my feet. Actually, he sits under my feet everywhere I am, even the restroom! I am constantly kicking him when I don't see him and try to get up.
Yesterday afternoon, I sat in my armchair and propped my feet up to take a nap. He came running and settled himself on my chest, just under my chin. Every now and then he would raise his head up backwards and look at me, and rub my chin. It was so cute. We both had a nice nap, until the phone rang and scared him. Such a sweetie. How could anyone have given him up? I always wonder if there were something seriously wrong with him and that is why he was abandoned. It worries me.
Thanks all of you for asking! Simon't mom

When one of our cats got into a cat fight he ended up with one of those huge cysts on his underbelly. The vet lanced it, drained it, and stitched it up. told us to come back in a week and have the stitches taken out. Silly cat bit the stitches off before his vets appt. LOL But Connie, I remember his cyst being huge and hairless! LOL Poor kitty.
So Connie, that's why everyone who has dealt with these 'war wounds' was worried about when Simon dug his claws into your leg, Those cysts usually originate from another cat's claws and they get infected so easily. BTW, you haven't mentioned your leg lately, Hope it shows no further signs of infection or the vet will have to take care of you as well! LOL
Hugs, Mariposa

Duh! Why did I think the big operations were tomorrow? Sheesh, I don't pay attention, do I?
Thanks for giving us the update. I am glad things are getting better, not worse.
He sounds so loveable. He is probably so happy to have a home and some good buddies to play with.

Mari, there never was any sign of infection, his claws were not that long, just sharp! That is why it was hard to treat, you couldn't see where it was coming from.
The vet stuck a needle in Simon's lump, ant said it didn't look like an infection, but he thought it was a reaction from the bite up higher.
Don't know what that means, but I trust him, so I will wait it out and hope Simon doesn't hate me and my eyedropper.
