OK, so Barnum has been limping for several weeks now. He's had a wound, and it just wouldnt' heal. (Needless to say, Barnum and Bailey are inside cats again) So...I took him to the vet.
And it's infected. Not a little infected. The vet said it was the largest abcess she's ever seen. And that, she couldnt' be certain without an xray, but she thought it went to the bone. Apparently, little patches of healing skin had grown over/around some of the infection, so on top of the main abcess, there were lots of little infection patches. WHY didn't I take him in sooner? I just kept thinking it would heal. Ugh...terrible, I tell ya...Just terrible! Poor kitty.
But, just since he went yesterday, he has been more playful than he had gotten. At least he's on the road to recovery!
