Moomin is home, with a sore behind. Do you check your pets health?

Moomin is home again, with a sore bum and sulking under the desk. I had to trick him into his carrier with some chicken but once he was tucked up snug we headed off to the vet. Fortunately our vet is familiar with Moomin and his little tricks and was quick to make sure he was a happy cat before giving him a check over. He suspects Moomin may have been fighting and has a small infected bite. It was so small I never noticed it at all, which made me feel really guilty. However, the vet said there is nothing to worry about and he gave him an antibiotic shot and we have a course of tablets to put into his food. Phew what a relief, I'm so glad I took him to the vet when I did, especially as I hadn't noticed the little bite at the base of his tail. It made me wonder, perhaps I should check him over nose to tail more often. After all, he does get himself into some scrapes and often comes off worse in a ruckus in the garden. Do you check your pets over now and again, just to ake sure they are ok and unharmed?
