He seems comfortable today, though not happy with having to take pills. He's eating well but may be getting tired of the food flavor he's liked most the last few weeks, so I got a few other options to try. He's wearing an e-collar for two weeks which makes it a bit more challenging to eat or drink without the cone getting in the way.
We talked to an Animal Control officer last night, abusing an animal falls under their jurisdiction but discharging a weapon inside city limits is a police matter, so they coordinate with each other. It is unlikely they'll have any solid leads as to who did this, but it does make me wonder whether I have neighbors I should not trust. Could be kids, which raises additional complications.
Reports of people shooting animals inside city limits with a bb gun are not common, thankfully.
