Good news first-
I finally made it back safe to civilization (internet) after having gone without it for a few days. The good news is I have lots of interesting things to tell you about the trip so far. I will be making separate posts on them later (at least some of it will be posted tonight. I'm back in Johannesburg now and will leave for Cape Town tomorrow.
The bad news-
I just phoned home in Bangkok to get an update on Misia. P'Noi (the caretaker) informed me that the day after I left, Misia had a big pimple on her butt which popped and had a lot of discharge. P'Noi took Misia to the vet who treated the infection himself for a few days. Now P'Noi has been doing it by herself at home. The vet had to shave the hair around the infected site to control the hygiene. It sounded like Misia's doing better now, but I am still very worried. The vet said this happened because a gland around the area is clogged by something dirty. I don't know whether the fact that she'd survived the long 16-hour flight without going at all had anything to do with it... or the stress of being in a new environment and not having me there. I feel really bad now. I wish I could cut my trip short and take the next flight home to see her :(
