Thanks Lady Elf and Cardinal Biggles!

I think I figured out what the sores are from - I mean what exacerbated the skin sensitivity!
When I saw those two sores appear so quickly, I fully expected to see more of them on her body, but no new ones!

The way she was sitting looking at me this morning with her head up, wanting to be fed, I noticed that her feeding tube is pointing right at the sore, just half an inch short of it.

Yesterday I rebanaged her tube, and did it so it has more play in it, and so I can check the incision daily. The vet had it wrapped around much tighter, and the tube had less play, and was much tighter against her body, AND would be reaching that half inch fartehr out, right at the top of the sore, and would explain a direction of the tear. Both sores have a pointy triangular start to them, like a little rip.

When she turned her head to the other side, and the tube flipped, same thing, it was pointing right at the other sore!

The plug for the feeding tube does have somewhat sharp edges, I can certainly see it creating a chafing or a tear - especially with Tiggers getting more energetic. She does that catty thing where her head goes up in an instant and eyes wide open if she's woken up from dead sleep (when Bubba jumps to close to her), and when it was bandaged up much tighter, I can just see that motion jabbing the tube end in her side. I just wasn't buying it that random sores would have such straight squared off edges. ...and OMG, if my vet says, I dunno, it's probably the toxicity, she's in a bad shape, one more time .... I'm going to scream!

Maybe it happened when we were at the other vet's office, when they were taking x-rays. One tear has a little chunk of fur hanging off of it. The other, doesn't. I looked all over the house and her usual spots and in my car for couple chunks of fur, trying to figure out what and how it happened. Found all kinds of other things, but no Tigger fur.

So... like I said, I rebandaged it looser yesterday, and this morning I taped a thick cotton ball and a pad over the end of the tube, so if she gets jabbed, it won't scrape her up anywhere else. She looks like she has a dandylion at the end of the tube now.

As for Tiggers, she is upbeat, and still eating about 1/3 of her meal on her own, and does pester me a little bit when she's hungry, and walks around a little, and wants to go outside when it's warm and sunny.
