Poor Cody!

Hope he is feeling better soon.

Well he found a nice sunny spot in the window sill so he's been enjoying a warm snooze this afternoon, Ive been feeling guilty as it never occured to me during the day yesterday that he was feeling ill and thats why he was sleeping

Sam i thought about that too and altho i have seen a bumble bee in the garden non of the windows had been open the past couple of days so nothing had come into the house.

I noticed when he was sleeping on my legs earlier that he was putting the swollen side down onto my leg so i am guessing it was throbbing as you can imagine having something that swollen would do.

Ah poor Cody, it does look nasty but hopefully the tablets will make him feel better soon.
Get well soon.

Ahhh poor Cody

Lynn is there a definite lump or just swelling .... I was wondering if he had been stung! Just an idea but it is that time of year when the wasps and bees are beginning to wake up.

Sending lots of love and cuddles to you both

Poor Cody, that looks like some swelling Lynn. Glad to hear he is doing a bit better today.

Ta guys, he's sitting on my legs just now but i can tell he's not as relaxed as normal

I was glad of having an automatic car today coz he yowled loudly on the journey but calmed when he stuck his foot out and i held it

back from the vets and not hair shaved so far..phew !

well vet not sure what it is, like me she thinks it feels abit too solid for abcess and strange there are no puncture marks to be found. his temp is normal and the rest of his glands are ok. She said he is a tiny bit red round his gum margin of his teeth (this is normal for cody as is normal for some cats)
she's given syn injection and tabs to start tomorrow, ive to go back on thurs if no better or worse (obviously sooner if much worse)

he seems less sleepy today mind you and is still eating/drinking..he was having fun puddling in the dogs bowl this morning as they'd dropped a dog food kibble in it so he was fishing LOL.

Im abit worried tho as she did confirm that it feels like it could be sub mandibular lymph node & she asked about felv testing/vacc history etc (obviously given the history of his breeding there arent much concerns for that now however) but we'll have to hope antibiotics do the trick or he'll quite possibly be shaved on thursday.

I left home at around 7.30pm last night and to my knowledge everything was ok then on my return just after 11.30pm i immediately saw cody had a huge swelling on the right hand side of his mouth in the sub mandibular region

He seems well enough but i did actually comment at tea time yesterday how it had been funny cody had slept most of the day, but well we all have tired days i said

I suspect it is a nasty cat bite but i cannot for the life of me see a puncture marks anywhere and his skin is easily seen as its on the white area of his fur. I just really really really really hope they dont knock him out and shave and lance him..my poor boy wont like having his gorgeous fur shaved off

Im not sure if they have an open surgery today or not but im away to get ready and will phone when they open then i can just jump in car and go whenever. Ps.. he seems well in himself today and is eating and drinking..mind you he ate a fair bit of raw chicken cut offs last night too but this must be nasty as it was NOT noticable early evening but was huge by 11.45pm and he hadnt been with the big boys whilst i was away but he was with them yesterday

I knew they'd bite him eventually but why does it have to be his face

off to take pics of this swelling..its horrible, my poor boy
