Glad he's back to his normal self

And that he didn't have to have any of his curls shaved off!

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #56 on:** April 04, 2007, 08:18:39 AM »

Am very pleased "Tea Leaf" Codster is back to his usual happy and mischievous self again!

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #55 on:** April 03, 2007, 22:53:59 PM »

yep but its back to the moaning over the naughtiness

hubby just had to get out of bed and "rescue" his wallet again

Ellie · « **Reply #54 on:** April 03, 2007, 09:50:31 AM »

That's great Lynn you must be so relieved

Love and cuddles to Cody

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #53 on:** April 03, 2007, 09:22:56 AM »

have just palpated and the lump has now shrunken so much that i am able to tell it is definately the lymph node and its now back in correct anatomical postion and is no more than a slightly enlarged node.

I will finish his antibiotics though !!

Ellie · « **Reply #52 on:** April 03, 2007, 08:39:45 AM »

How is the handsome Cody this morning

Mark · « **Reply #51 on:** April 03, 2007, 07:45:33 AM »

Glad Cody is on the mend

Kylie had the same thing when I was in London. The vet said it was a catbite. She stuck a thermometer up klie's bum and said she didn't have a temperature. No need for antibiotics, £35.00 please

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #50 on:** April 03, 2007, 07:30:15 AM »

Am glad to hear he is doing well

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #49 on:** April 03, 2007, 07:21:25 AM »

Am glad to see this is going down Lynn - you can definitely see a difference in the pictures. He's still a very handsome fellow!

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #48 on:** April 02, 2007, 23:07:40 PM »

Really pleased our ginger pal is on the up and up. Way to go Cody!

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #47 on:** April 02, 2007, 22:15:57 PM »

i know sam but fingers crossed it will be a once off

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #46 on:** April 02, 2007, 21:57:12 PM »

Glad to hear his lump is shrinking ... wish we knew what had caused it though!

Dawn F · « **Reply #45 on:** April 02, 2007, 09:31:56 AM »

glad he's feeling better!

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #44 on:** April 02, 2007, 09:22:38 AM »

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #42 on:** April 01, 2007, 19:13:31 PM »

Ahhh bless him .... he's definitely looking alot better today and his lump is going down.

Such a poser

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #41 on:** April 01, 2007, 18:50:44 PM »

He's been quite sleepy this afternoon again but i suppose he'll still be fighting infection or whatever it may be.

Just seen this too

ahhhh poor codster give hin a gentle hug grom me hun and hope he carries on felling better and that nasty lump goes down.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #38 on:** April 01, 2007, 17:30:49 PM »

Just caught up with this... Poor Cody

Glad to hear it's gone down a bit, I loved the way he was still posing for the camera despite his lump!

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #37 on:** April 01, 2007, 17:08:18 PM »

Going in the right direction, by the sound of it, Lynn. As I mentioned in chat yesterday evening, I had a blocked salivary gland once and that was hard too, until it drained.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #36 on:** April 01, 2007, 17:00:55 PM »

Lynn, that's fab news......all I need now is Alfie home and then we'll both be happy

Beanie · « **Reply #35 on:** April 01, 2007, 16:52:39 PM »

Just caught up with this Lynn.

I was thinking sting as I read it but there woul;d be some evidence - possibly in the mouth. A fewconfused insects in this part of the world at the moment.

Glad he is doing OK.

Linda (Bengalbabe) · « **Reply #34 on:** April 01, 2007, 15:10:43 PM »

Thats great news Lynn

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #33 on:** April 01, 2007, 14:51:50 PM »

Well the swelling is definately smaller today, i'd say now about 2/3 to nearly half the size it was which is great but its still rock solid. On a brighter note he was playing and being a devil this morning which was great

cant believe i felt so happy to have him being mischevious

I'd say it is most definately his lymph node or salivary gland that is enlarged but god knows why it would be so hard, as long as it goes down tho i'll not worry too much about it.

Ellie · « **Reply #32 on:** April 01, 2007, 14:48:46 PM »

Hi Lynn how is the handsome Cody today

Hippykitty · « **Reply #31 on:** April 01, 2007, 08:37:31 AM »

I recently had root canal work done due to a tooth abscess and Cody's symptoms sound very similar to mine: the swelling and pain along to jaw to ear.
The easiest remedy if this is diagnosed in Cody is to have the offending tooth removed (I've got to return to dentist for the crown!). I don't know how a vet can tell that a cat has this, as they can't say where things hurt.

Other that this, he may just have a localised infection causing that node to swell. Hunt the infection! As a VN I'm sure you know the causes of single node enlargements.

Good luck

smudgepickles · « **Reply #30 on:** March 31, 2007, 22:26:52 PM »

awwwww Lynn poor baby. i would just like to say I had the same thing last year with Gizmo and he had been stung by a bee. They gave him antihistamine and after an hour the swelling went down after an hour...it did look exactly like Cody's. Just an idea

Please give him a big kiss from and and head kisses from my babies too

Hope it starts to go down soon

xx

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #29 on:** March 31, 2007, 22:18:32 PM »

Aww poor little man. Hate to think of such a usually naughty boy being all quiet and on edge. If it is a sting Lynn, how long before he's out of the woods without antihistamines? I remember our Tom was stung in his mouth when he was very young (about 3 months old) and his reaction frightened the life out of us (we thought he had broken his jaw it was so swollen) but antihistamine jab knocked him out for a day or two and he recovered OK.

So glad he's eating though as that is always a good sign. I know what you mean about second guessing yourself about whether the swelling has gone down. Might I suggest you take yet another photo of our ginger chap now and again in the morning and compare the two to see if you notice a difference?

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #28 on:** March 31, 2007, 21:09:48 PM »

Aw, poor Cody! Glad he seems better now.

Nice to see he's thinking of his curls even at a time of crisis

Mark · « **Reply #27 on:** March 31, 2007, 19:31:42 PM »

Just seen this, hope he's on the mend and it's just a sting - poor cody

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #26 on:** March 31, 2007, 18:52:33 PM »

well he seems not too bad, still eating and VERY pleased to have hills on offer again after not having had it for ages. He's not overly playful and wanting to sleep on me etc..seems abit "jumpy" with loud noises and the kids etc so im not sure if his ear is also sore (from the swelling i'd say it quite possible could be..you know like we can have a sore ear from toothache type of thing) and also i am reckoning he's abit scared from himself which is perfectly understandable.

Im also second guessing myself as to whether it has gone down abit or not, sometimes i say yes then i say no

Its very very hard though thats for sure and doesnt actually feel like an abcess at all.

If it is going down the most logical explaination would be a sting but we just cant find any evidence at all.

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #25 on:** March 31, 2007, 18:27:11 PM »

A bee or wasp sting is what initially occurred to me when I read about our poor little model Cody thee Man this am but knew his mom would know a great deal more about that than moi so kept shtum.

My business partner was chased around the office by ENORMOUS (per her) bee the other day and I was chased today by wasp whilst looking for replacement for my old car which serves me right.

How is our young chap Lynn?

Millys Mum · « **Reply #24 on:** March 31, 2007, 18:05:55 PM »

Your cat is so vain! Wouldnt it be funny if his curls grew back in the wrong direction

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #23 on:** March 31, 2007, 17:52:23 PM »

Not sure cody will agree with that millys mum

He's got his career to think of

Millys Mum · « **Reply #22 on:** March 31, 2007, 17:43:14 PM »

Hope the synolox works for him, although i can think of worse things than having to have some hair shaved off

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #21 on:** March 31, 2007, 16:27:13 PM »

Lynn it might have been a wasp .... they hibernate and I had one going mad in the bedroom window the other morning ..... god knows where it had spent the winter (mum says they bed down in the top of the curtains!) but it was really miffed that it couldn't get out until I opened the window and shooed it out.
