Poor Pixie is off to the vets in the morning for a very swollen Lip.
It looked a little puffy this morning but not to serious but by the time I got home from work it was very swollen, most definitely infected...
I took a close look at it and think it may be a clogged scent gland.
Anyway I called the vet and she said to bring her in first thing tomorrow morning..
Although it appears to be quite sore it hasn't affected her appetite or mischief making abilities, she just snitched one of Linus's treats...

A few healing vibes would be appreciated.

Lots of vibes for Pixie. Hope she is feeling better soon

BTW, I think Pixie is an absolutely wonderful name for a kitty! Just perfect.

Pixie's visit to the vet went really well.


The vet thinks that it is a reaction to plaque on her teeth. They started her first on antibiotics which she will take for several days. If I don't see any improvement by Saturday I have to take her back and they will give her a shot. However the vet says that the drops should work fine since I brought her in before it could progress to far...

Pixie she was a very good girl. She sat on the table and didn't try to scratch, bite or even growl.


Once she is better she will have to have a bit of dental cleaning done so hopefully this won't happen again..

It certainly hasn't slowed her down any, she just finished her dinner and is now playing with Linus..Both he and Sassy were very happy to see her when we got home..

Pixie's lip seems quite a lot better this morning, the swelling is starting to go down and it is not as red.


I am however in the doghouse for making her take such disgusting tasting medicine


I am even getting the evil eye from Linus and Sassy and they don't even have to take it.


Oh well I am sure she will forgive me when she's all better

I'm glad to hear that her lip is looking so much better.

I've had to give Gracie, Lizzie and Annabelle antiboitics in the past.
I think it was amoixicillan it was pink and smelled like bubble gum.
I thought it smelled really good, but apparently it didn't taste as good as it smelled or my cats just don't like the taste of bubble gum...because they'd make the most discussed looking faces after I gave it to them!

It's great that Pixie seems to be doing better!

Don't worry, she will soon forget about the medications! My cat Tania was angry everytime I would give her the antibiotics she had to take, but a few minutes later, she would jump on my laps and purr!

Glad to hear that Pixie is feeling much better! Funny how those kids let us know that they are not happy with what we do to them! She is saying "Your name is No No Bad Meowmy"!

Well it's Day Two for Pixie's Treatment and she is improving. Her lip still swelled but only about half the size it was. Also it starting to take on it's normal color. I haven't looked inside her mouth yet though, I will give that another day.

She still doesn't appreciate her medicine
which I don't blame her for it smells terrible. You would think they would at least flavor it with something kitties like...It is called Antirobe, so if anyone would like some feedback on it in our case it has worked well, and very quickly.



A couple days and she should be back to normal
