Swollen Neck - 5mo old kitten (pics)

Yes, Clamavox can cause diarrhea, so it's nothing to worry about. Glad to hear that the lump is going down!

Just thought I'd share te woneerful update that after a full week off the clavamox that the lump on her neck is still complety gone YEY, and she seems to have stopped suckeling everything too!

Glad to hear it!! Thank goodness you took her to the Vets' soon as

i love threads like these! when you read through the worry to a happy ending!
so glad that tonks is back to normal! TCS vibes worked their magic again!

Excellent news! Thanks for keeping up updated.

I'm glad your baby is ok. It's so scary when something strange like that happens.

It was very nerve racking!

She is actually at the vet right now getting her Spay (YEY!), since there were no complications from the "mystery lump" her vet said she was good to go

My kitten that I got from a no kill shelter has the same thing. He got it when he was about 3 months old. Took him to the vet. Vet said it was from teething and should subside around 6 months of age. Now he is 7 and a half months old. It was originally on both sides of his neck, now just one. So we took him back to the vet. Now the vet thinks he has some horrible conjenitile disease. The blood tests ($245.00 worth) is not back yet.

Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your cat? The pictures you posted look EXACTLY like what my cat still has. I see that your post is over a year old. Please let me know what you found out and if your cat is doing better.

I replied to your PM!

Could you post whatever you found out about your cat's swollen neck? I have one today that just popped up. 2 weeks ago another cat had it following runny eyes. The vet figured he was bit while playing or maybe an insect bite, but I find it hard to believe the exact same thing happened to a second cat. I feel it's a virus or some disease. Please add any info you've found. Thanks!

This was 2 years ago, and it never came back. If I remember properly we treated with 10 days of antibiotics and that was it.

Thanks! When the vet saw the second cat with the same "lump", he agreed that the first cat must have had a swollen gland (that's what I said it was) too and not a bite or local infection. Anyway, he thinks it's just a really bad virus strain and since I have many cats, they have been passing it around. Another cat swelled up too and so several are on Baytril until we knock it out.

hope they all start to feel better soon!
