for Sundar! When will you know when the vet can see him? :cross: and more !!!!
I took him straight to the Cat Clinic. He was not a happy boy and pooed twice in the carrier, which is probably too much information (but I know TCSers will emphathise)Oh no!to a very worried momma, and

On occasion, my dogs come in with a lump or two on their face from bites. I was going to suggest finding something to apply to their faces that is safe for cats and would repel mosquitos. I see that you are going to try the herbal collar. Good plan and hope that works for Sundar. Poor momma.... such a scare for you, hun. 
the saline and salve do the trick!
that he gets some relief.
I had thought of that. Then I thought it would make the enclosure hotter in summer (when the mossies are particularly bad) as there isn't the same breeze-through with the nets. But it's certainly worth considering if other things don't work.*phew* And a lot of questions answered!
What about putting up netting on the enclosure so mosquitos can't get in? I know nylon netting for windows here doesn't cost a lot, and can be bought in big, wide, long rolls.... ?

Well that is interesting. I'm going to do some research on this. Maybe they don't work so well for this kind of allergy (skin swelling, breaking open, sores etc). What is Abby's allergy?
and will start scratching herself bloody in the Spring. It's concentrated around her nose and ears. The vet told us to give her either Benadryl or Chlorrpheniramine. We give her the latter. Benadryl must have a horrible taste. She absolutely refuses it.
I actually knew there may be mosquitos in there, and have a huge citronella (geranium) plant that I planted as soon as the enclosure went up. I always thought that that was citronella. Now I've looked at the link and I can see there is a citronella grass.
That's really interesting, as you would think it would work for a mosquito allergy, rather than something full-on like steroids.Abby has more environmental allergies (like me!) and will start scratching herself bloody in the Spring. It's concentrated around her nose and ears. The vet told us to give her either Benadryl or Chlorrpheniramine. We give her the latter. Benadryl must have a horrible taste. She absolutely refuses it.
Tell me about it, the Benadryl. I couldn't believe it when years ago a vet told me to dose one of my cats with liquid benadryl. What a nightmare for my cat and for me. The cat ran around and around for over fifteen minutes frothing and foaming at the mouth. A horrible experience and one I will never forget. They do have tablets.Abby has more environmental allergies (like me! :lol3
:doh3:
hno: Poor Sundar. My goodness, yes, I would be infuriated as the whole purpose of the collar was to simple protect Sundar from mosquitos NOT cause a holy terror reaction on his part. Oh you must have been beside yourself trying to catch him and rescue him from the "bad" collar. Poor little guy has been through so much lately. 
for Sundar and to momma.
