Vet can't figure this out

[ranger]

Poor kitty!

Very best wishes for finding him the right help soon

Now the right side of poor kitty's face is all swollen, just like his feet were. He doesn't seem to be in any pain though. Like his feet, I expect the swelling to only last a day or so. He's still active and interacts with us, so that's a good sign. As for allergies, the vet put him on a special food that he's been getting for the past month. I'm off on a trip for a few weeks, so if this hasn't cleared up by the time I get back, I'm definitely looking for a new vet! Again, thanks to all who have responded. I wish I could pass all your thoughts on to kitty.

We haven't used any carpet freshener yet. This is a brand new apartment we moved into seven months ago since we've sold one house and are getting ready to sell another house. Once we do that we'll be building a new house. Kitty should have been over any trauma from the move by now. He did adjust rather rapidly.

It's been over a month since the vet shaved him. He was pretty brave about it. They didn't even have to anesthetize him!

I would suspect chemical vapor off the carpet or from the wall s out gassing

Is that collar perhaps to tight on one side? That could be what is causing the swelling. I hope they find an answer soon and this cat can live a normal life again.

Poor cat! I hope they find the cause soon!

That looks painful. I hate incompetent vets that don't offer any solutions.

Poor sweet kitty! I don't have any advice that has not already been presented, but I do pray that you find out what is bothering him!!
