Kitty has the Mumps, I think?

[CountryLady]

Well actually I think she was sctratched by a neighbor cat. And now her face is swollen including lymph nodes.

Any suggestions of what I could be? Usually another cat scratch causes an abcess. She has had them before on her tail. This looks a bit different than what she has had in the past. Old scratches agound the face are nearly healed.

I guess Im going to have to to take her to the vet. Where to take her on sunday?

take her to mash which is up in prince frederick if i am thinking correctly or take her to annapolis to the emergency vet there. I WOULD NOT take her to waldorf er vet.

Actually, it's in Huntingtown. I took my dog where for an obstruction and they are very good.

Abcess....wash area well, shave off fur, wash again, get abcess to drain, keep open and clean and allow to drain and heal.
Antiboitics if needed....
Kitty will be fine.

Yes it is an abcess. That is what I suspected. She likes to spar with the neighbor cat. lol

I had to go thru that same process a while back, when my cat got a claw puncture wound on her back that abcessed and turned really nasty; but it went away.
