Swollen Forhead And Nose Bridge..

[nourya]

Hello everyone, before asking my question, I would like to inform you that I took my cat to vet today, but both places were closed, I live in a very small city and country so there is no such a thing as emergency pet care or something.

I took my cat out for walking (I do this twice a month) two days ago, when we came back his lower lip and chin was swollen and red. Then I realized he had red dots in his ears. When I searched it, I found out that it was about using plastic bowls. I have changed them immediately so everything became normal. Today when I wake up his face especially his forehead and nose was swollen. I took him to the vet immediately but as I mentioned earlier both places were close. Unfortunately I took him back to home, I have been searching and reading everything about it since afternoon. Oh by the way, he is 1 year old, neutered and he eats & drinks normally. (I have uploaded his before and after pictures) His skin became red on the swollen area.

Thank you

He may well have been bitten by something, or having an alleric reaction to something encountered on your walk. Cats, like us, can be allergic to all sorts of things.

Is he eating, drinking and behaving normally? If so, you do need to see a vet as soon as you can manage, but it isn't a crisis situation.

Yes he does eat, drink and behave normally. I got scared and felt sorry for him. And lately I got married so he doesn't like my husband Time to time I realize he is depressed. I don't know what to do. Thank you for your response, and what can I do for his back pain, I kept an eye on him and saw that he couldn't jump.

My cat got bit on the nose by a mosquito once and it kind of swelled up like that.

Were you able to get your guy to the vet today? What did you find out about his face and the swelling?

 

[nourya]

It was an allergic reaction caused by some plant I don't really knwo the name, but i have seen him playing with fire-ants he really likes to play! I am trying to clean them off but they keep coming back! Thank God he is normal now! Thank you all for your help and responses

He cuddles, loves him so much and also touches him frequently, which he doesn't like at all. At first my baby ash (my cats name) was peeing on his clothes and pooped every time that my husband tried to touch him. I think my cat is jealous

Look how unhappy he is

I am glad he is doing better! And i really hope he leaves those fire ants alone!
thank you for the update!

I am trying to clean them off but they keep coming back!

Can you get your hands on grits? If so, spread a line of them around the ant bed. The ants take it into the bed as food, it swells up in their abdomens and kills them all, including the queen. A bit violent, but no more so than any poison, and very effective. LOL, us Southern girls learn stuff like that! LOTS of fire ants here.
