Bluebell's been in the vets all day.

[smudgley]

Last night John noticed that Bluebell had a large abcess on her face. It had come up really quickly so I took her to the vets today. She was as good as gold & the vet thought she was a star :cool: She had to stay there to have it drained. John collected her this afternoon & she seems ok. They didn't even give her any anaesthitic as she was so good, they put some L/A cream on instead. What a good girl she is. :cool:

[Mags]

Ahh...she was a good girl Smudgley, not many would let the vet do that without some objection..:D

Was it a bite that caused the abcess?

[Elaine]

Poor Bluebell, did she get a nice treat when she got home?

Well when she came in last night, She has to be in at a certain time (like a spoilt child she is) we noticed a wet patch on her face. Didn't think anything of it. John gave her a good brush & it wasn't there then. But a couple of hours later he noticed it. We looked for a wound but couldn't see anything. The vet asked me if she was a fighter :shock: {My Boo-Boo doesn't fight} :roll: So I said I've never known her to, but told the vet about the wet patch & said I didn't know if a cat may have grabbed her there & bitten/scratched her. Seems the most obvious explanation. She's doing fine & has eaten a lovely big tea. :cool:

No & she's getting no pocket money for the next 48 weeks either! :shock:

Oh your a horrid mummy:lol: that Bluebell needs to come here for some recouperation and yummy treats:lol:

[borderdawn]

OUCH!! but I expect she feels better now all that yuk is out! Give her a hug from me, but avoid the gooey bit!

[smudgley]

I would Dawn, but I've got no chance. John hasn't put her down since she got back...:roll: however when he does I'll give her a hug from you. ;)

[yola]

Poor baby :( Glad she's feeling a bit brighter though. She's been in the wars a bit lately. Hugs to Bluebell :D

Poor Bluebell. I hope she's feeling better today.

[Grete]

Poor Bluebell :( Such a horrible thing for one so cute and fluffy to endure.

Hmmm could one of the chickens finally have cornered her? ;)

[Kazz]

Awww I bet John was worried all day....being parted from his beloved. ;)

Glad she is fine now Smudgley. Oz used to have his drained without anthestic too I suppose its because they have no reason to be afraid and are totaly spoilt and know it. :)

But have to say the vet did say to me once they get one they do tend to get others and I have to say that proved true but Oz was a fighter......:( ...but salt water worked wonders, at the first sign...off to the vets.

Poor Bluebell, shame they can't tell us how these things happen to them, I hope she's feeling better today.

[alexgirl73]

[dandysmom]

Somehow I missed this yesterday! Poor Bluebell, and what a good girl she was at the vets. Hope she's feeling much better today......

[smudgley]

thanks everyone. Boo-boo is sad & fed up today. We've kept her in (she's normally out from 6am until 4pm) & we keep cleaning her open wound which she tolerates, but doesn't enjoy. We are giving her tablets & she's really not impressed & to top it all off, John promised her some sardines & he's forgot to give them to her :shock: ....................runs off to remind John he promised Boo-Boo some yummies

[Moli]

Poor baby, hope she is begining to feel better...

[Mags]

Poor Boo boo ...... and naughty Daddy! :lol:

[yola]

I hope she's on the mend soon Smudgely! Give her a cuddle from me :D Poor babe!

[Grete]

Poor girlie, hope she's feeling better soon and what a mean daddy for forgetting her yummies!!

[Kay]

Haven't been on for a while. I hope Bluebell is fully recovered now and she has had her sardines at last.

[smudgley]

Thanks. She is back to her normal cuddly self now & is patiently awaiting Santas arrival. :cool:

[charliebubs]

I'm so glad to hear she's all better - bless her. She has been through it lately. :(

[Kay]

Did Santa bring Bluebell something extra special?
