Guest guest Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Well, it seems I'm slightly allergic to one of the kittens. I think it's Boo. When I was sleeping a couple of nights ago, I guess my eyes were twitching and he pricked my eye lid, It's been swelling up the past couple of days and today was pretty bad... wasn't sure what it was so I took some benydrill... swelling started to go down... I've just taken some more and am headed back to bed, as soon as the little monsters stop dancing for joy in their clean cat box... >SIGH< We'll see what the swelling is like in the " moaning " . And if you've got kids and you've got to get them up and ready for school, you know why it's called " moaning " and not morning! ;-) K -- Cheers!

A cats claws are used to bury the " you know what " in the litter box and they carry a ton of germs. Did you clean out the wound with soap and water or peroxide ?

You could have Cat Scratch Fever. My Aunt got that from a cat scratch and she was older and really reacted. She had to have medical attention. Cat claws are terribly dirty.

You don't want to mess with kitty scratches getting infected, especially around the eyes! Take care of that wound the same way you would if you got cut by a rusty nail in a dirty dumpster. *Smile* Chris (list mom) Exotic Aromatics - Limited Availability http://www.alittleolfactory.com > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 ummmmmm I am? LOL! Seriously, I am dealing with it, the same way I do with a cut etc. I ignore it until I can't anymore. No scratch... just swelling which goes down when I take benydryl. Which in turns makes me sleepy! YAWN!!! K On 7/13/07, Christine Ziegler <chrisziggy wrote: > > > > -- Cheers!

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 My sisters daughter got it when she was little and got really sick. If you still have problems on Monday I would call your doctor. Good luck, Candi Fairy Dust Creations > You could have Cat Scratch Fever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
