    Poor little Grace...I hope she's getting rid of that nasty lump now at the vet's. It's scary finding those on our babies.

    Please let us know how your sweetie makes out.

    The vet tech had me scared to death ... said it felt more like a lymph node rather than an abscess!!! Well, I was the one who was right! Thank GOD, it was an abscess. Apparently some nawtee kitty smacked my Gracie girl pretty nastily on the chin! The vet stuck a needle in and pulled out pure pus .... YUCK!!! She didn't lance it yet, said to put warm compresses on it 3 times a day, and it will eventually burst and drain! I think Miss Gracie Mae is going to have to be kenneled for a wee bit. Don't like the idea of that thing bursting just anywhere!

    My poor girl is running a fever of 105.4!!!! I can't believe I just noticed this last night. I sure hope it hasn't been like this for very long! She has an antibiotic and thankfully, some pain medicine too!

    Thanks for the good thoughts and prayers for my special girl!

    Well, the good news is that it is something dealt with relatively easily. And that is the BEST news there is with a vet visit!! Cheer up, Grace, you will be back to bopping around the house in no time.

    Kim ~ I'm so glad to hear it isn't something more serious. But, I am worried about the fever. When Halo had a bad reaction to her vaccination and her fever went up to 105, the vet insisted on keeping her there and bathing her in cool water to bring down the fever. If she doesn't start feeling better soon, you might call the vet back and ask if a cool water bath is recommended.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Thank you everyone.

    Lisa, I'm keeping a close eye on her. She's walking around quite a bit, so I don't think she is feeling too awfully bad.
