Ansley update - (lymph node)


BAC'sMom wrote: Took her to the Dr. this morning First thing the Dr. asked was… Is she around cats? I told him yes my mother has one. He asked if the cat had craws, I said not front claws but she has her back claws. He said has she been scratched lately? (I read this yesterday on the Internet) I said no not that we can remember. So he is going to treat Ansley as a cat scratch, since she is occasionally around cats. Thinks that maybe she got scratched a few weeks ago but now she does not remember it happening. The lymph node tried to fight off affection and then got a small infection in the lymph node. So he prescribed antibiotics and said it should start going down in a few weeks.

luvmykids replied:
rolling_smile.gif I knew that, but I remember as a kid my grandma talking about cat scratch fever as an illness and thought she was making it up because she didn't like cats.

BAC'sMom replied: Well she is not hissing or meowing but yes I guess you could say that. Here’s a link that I found yesterday.

You two are CRAZY! rolling_smile.gif
