This could be an abscess, which could get infected-if it hasn't already. An abscess would be very likely if your cat is an outdoor cat or you have a multiple cat household. I'd take kitty to the vet so that he/she can drain it and give him some antibiotics. In the meantime, you can put warm compresses on him for 5-10 minutes at a time a couple of times a day.

You CAN use Neosporin, however, I just googled and read...."most cat wounds are punctures. Punctures that close over at skin level become abscesses. Abscesses need treatment. If you use Neosporin, make sure to clean the wound every day and check it more often to prevent a worse problem." If it's looking gross, it may already be abscessed and probably is since it's been over a month in which case kitty would need the vet, the area cleaned out, then antibiotics.

Hi, I am 33 yrs old with no prior history of stomach problems. Last month I had an appendectomy for a ruptured appendix. I believe I had the appendectomy not more than 12 hours after the appendix ruptured. The surgeon did an open surgery, and I stayed at the hospital for 5 days on antibiotic IV, followed by oral antibiotics after I was discharged.

Possible causes are abdominal bleeding, organ rupture, or inflammation of the abdominal wall lining. Lumps, Bumps, Swelling - any local swelling of any size on your cat could be an abscess but it could also be a tumor (benign or malignant), cyst, insect bite, hematoma, fracture, or soft tissue trauma (sprain, pocket of fluid such as infected oil gland). Vet care should immediate. http://www.sniksnak.com/cathealth/vet.

The only way I can keep any food down at all is if it's tiny (aka a granola bar, or half a slice of toast.). - Immediate onset of stomach bloating. I go from a completely flat stomach to sticking out about 3-4 inches(sometimes more) and looking as if I'm a few months pregnant. Persists even after vomiting. - Whilst lying on my back, there is a large mass/lump thing around my belly button area that I can push and move around. Painful when pressure is on it.

I'm desperate for some kind of solution. Is this just a male cat thing? I had a male cat years ago, and a few cats between then and now (all female), and I've NEVER smelled a stench from a cat like what comes from this guy--not even from any cat that a friend or family member owns. Did I just get "lucky" enough to get the world's sweetest and best cat, with his one downside being comparable with a skunk's stench?

( What is going on? I am worried that my body is trying to tell me something. only meds I take are thyroid meds (synthroid), lowertab (for pain from hern disc.) and vit D (50,000ui every 3 days)(my vit D is LOW 6 (should be around 100). Have new issues with abnormal liver ultrasounds with slightly high liver enzyms. (that is all I know about it as of yet.) Doc wants to repeat test in one month. any ideas?

thanks for the advice i found it was called anal glands which is rare in cats and dogs. and the cat had an infection and had to have surgery and stitches yesterday.

Mind you, I feed my cat a combination of cat and dry but the little one seems to get an upset stomach with wet foods. That goes to show me not even wet food is good! I guess it is also processed in a different way. I am a strong believer of raw meat for a cat. I'm sorry if you felt like I was going off on you. I was not. I was just trying to state a point and let you all know what I believe in, I wasn't trying to make anybody believe what I believe because that'd be selfish.

but if it's spreading badly it would explain the symptoms. It could also be a sign of a stomach ailment. Even a solo indoor cat can pick up a parasite infection, it's actually not uncommon. Look in your cat's mouth for any signs of dental issues and take a close look at his stool (although that won't necessarily tell you if there's a parasite, depending on the type). Also; your cat is at an age where they start to develop some of the older cat conditions, like diabetes and hyperthyroidism.

A week following my surgery (about 2 days after I returned home from the hospital) I developed a kidney infection, which was treated with Cipro. Then, a week following that, I started having more stomach pain, along with diarrhea. A CT Scan revealed "Acute Diverticulitis". I was put on Levaquin/500mg & Flagyl/500mg. I have been on this for six days. I have had moderate to severe diarrhea for two weeks now. I just assumed that it was from all of the antibiotics I've been on.

Right side pain and tenderness should be investigated for appendicitis and appendicular abscess. It can also be a kidney abscess or a psoas muscle abscess. If the pain is higher up, it can a liver infection, gall stones, liver abscess or subdiaphragmatic (below the diaphragm) abscess. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

A month after my surgery, I developed an infection in my belly button with an abscess forming in the incision. That has since cleared up, but the pain is still there. I've also been consistently bloated, especially around my belly button, ever since the surgery- which NEVER has happened before. This is my third lap. Also since the surgery, I've had recurring issues with constipation, heart burn around an hour after I eat, and waves of nausea. Any idea what could be going on?

Doctor called earlier today saying the ultrasound was normal but didn't offer any other details. Even if the ultrasound came back normal, should I still get a CAT Scan? I've gotten no answers from the doctors about what it is, and the lump has gotten bigger in the last couple days. It's uncomfortable to sit or lay down for long periods of time. Basically the main question is, even if the ultrasound came back to be normal, is there still a possibility that something is wrong?

I got my kitten about a month and a half ago and when I first got her she had some abscess on her neck where I started to treat them myself and they seemed to be getting better. About three weeks ago I took her to the vet because they weren't fully healed and she seemed to have a bit of a sneeze. He then decided to put her on some anti-biotic to treat the abscess as well as the small cold she had.

I went for a colonoscopy not to long ago. The Dr. told me I had diverticulitis or is it diveticulosis anyway he said it was nothing to wory about because about 85 of all people tested have it. Is this true or something else to worry about. Thanks for your input.

Hi, I was rushed in for an emergency operation 3 years ago due to severe abdominal pains (suspected abscess on my appendix) where a 20cm cyst was found in my abdomen. About 1liter was drained from it and it was found only to contain lymphocytes and nothing more serious. Since then it has grown back so I had drain fitted under CT scan. This did not work due to the structure of the cyst. It has since grown even bigger and I often get stomach pains.

I went back to see the doctor and he referred me for an ultrasound, which is not for another 10 days. I then developed another abscessed tooth (I seem to have a chronic periodontal abscess formation) so I'm back on antibiotics (Clindamycin) until Wednesday of next week. I've been experiencing bouts of nausea since Thanksgiving (sometimes relieved with eating, sometimes not), overall stomach discomfort, and now the dull pain has moved its way up to my rib cage.

I'm 41yrs old, in reasonable fitness and health but have been diagnosed with a ruptured appendix and have had a drain/antibiotic therapy to clear up the infection and abscess. The appendix will be taken out in 4 weeks' time. What range of physical activity should I carry out in the interval? Would there be a risk of causing damage by lifting, bending, moderate gym exercise etc ? Thanks..

I would just like to add that, while most of the time, bad breath IS due to dental issues, if you have your dog's teeth cleaned and there is no periodontal disease present and your dog still has bad breath, it's time to look further down the digestive system to make sure there are no stomach problems. Stomach problems can also be responsible for horrendous breath that wafts up when the dog belches.

Hi all. I'm hand raising 2 little kittens, they are 4 weeks old. My little girl got what I thought was an umbilical hernia. I talked to 2 different vets and they both said hernia but I was still worried, it was so big! Anyway, yesterday we noticed that there were 2 yellow lumps on it, like bits of pus, kind of like when a human gets a cyst?. Still I let it go, as I noticed as I was going to work at the time.

I went to the emergency room double over with stomach pain. They did a Cat Scan & Pelvic Sono’s. They said I had two cyst and sent me home. They called four days later and told me they recommend further testing an MRI with Gadolinium dye. The cat scan shows : nodular thickening of adrenal gland also there are bilateral cystic adnexal structures., which are incompletely characterized, measuring 3.2 x 2.7cm on the left side. The pelvic sono’s shows: left ovary measures 3.8 x 3.3 x 3.

On Friday (09/09) the ENT said that blood test had ruled out bacterial and common virual infections mentioning Ebstein-Barr (mono), rhino virus, cat scratch fever, toxoplasmosis, lyme disease by name. On (09/13) we returned to the ENT for a wound check the doctor said that all blood test had come back negative and we were now waiting pathology results from the the lymph node tissue and he also noticed that he had gotten a new lump around the one at the back of his neck.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) Crohn's disease Ulcerative colitis Anorectal abscess Infectious colitis (infection of the colon) Colorectal cancer or tumors Radiation proctitis or colitis (inflammation of the colon or rectum from radiation) Perhaps if the thought was infections colitis, then antibiotics would help. Tenesmus can also be caused by prostatitis - in which case antibiotics would help. However, without a clear diagnosis I cannot be sure what is causing your symptoms.

Sometimes, if the skin incision site has sealed over but the infection has gained access to the deeper subcutaneous fatty tissues, pus and infection will build up underneath the skin producing a painful pus-filled swelling called an abscess. When the abscess bursts, large amounts of pus will drain out of the area. Wound infection is very uncommon in most routine desexing surgeries and most commonly occurs because of poor home care.

About 8 months ago I had a second hernia repair surgery and every since then I have experienced as well complained about severe pain in the lower left side of my stomach, I have been to ER a couple of times because of it and admitted the second time, they did a cat scan on me and saw blood and fluid on the scan and thought it may had been an abscess, they gave me antibiotics and such. My sergeon came in and basically told me it's nothing to worry about and was released the next day.

There are a number of potential causes for pain around the time of eating but the most serious one is a retrobulbar abscess, or an abscess that forms in the space behind the eye. These can cause serious problems fairly quickly, including blindness and in severe cases, death. In most cases, dogs with retrobulbar abscesses are really pained by having their mouths opened -- some dogs refuse to allow this and others just scream when someone attempts to open the mouth beyond a certain point.
