Trout Pout Cat

[Messalina]

This is weird. Smoke comes in t'other night with a pout like Mick Jagger. It didn't seem to be bothering him at all but when it hadn't gone down I made him an appointment at the vet. Anyway, it was time for his flea treatment. Trout pout had disappeared by the time I got him to the vet. Apparently a flea allergy can cause the bottom lip to swell and the treatment clears it up. Never seen anything like this before. Anyone else ever come across it?

Might have got stung or bitten by something.

Yes i think a sting is more likely, have certainly seen a paw swell after a bee sting.

A similar thing happened to my German Shepherd. Out of the blue her lips and eyes swelled and her breath was very hot. I rang the vet and was told to give her an antihistamine tablet, but it had to be chlorpheniramine rather than the new generation antihistamines. Luckily, I had some in the house.
I gave her a tablet she fell asleep and the swelling went down. That might have been an insect bite. I will never know.

The problem with cats (one of the many problems) is that you are never really sure where the little 'angel' has been and been up to.

I hope it doesn't happen again - all the other cats will laugh at him and pass rumours of him having had cosmetic surgery.

I am sure that my little boy (pictured) has moobs/mcoobs/coobs

One of mine is off to the vet tomorrow (she doesn't. Know it of course!) - she has a terrible reaction to harvest mites and has to get a steroid injection every summer to stop her itching

My male cat definitely has toobs

[Messalina]

No moobs, thankfully, but a bit of a belly. Don't think it was a sting as it wasn't painful. He really did look like he'd had lip fillers.

[Tilly2]

It was an allergy to something or other.
