My cat came home yesterday with a swollen bottom lip/mouth, possibly a sting as he likes to chase wasps and bees. He has had a swollen mouth before (years ago) and the vet gave him antihistamines and pain killers which didn’t really help, they wanted to run loads of tests but I couldn’t afford the £300+ quoted, I changed his food to wet food for a month and the swelling went.
I’m unsure if he needs to go to the vets and I’m unable to get him into a cat box by myself (single mum, no one to help), do I leave it until Monday and see if the swelling goes down? Do I try him on wet food?
He’s fine in himself, eating fine, hunting fine and happily having cuddles.
If it is a sting how long would it take to heel?
