Furst of all when Macey comes to our house I HIDE ...I don't particularly like visitors anymore than I do the fat pugs. Plus I would never have bit, scratched, licked or even let her pet me. Yep folks did you know with CS FEVER a kitten only has to lick you for you to catch it. Did you notice I said KITTEN cos they are the majority of the carriers. Remember I am just a tad bit over 18 years of age but a kitten at heart. Macey's cat Theo is also a grown boy so that leaves him out. It could have been these baby kitten she saw a few months back but I am not pointing any paws at them....just wondering
The disease is caused from a tick or flea and it is a bacteria caused virus. Usually the person bit has symptoms like the flu etc. but then some have weirdo symptoms...so maybe Macey is one of them weirdo kids OR they may be meowing up the wrong scratching post and it has nothing to do wif anything.
So just so you know one more time I did not touch the girl!!! (Still waiting on the ultrasound results)
Mean ole Cat Dietzy
later update--Macey does not still have this bacteria, her bloodwork last week showed sometime in the last 6 months she had it but it is gone now, so there is no treatment needed. What we will find out at the next dr. visit though is if it could be related to her swelled up foot and leg.
Mean ol 'Dietzy , we never suspected you!

Dietzman, I was sure that you weren't the reason for the infection. I heard the first time about this disease on your blog and I asked the google-weisenheimer to learn more. It's a mysterious infection, they wrote at wikipawdia that even people who had no contact to a kitty can get infected...that's scary... I hope for good news when you get the ultrasound results. -Easy Rider-

Dietzman, we are on your side. We know it wasn't you. I honestly didn't know CS Fever was a REAL thing. I hope you get some solid answers soon! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteDietzy I think you have River face. Prayers for Macey
ReplyDeleteWe knew someone who got Cat Scratch Fever, and it didn't come from a relative of Mean ole Cat Dietzy. Hope that sweet girl feels better and everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteDietzy we believe you because most kitties who are of a certain adult age avoid children at all costs. Now we just hope they figure out what has caused the lymphedema and what can be done about it! We will keep praying and purring hard for little Miss Macey!
