........ Hope his paw is not back to normal and he's none the worse for his spring encounter.

Poor Riley - he's starting early in the season, bless him. Hope his paw is not back to normal and he's none the worse for his spring encounter.

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #175 on:** March 26, 2011, 15:12:32 PM »

Oh bless him - he doesn't learn, does he?

Glad the swelling is going down

Poor Riley, glad he is better today

Esco got stung inside his mouth last summer, I found the sting and pulled it out then gave him a piriton. It didn't go down so he had to go to the vet that evening for a steroid shot. His poor face was so swollen (bit like mine last night - but that's a whole other story which only facebook people will know about lol!)

clarenmax · « **Reply #173 on:** March 26, 2011, 13:33:22 PM »

Crikey that is early for a sting!!! I've seen a few bumble bees around here but that's about all so far.

Glad Riley's paw is returning to normal size now

Janeyk · « **Reply #172 on:** March 26, 2011, 11:28:53 AM »

blimey already! glad it's gone down this morning though.

You've not got a nest have you?

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #171 on:** March 26, 2011, 11:15:34 AM »

everyone, it was still massive when I went to bed last night, I think because I didn't get the half Piriton into him quickly enough, and had resigned myself to a vet visit if it hadn't gone down but luckily for Riley it is back to almost normal size now

Looks like I'll need to be stocking up on the Piriton again too

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #170 on:** March 26, 2011, 09:53:20 AM »

Sorry to hear Riley has been in the wars again Helen

Poor little man. Hope the swelling has gone now.

There do seem to be some very large bees about don't there? I'm quite sure Groucho was stung last week as I found him playing with a poor bee and he kept shaking one paw for a few minutes afterwards. The only piriton tabs I found in cupboard were well out of date. I rang vets and was told to bring him in if I noticed a swelling. He has quite chunky paws/legs and I didn't notice any swelling so didn't do anything and he was OK. I will add some piriton tablets to shopping list ..

Sending a

to Riley

Oh Riley, when will you learn!

I hope the swelling is going down now.

I saw bees in the garden today and yesterday ans was surprised cos its very early for them

Hope it feels better soon xx

oh dear , not again

poor Riley

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #164 on:** March 25, 2011, 17:21:46 PM »

The only plants I have that are bee attracting (not sure if wasps are attracted too?) are some lavendar plants but they're not even flowering yet.

I've just managed to get the half piriton down him hidden in some applewood cheese that I had in the freezer so hopefully the swelling won't last as long now. Poor boy

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #163 on:** March 25, 2011, 16:59:15 PM »

He's really rather obsessed with the stingy things isn't he? I've only seen one so far this year! I wonder if there's anything you could put in your garden to deter the, plants or otherwise?

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #162 on:** March 25, 2011, 16:55:26 PM »

It's started early this year, poor Riley has just been stung again

After what happened to Lottie's poor Minxy last year it's really worrying as what I viewed as an annoyance before could actually be fatal

He won't take his 1/2 Piriton either, I tried to hide it in Dairylea, then Defurrum treats then Webbox but because the bare tablet touched his tongue with the failed Dairylea attempt he could obviously tase the bitterness and refused all other efforts

Just a phone pic but you can see how swollen it is just a few minutes after happening...

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #161 on:** September 18, 2009, 15:17:40 PM »

Well about half an hour ago Lu caught what looked like a slim wasp (could have been a 'fake' one though if you know what I mean) - I shrieked at him and he moved his feet releasing it and the 'wasp' flew out of the back door. Twenty minutes later Riley's foot was swelling up so maybe he caught Lu's, very angry, wasp

BM - I don't think there's a nest nearby, I thought I had one over my back door but had a visit from pest control and they were bees - not sure when 'bee season' is but haven't seen any bees round the door for ages

I think he's more addicted to the Webbox treat that's moulded round the Piriton to be honest

Wibblechick · « **Reply #160 on:** September 18, 2009, 15:13:27 PM »

Hmmmm - its probably that wasps get a bit dopey at this time of year ....

That, or he has a secret Piriton addiction

give the poor chap a

from me

Bazsmum · « **Reply #159 on:** September 18, 2009, 15:11:01 PM »

Really!

When Sagey Boy joined "Club Foot" I noticed a wasps nest....couldnt see the nest but they were flying in and out of next doors guttering so OH phoned up and someone came out and sprayed them...by two days they were no more....

The neighbours were on hols at the time and wondered why when they got back there were about 6 wasps in their kitchen!

Janeyk · « **Reply #158 on:** September 18, 2009, 15:09:39 PM »

omg not a fat foot again!! I don't believe it how does he do it

poor Riley!

Blimey I wonder how many times he's been stung now, poor Riley

Pep has little fat feet but he suffers oedema

Millys Mum · « **Reply #155 on:** August 26, 2009, 18:44:51 PM »

Tabitha and spike have both had 'club foot' in the last couple of weeks, they never learn!

The wasps round here are very dozy as well , unfortunately i have a apple tree in my garden and there are lots of them in the apples -so i also want to join the club as i got stung on the hand on Friday and the fingers on Sunday !

Only if you have a fat hand or fingers!

Wasps are evil!

Can I make my Sagey Boy a member of "Club Phut" please? He got his half a piriton last night when I saw him looking really sorry for himself and his HUGE paw!

Give Sage a

from Riley - he knows how it feels to be mocked for the size of your feet

Wouldn't it be easier to tell us the days Riley doesn't get stung.....?

But then Helen would never post!

It's actually been 22 days since he's been stung *touch wood*
