Poor Poppy! We took her to the vets last night and this is how she came home!

She has a nasty allergic reaction (to some new tinned food, I think) which has resulted in a swollen head encrusted with scabs - she started to look like the 'elephant cat' yesterday!

The poor baby, she's made it much worse by scratching so she has to wear a lampshade collar for 4 days. She's had it on for a day and is only just getting used to it. She slept on our bed last night but neither of us got much sleep because the poor baby kept moving and trying to find a way to rest comfortably.

The swelling has gone down over night, but it still looks a bit nasty. Thankfully, her gastrointestinal problem hasn't flared up, just her skin, so fingers crossed she can stay on the same food, albeit the dry version and not the tinned.
