Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Cats who are bitten by other cats often get abscesses at the site of the bite. This is a localized infection that is very painful to the cat, and it makes them feel pretty badly. It will swell a lot, and this can account for Cutie's symptoms. A vet has to treat this, please take her into one now.
