Hello!! Managed to see a vet on emergency call. He had fever 104.5 Fahrenheit! He’s not dehydrated so they gave him a bcomplex shot & a meloxicam shot. Only water till the temperature comes down it seems. Will keep posting till he gets better. Thanks

Hello! My 4.5 year old male neutered cat (indian tabby - adopted) has been lethargic since day before. He’s a house cat proper. He’s usually a pretty active fellow. When I checked him I found a gash on his left cheek (check photo attached). His ears have not been warm so I don’t think he has...

And finally his highness allows me to photograph his incision. Here goes   It does seem to be healing but the incision is more moist than what it was 3 days after the surgery. Is there any cause for concern or is this how healing happens? 

Hello all, the bleeding seems to have stopped but I see a lot more sutures at the incision site. I guess the grooming has resulted in the inner sutures getting out somehow. Kitten is fine as usual and prancing around, but wouldn't let me click a good photograph. The area is generally dry with...

Hello there! Am not a pro when it comes to cat care, but am replying as my kitten had a very similar injury to his front left leg and was limping badly and just wouldn't run even though he is an eternal busybody. He had actually got stuck in a store room and was rescued after a day, so we...

Am really grateful for all the replies, thanks a lot.  @vball91   I tried to put on a diaper over the area but he bit and scratched himself out of it. It is really difficult to get him to wear anything or to examine him when he is up and about. The only time he lets me get near him for such...

Thanks again for the reply, but the cone simply doesn't seem to work for him. And I feel that I can't go to work leaving him with the cone on as he can get into any number of problems. Is there any other way out?

@stephanietx  Thanks for your reply. I try to stop him from licking at the sutures but then I have already taken a few days off work but can't do anymore. With regards to the cone, I did get one and put it on for him when he was just waking up. But I just couldn't bear the sight of him. He was...

I forgot to add that he was prescribed an antibiotic by the vet (amoxycillin) which I feed him thrice a day with a syringe.

I have a kitten about 9 months old who stays indoors and whom I was able to take outside till about 2-3 months back. It just wound up at my door step when it was about 2 months old and I have been taking care of it ever since. It wouldn't let me near for the first week to ten days but then...
