I wish Ginger would let me do things to her, like use that shampoo, but she won't stand for it! She's a big girl, 15 lbs, and she hates anything other than a short brushing. Giving her medicine is next to impossible so I always have to go the shot route. I am glad you agree about keeping her...

She just meows and meows at night and I feel like we are torturing her. I of course want to do what's best for her.

Thank you for all the tips/advice! Ginger still wasnt healing so I took her to the vet Weds. Turns out its a secondary skin infection, likely from the rabbit incident. They gave her slow release shots of antibiotics and steroids. It does seem like it's getting better, little tufts of hair are...

We "live" on family property...

We will on family property and my husband's grandmother gets it tested. The only thing I worry about is all the farm land we live around and pesticides...

But am I wasting my time? Will it help? She absolutely hates when I do it, so I can save us both pain if it's not necessary. Should I just leave it alone completely?

Wow! Those rodent ulcers look terrifying! Her issues do not go into her mouth at all, they are all on her little chin. It's really just a patch of fur missing, with some small bumps, and then she will scratch it a little and make it bleed, but just a tiny bit. I will see if I can get a picture...

I am feeding her from metal and ceramic food and water dishes that get washed daily. We feed her water from the faucet and we live in the country so we have fresh well water. Now, my indoor kitties drink from a pet fountain, are those not good? It's so much to keep up with everything when you...

Hi everyone, So my outdoor cat Ginger has really been through it lately. Before anyone tells me I should keep her inside, she has lived outside her whole and life and basically adopted us. She was my husband's grandma's cat and one day just came over and never left. We do bring her inside when...

I just woke up this morning and she is finally eating and even had a bowel movement! One happy mama here :) thank you for your reply furballsmom :) nothing is more stressful than when my cats are sick!

Hi guys, So we have an outdoor kitty Ginger (she adopted us). All of my other cats live strictly indoors but Ginger has always lived outside. We do bring her in to the office when it's too cold or hot or bad weather is occurring. She doesn't like to be inside to long. We do bring her to get...

My cat Jasmile (4 years old) developed really stinky breath and I made her a vet appt. She ended up having to have 7 teeth pulled! The vet said some cats, just like people, are born with bad teeth/enamel. After the extractions, she is super happy and her breath smells amazing! Hoping it isn't...

My cat started to vomit and wouldn't eat and just overall wasn't her normal self. I took her to the vet and they thought it was a hairball that she wasn't able to get up, so they gave me medicine. Throughout the day, she got worse so I ended up rushing her to the emergency vet. Turns out she had...

Thank you for the responses! You guys are great. I sent this picture to my vet and he said it looks great to him and there is nothing to be concerned with :) So for now I will just keep an eye on it. They said if she is licking it excessively to swing by and they would give me a cone. I haven't...
