    Another Flea Question

    I resuced and fostered a kitten that got stuck in a cactus. The kitten is doing very well and in her forever home, but I am left with the fleas. So far I've applied Promeris flea control on my resident cats and have not seen fleas or flea dirt on them *knocks on wood* I went out and bought...

    Kitten Vs. Cactus

    Took kitten to the vet yesterday, everything looks great. I've gotten almost all the stickers out of her, she seems much more comfortable. I asked if the flea treatment I bought was okay to use and they said it was perfectly fine, even when I brought up the oil question. I'm guessing that...

    Kitten Vs. Cactus

    People shouldn't get thanked for simply doing the right thing. : ) Plus I love doing it! HS was just about to close as I rushed in, the vet had already left. They looked her over and didn't think she was in immediate danger, but I'm still getting her checked out. If anything they can help me...

    Kitten Vs. Cactus

    That is a scary tid bit of information. Wouldn't she be struggling to get away from me then if she was in that much pain? She just sat there while I did my best to get them out of her. She seems more comfortable now and purrs whenever I walk into the room and say 'hello.' I'm going to give her...

    Kitten Vs. Cactus

    I took her to the humane society right after I picked her up. I have her on some antibiotics just in case of infection. She doesn't appear to be in that much pain, she had no complaints other then purring and licking me against the removing of the stickers. I should clearify too...they're not...

    Kitten Vs. Cactus

    My friend called today saying he found a kitten trapped in a GIANT cactus bush. I picked the kitty up and the poor thing is literally covered with cactus spines...and fleas. I've bathed her which made the spines easier to take out and I managed to get out most of the ones covering her back with...

    Good Vibes Please

    I don't think they sent any off the be analyzed, but they did draw some blood for blood work. I'm trying to to get her too excited because she keep wagging her tail and I'm worried she'll rip her stitches! I was told just to dab at the small incision where the tubes were but in with water and...

    Yowling for no apparent reason.

    Sometimes cats just do that, and I know how annoying it can be. I have insomnia and my mountain lion of a cat walks up and down the hallway 'talking' to himself. He's a strange cat. Other times he starts screaming for his kitten brother to come start mischief with him. it might be considered...

    Well Molly had her surgery today. She had a lot of dead tissue that needed to be removed. The vet said he was not 100% sure it was from her anal gland, but it did not look good. He believes he got it all out and put in two drainage tubes that need to be removed Tuesday and stitches removed in 12...

    Okay, not any one of those. I just saw her grooming herself and she has two sore looking things next to her bottom. One is small, the other is biiig. It almost looks bruised underneath. She wont stop licking herself and she's hissing at me, I'm really really worried right now.

    You know, my 12 week old kitten Neko pretends to be all innocent and...well not the brightest crayon in the box...but really it's all a ploy to get food. He pretends my hallway is a Formula One race track and darts between my legs when I'm walking so of course I run into him...so I feel bad and...
