I'm not too sure either. The wound appears to be scabbing over and peeling off a little. It's limited to just that spot. I haven't observed any new ones. The thickened red outer ring is from dry blood and not swelling. The vet said it's ok to give the wash and the meds and it looks like it's...
Both the cardiologist and the vet said this looks like an allergic reaction. The vet can't say from what unless it's cultured and the cardiologist felt it's a lot like a reaction to the Furosemide injection. If it's from the injection, the lesion will scab over and fall off, they tend to be self...
Sorry, let me correct, it's not in the scruff, it's actually around the end of his neck, above the shoulder bones/blades.
My vet doesn't have an email system but I'm going to bring the pictures in to show him later this afternoon when he's available.
My cat gets daily sub-q injection of Furosemide for his heart now(been almost a week) and I just noticed last night that he has a small wound around his neck. I know that he had a teeny wound before around the neck as well from my other cat harassing him which scabbed over and fell off days ago...
My cat was put on Clindamycin for possible lung infection and since then it's been a week of bad diarrhea. It's not completely watery, but more of a yogurt like consistency(not to gross anyone out) and he's also gassy when he goes. We started him on Fortiflora about 5 days ago and it helped very...
I called up the vet, described to him what happened and asked if I should bring my cat in. He said he honestly don't know why my cat did the swallowing, and probably wouldn't know even with examination(and as long as his breathing is not affected). The vet advised to just closely monitor him and...
Thanks! He was diagnosed with asthma when he had the heart failure, but his respiratory rate is so far normal. I really hope it's just a hairball. I'll be giving the vet a call in the morning.
I just saw my tabby repeatedly swallowed hard with his neck extended then stopped, and made a motion as if he was going to throw up but didn't, and went back to swallowing hard for another couple of times. For a few times, he would lick his lips before swallowing. However, his swallowing didn't...
Thanks/ He is very tricky right now as he has HCM, URI and asthma all at the same time. He has done pretty well with lasix yesterday but his breathing still quickened when he was taken out of oxygen tank this morning. The vet discussed with the cardiologist and they decided to do another x-ray...
Thanks for the responses and vibes, they were really helpful. I did rushed my cat back to the hospital and this vet disagreed about the heart and recommend an echo-cardiogram asap. He scheduled us for the next morning but I feel like it couldn't wait and took him to the ER right away. We were...
Sorry, it's a bit long, please bear with me.
One of my cats has cold that comes back from time to time whenever there's a weather change or stress, he gets snotty, nasal congestion and sometime eye discharge. My vet said that he probably picked up feline herpes virus from shelter where he was...
