I noticed that there was a black waxy patch on my furbaby’s tail and no matter how much I try to wash it off, it won’t go away. What alarmed me the most was the hair loss on the base of his tail. I found out that it was called a stud tail. Since I couldn’t get the “sebum” off, I had to shave the...

Thank you! I guess i'm not buying the inflatable one.

You're right, my cat freaked out when I put the shoes on him. He absolutely hated it.

I will probably try the inflatable one. Some say that paper plates work well too but it looks a bit constricting. My cat is a bit on the big side so he had to wear the bigger ones to fit her neck, but the cone itself was way too big for my cat's doll face. I'm going to see if I can trim the...

I will discuss it with my vet when I come by the clinic. Thank you so much! I did know that human abscesses had to be drained to relieve pressure but I wasn't sure with cats. 128522

I'm going out of town for 4 days and i'm really worried about my cat, Felix. He has been diagnosed with fungal infection in his ear and an abscess on both sides of the face due to his manic scratching. He was asked to wear an e-collar AKA the cone of shame to help his wounds heal. The problem is...

Not yet. The vet didn't say anything about popping it though. She just made my cat take meds and asked me to clean the area. But the abscess has gone down now and isn't as big as it was before. Is it necessary to pop the abscess? Should I bring it up with my vet?

My cat was prescribed Miconazole Nitrate 5 drops, 2-3x/day. He's also using Mycocide antifungal/antibacteral shampoo. I was instructed to bathe him 3x/week, leaving the lather on for 10 mins before washing it off, then drying him immediately using cold air. Also, since my cat developed an...

I have a Miconazole Nitrate lotion for his ears and the ring worms and abscess. Also, the doctor prescribed Doxycycline 2.25 mL once a day. It's a syrup kind of med and it's absolute HELL to get him to drink it. I have to wrap him in a towel to keep him from moving but getting him to open his...

Thank god! I was really worried that the infection might become systemic cos his abscess was the size of a ping pong ball and looked quite painful. I keep his e-collar on throughout the day, although I do take it off thrice: in the morning, noon, and evening. He has a hard time eating and...

Hi! I think your cat has ringworms. My furbaby got diagnosed with fungal infection and has a ringworm on one side of the cheek. My vet prescribed antifungal medication, doxixycline, and an e-collar to help him tame his manic scratching habit. Perhaps you can get him one of those inflatable...

It would be best to get some lab works done for a more accurate diagnosis. It's a bit pricey though.

I just got back from the vet today and it turns out my cat didn't have ear mites like I suspected. Turns out he had a bad case of fungal infection in his ears. He also has an abscess on both sides of the face so we were given doxicyxline and some fungal lotion called Micoderm. I bought him an...

I rinsed him with diluted white vinegar last night and by some miracle, he stopped scratching... but not for long. This morning, he resumed his manic scratching obsession. It was so stressful. I managed to get hold of Ivermectin but the injectible type. I can inject on people, no problem. But...

Thank you very much for your responses! We don't have ACV though. Would white vinegar be okay? And I will try to look for Ivermectin here, if not I will just try to bathe him and try not to make his flea issue worse.

Bump :(

I'm currently at a medical mission in one of the provinces here in the Philippines and I found the sweetest stray cat which I want to adopt. Poor littly kitty has the worst case of ear mites, with lots of wax and debris build up and balding of half the head and the ears. Plus he has fleas (I...

He is persian. Black and white, tuxedo fur. These stains are in his tummy and paws. I think these are stains because the lower ends of the fur are white. I will try attaching a photo once i'm on my laptop.

My 14 months old cat, Felix, has had yellow brown stains on his fur since I've adopted him. Even after being bathed, he looks dirty because of it. Can anyone recommend a natural way to remove the stains or a home alternative to expensive shampoos?

He's persian, by the way.
