I would leave them alone until she goes back to the vet office. If she does start chewing at them, she might need an e-collar. They are called "tags" and are used to pull up the knot during the suture removal. If they are unusually long, you can call the vet and ask them about it.

We usually recommend waiting until all the vaccines are given, and then do the Rabies vacc at the time of the spay, so around 18-20 weeks. However, if the owner isn't comfortable with waiting that long, we will do it a little sooner. We also do many pediatric spays/neuters for a local rescue...

Pretty much any cat from shelters, multi-cat households, etc. will have a positive titer, which simply shows that they have been exposed to the corona virus. The only time that it becomes a problem is if the virus mutates, then it becomes FIP. There is no way to tell in advance if that is...

They need around 1oz of water per pound of body weight per day.

That would be great!! Another thing that I forgot to mention is that I would also be more than willing do nursing care too (help with meds, injections, SQ fluids, etc.) If that helps at all. Thanks so much everyone!!

Sweet!! LOL!

Wow, you guys are on a roll!!!!! Thanks so much! I currently work full time as an RVT, and I have an 18 month old daughter and a 6 yo son. I want to be able to cut back to part time eventually, yet still have some supplimental income. There aren't any pet sitters advertised in my town...

Thank you all sofar!! I am making a list of all the ideas, and then will be doing some searching to make sure that the name isn't taken already. I'll keep checking back! Thanks again!!

Ok, I am getting prepared to start a cat sitting business. However, I don't really have much of a creative mind. So, knowing what wonderful, smart, creative people there are here, I need some help on a name! I am looking for something cute and catchy, but also professional. For anyone who...

Normally the annual examination is due at the time of the vaccinations, so I would also call the vet to make sure that Blue isn't due for an exam (which are always important.)

We charge $100.00 for the anesthesia and the cleaning. It also includes intubation, IV cath, fluids, hand scaling, ultrasonic scaling, polishing, rinsing, and oravet. Extractions and other procedures are extra.

I agree with the other responses. With any eye problems you never want to let them go because further damage to the eye could occur.

Definitely give her lots of TLC. If she will eat wet food, it may be easier on her to eat that (her whole mouth is probably sore). Also, make sure you give her pain medication from the vet (I'm assuming they sent pain meds), and do it as directed, not only if she seems painful. It will take...

Post-anesthetic blindness would most likely be caused by brain hypoxia (not enough oxygen in blood or poor perfusion to brain). If this is the cause of the blindness it could be temporary or permanent depending on how long the brain was deprived of oxygen. I am sorry to hear that this...

The ideal way to find out if he is overweight is to have your vet or a tech evaluate his body condition. There is a scale that we use that ranges from 1 (very thin) through 5 (obese) with 3 being the idea body weight. Basically, feel his ribs, there should only be a slight fat covering over...

FYI, there is always a chance that there can be ovarian reminants in some cats. It doesn't necessarily mean that they vet who performed the sx didn't know what they were doing. Even if another vet were to go back in, there's no guarantee that they could find it. These pieces can be extremely...

Do you mean PCV?

Which 5 vaccines do they give, if you don't mind me asking??

A titer is a blood test that checks the amount of antibodies being produced by the body against a particular virus. For example, I had my pre-exposure Rabies vaccine series three years ago. I am due to have blood drawn for a Rabies Titer for myself. If the amount of antibodies is below a...

I agree with everyone else. A CBC/Profile would be the first step to evaluate kidney function, then based on what the bloodwork shows the doctor can go from there. It will also check her RBC, WBC's, liver function, glucose, and many other parameters, and would be a good general screen for a 9...
