Thank you! They analyzed the urine; doesn’t look as if there are any crystals. She got another shot and food that should be helpful for the urinary tract and kidneys. I will research it more; for tonight both kitty and I are tired. She seems fine overall and just came to snuggle next to me.
She didn’t have a blockage, but a urinalysis showed urobilogen; therefore they did blood work, but her liver is fine. Basically, we still don’t know, it could be stress - only that there were no changes in her environment. She got a bit of pain medicine, and has been behaving normally since she...
She peed fine and pooped a little today. She still has been “going” a lot, but not as often as last night. We’re watching her and take her tomorrow if she still acts weird.
Hi all,
My approximately 8-9 year old cat China has been acting very weird around the litterbox since yesterday evening. She goes a lot - up to a few times/hour when she is not napping - but almost nothing comes out. This morning I finally saw some pee, but I don't think she has pooped in...
Thank you all! I called the vet and they said to give it a few more days. Since she is not in pain and otherwise behaving normally, I will give it two more days. If I don’t see significant improvements, I will go back for more testing.
My 14+ year old started having blood in her urine starting last Thursday. I took her to the vet and she received a shot (convenia) on Friday afternoon.
So far I don’t see any improvement, but she is feeling fine and not straining/showing signs of pain. How long should I wait before I take her...
Thank you Simka and Carolina - great advice. I will look into the ointments, topical medication and probiotics. The swelling seems to go down, and he is able to keep himself somewhat cleaner. He is still dripping, which is caused by the infection. I just hope there won't be any lasting...
Hi all,
I recently adopted another kitty that had been outside on its own for at least 6 weeks, probably a lot more. He is about 3 years old, not neutered, underweight, and had a lot of intestinal parasites. He also has an infection on his butt and reproductive area. All of which is being...
I recently helped a friend move, and drove her car with the cat for about 7 hours. She tried to give him something to calm him down (ask your vet about it), but we hardly got him to take any before we left. We didn't want to frighten him any more, and agreed to just try and see how he does...
I have posted before about my process of introducing a new cat. Kaylie, the resident cat, still doesn't like the "intruder", but so far she has only growled and hissed at her. She hasn't attacked her, and they both seem to avoid each other as best as they can. However, she seems to have...
No, Kaylie doesn't have her own key, and we even open the door for her.
If I had had her from the beginning, I would have been the one to make the rules about inside and outside. But I wasn't, and I do accept my bf's choices about the cat he rescued a year before I came here. Btw, he also had...
Our one cat Kaylie is going outside. Not my choice, but she was doing it already before I moved in. She stays close to the house, and is inside at night.
Our new cat Pomme used to live outside (in the woods and shed behind the house) until I brought her in last week. Right now I don't let her...
I usually sprinkle it on the floor or a blanket. Sometimes it seems the scent gets intensified if I rub it a little between my fingers or on the floor first.
Hi and welcome I'm new too, and this is a great place.
How wonderful of you to rescue that kitty. It sure was the luckiest day of his life
Btw - I like the name Puff-
