It's snowing here right now. I live in the snow belt and we're getting lake effect snow tonight. :-( It's supposed to be 60 degrees on Halloween though. Go figure!
Good luck to you and your kitty. You're lucky you have a nice vet that is working with you.
My cat had a subtotal coletcomy due to megacolon a few years ago and everyone thought I was crazy for having it done- including my husband. But she's still with me today and I wouldn't change it for...
My cat Anya is a sweet and affectionate. She chases me if I whistle a song and rubs against my little girl. She's just a big, fat ball of cute.
Isis is tiny and sweet. I love that she is so loyal.
Beatrix is a demon. I love her playfulness.
Black Boy and Black Girl are my strays. I love...
Please get your cat to the vet ASAP.
My cat was recently pts because she had an abscess that got into her blood stream. I didn't have any of the warning signs you have had with the biting/scratching when you touched the area- hers was in an odd spot.
Please let us know how it goes.
Good luck.
my cat just had a tooth removed yesterday. She is doing well, but still groggy from the anethesia they used on her. Vet didn't send any antibiotics or pain meds. home with her. It was rather odd. He didn't even talk much when I picked her up. Just said to keep her in crate another 24 hours-...
Thanks for all the responses. I've forwarded this all on to my sister and she found that one of the vets she contacted was listed on one of the linked sites.
I think she's going to get another cage ASAP, and then try to determine what to do.
My sister has 2 rabbits and she'd like to get them fixed. They are currently in the same cage (male and female) and she thinks they're too young to actually reproduce. I know nothing about rabbits- not sure she does either- but she has called around local vets to get them fixed.
The cheapest...
I called my previous vet and explained the situation. They informed me that they'd have to do their own testing and the price would start at $200.00 just for the consulation. I think that's a little high, considering I can provide them with the consultation from the other vet. They won't do...
My friend has 4 indoor only cats that she loves. The problem is that they have peed on the carpets throughout her house. Her husband is very upset and has spent over $6000 replacing carpets throughout the house hoping this would eliminate the problem- but it hasn't.
Her cats are now only...
I lost a cat recently as well. I have 3 other indoor cats and all of them were sad. I think they understand how sad we are as well and they go through our process together. :-( I have been giving them extra attention and I do talk to them (not sure they fully understand), but I let them know...
I have a siamese that throws up often. She is around 7 years old. She is also having some issues with her teeth and is going to have one pulled soon.
I asked my vet about her throwing up and he didn't seem to think much of it. I've been monitoring it very closely the past few weeks though...
My Siamese will be getting a tooth pulled next week. I'm real nervous and not sure of this procedure. This came about after one of my cats was pts. I got my others into the vet for a checkup and we found a lump on my siamese and the vet also noted she needs a tooth pulled. I went back 2...
I'm so sorry about Stripe. To hear the news about Coco must bring up all those feelings all over again. It's hard to lose our little kitties. I hope you're doing okay.
Thank you! I think we should take her dog to a different vet for a second opinion. Tonight Sophie was staying in her crate and not coming out. Usually she follows people into the bathroom and is very friendly.
Thanks again.
My aunt's dog was acting very odd yesterday. She was vomiting and shaking. My aunt doesn't drive, so I took her and Sophie(her dog) to the vet.
While there the vet discovered a "hot spot." We aren't familiar with this vet. He's the only one that could get us in on short notice without us...
Can anyone provide me with information on cellulitis, for example, what possible causes are?
I have been doing some research and basically it says it's caused by a bite and puss that forms under the skin. Are bites the only causes?
Thanks.
