My female cat was peeing blood. I took in a urine sample and she had a bacterial infection. Vet put her on antibiotics and it cleared up only to come back several months later. My vet took an X-ray of her bladder and found bladder stones. They irritate the bladder lining and make it bleed...
Someone slime ball dropped a kitten (7-8 wks old) off at the end of my driveway. (I live on a farm in a rural area) I found him Tuesday morning, emaciated, snotty nose and eyes, diarrhea poop stuff on his tail, legs and butt with a smell that would gag a maggot. Of course, I scooped him up...
I noticed a swelling under my 12 week old kitten's belly and took him to the vet. He has an inguinal hernia and one of his testicles is dropping through the tear. The vet is doing surgery on Thursday to neuter him and repair the tear. I'm really nervous about it as he only weighs 3 pounds...
I took Charlie back to the vet today and his kidney values have improved. His appetite is slowly picking up and he is starting to take walks around the farm again. Looks like he isn't ready to cross the bridge yet.
Today he has eaten a small portion of chopped squirrel, a bit of raw chicken livers and a good bit of raw ground sirloin. I had to hand feed some of it but he also ate on his own out of the bowl. He is definitely doing better. He got another round of Sub-Q fluids and sat quietly for that. I...
We had dinner at a local tavern tonight so I brought home the leftovers. I minced up the fish from our fish and chips (minus the breading) and some of the lamb from my greek salad with lamb kabobs. I made 2 piles and he ate a little of both. He seemed to like the fish better though. I'm...
When he was first diagnosed with the kidney issues, his numbers were as follows:
BUN: 70
CRE: 8.4
PHOS: 7.1
After a day of fluids. Here are his numbers:
BUN: 54
CRE: 6.2
Other tests were run but the numbers were within the normal ranges.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm headed to PetSmart to check out their cat food varieties. Someone also mentioned chicken livers as good to try, so I'll be stopping at the grocery store on the way back for livers and more baby food. I may try to find an open vet's office and pick up some of...
I have a 16 year old farm cat that had injuried his hind leg. I took him to the vet and it was determined that he had a large hematoma and that he just needed rest and time to get well plus a few days of metacam (anti-inflamatory). This occured about 3 weeks ago. Things were going well and...
