I have two neutered cats, a male and a female. The male is about 10 and the female about 7. I've always been careful about keeping their litter changed and clean so the smell has been minimal. Just in the last week the cat boxes have started to really reek! I bought new boxes and cleaned the...
Lucy is looking a LOT better this morning. I guess the antibiotics kicked in. When she finishes up the medication I plan to take her back to the vet to see if he can determine what was wrong....tooth or sinuses. Thanks to all who helped!
We are administering liquid antibiotics every 12 hours with a hyperdermic (minus needle). We swaddle her in a towel and then squirt the meds down her throat. I think she is a little more active tonight. One of the reasons I took the photo is to see if the abcess was going down or not. We'll...
Thanks for responding. My poor baby is still swollen today. It's been about 24 hours since she started the antibiotics. She does not seem to be in much pain but is more lethargic than usual. (Below are photos that I just finished taking.) We could not find a wound on her and the vet thinks...
Our Lucy cat has asthmatic types of attacks from time to time. She will wheeze and make a hacking noise but it rarely lasts more than a minute and never occurs more than once a day. Our vet says if she does not seem to be in too much distress, and recovers quickly, that medication is not...
Our red and white tuxedo kitty, Lucy, is eight years old. Last night we noticed that she had a right swollen cheeck. This morning we took her right to the vet. Lucy was not very co-operative but the vet saw into her mouth enough to say that she had an abcess that seemed to have broken and was...
I shudder to think about the number of cats that must loose their lives or are seriously engineered because of their love for crawling into small dark spaces. Thanks for posting this thread. You may have saved several feline lives with this reminder.
Thanks for the help. Our cat bowls are glass and they are washed in the dishwasher about every other day. I had heard the thing about plastic and pottery before.
We will try cleaning his owie as reccommended and if we see no improvement will call the vet Monday.
Our big, gray, tabby tomcat has had cat acne off an on around his chin but now he seems to have some sore and broken out places on his lip. Poor guy. The lower left side of his mouth is very swollen and sore. Of course, these things happen on the weekend when the vet is unavailable.
The...
This weekend the news has been full of warnings about the fumes that Teflon products can give off. It was even said that the fumes from Teflon heated pans has been known to kill pet birds in some homes. I heard mention that cats are sensitive to this too and that the fumes, in some cases, can...
Such a sad sad incident. My heart hurts for your family and for Princess. I can understand your reluctance to bring the cat back into your family with a small child at risk. I once had a friend whose cat was spayed and it attacked her in much the same way about a week after returning home...
As someone who usually checks IMO first, I have been under the misconception that the whole board was experiencing technical difficulties and only happened to catch this in the Lounge this evening (9-6). I would like to suggest that in the future, if IMO is down that the moderators post a...
This photo and query appreared on the Coast to Coast A.M. site today.
Have you heard of a cat with thumbs?
I'm not a breeder but wanted to ask if any of you have seen cats with opposing toes that appear to be thumb-like?
Thanks.
Both of mine are afraid of the vacuum cleaner but they love my electric razor and try to get between it and my legs. Go figure! I've heard of cats who don't mind having the vacuum cleaner run over their fur to groom them. Is anyone lucky enough to have a cat like that?
With all the fabulous singers around my question is why was Beyonce given center stage to sing THREE songs for the Award show. Yes, she's beautiful and sings well but why not showcase two other people as well?
BTW.....the liked the dresses this year, although they did remind me of fashions my...
