My cat was diagnosed with miliary dermatitis 2 years ago
her symptoms include
skin lesions
scab formations all over her body
loss of hair
diarrhea
the vet has been giving her prednisone for over a year
she is not getting any better and I have thousands of $$ invested in her care.
do you...
I could never, ever put my darling to sleep. That is MURDER.. I am so horrified that my family even suggested it.
But I have NO experience with ringworm either. I'm going to keep bathing her like the vet told me to. Luckily my baby takes baths very well.
My cat has a severe infection of ringworm. My family is trying to tell me I should put her down. I am horrified at the thought.
She has to be bathed every 2 days with medicated shampoo. She looks so miserable, her ears and face and neck are bloody, and it's in her feet and tail as well.
what...
No, no crate that large unfortunately.
We don't really have any spare rooms either (2bed/1bath house)
I was thinking of cleaning out my closet and put bedding and stuff in there for her. My closet isn't quite a walk-in closet but it's 6 feet wide.
My 15 year old cat Buttons is deaf. My grandpa accidentally ran over her leg with his truck on Friday. I was at work when it happened, but according to my grandma the vet said her leg was fractured, not actually broken.
So, she's coming home Monday morning.
I've never had to deal with a pet...
There is a family of feral cats in my neighborhood. Everyone feeds them. Some of them are fixed, some of them are not.
We are having a particularly difficult time catching a mother and her 3 kittens. We desperately want to catch the mother to get her fixed, but also one of the kittens seems...
well. the vet says that she has "Miliary Dermatitis"
he says it is common and there are numerous possibilities.
however, she was also running a high fever. she had a temperature of 104.
I told him how the past few days she has been sitting on the air condition vent. It didn't occur to me she...
My precious Meatloaf has developed some horrible itchy scabs and lesions on her face, head, throat, neck and ears.
She scratches them relentlessly until she bleeds. I noticed it about a week ago but had to wait til pay day in order to make her an appointment.
I have a vet appointment tomorrow...
well I know my idiot neighbor's cat is a tomcat and not fixed. But Thomas has already attacked him 3 or 4 times and so he doesn't come around anymore.
One of our cats Thomas ran off when she was a kitten, a week after we got her spayed. We still see her around, but she is so skittish now we...
my mom has 3 cats, all are 10 years old. She has had them since 2001. I have 3 cats, one is 14 and the other 2 I rescued, they are 2 years old.
Lil Darlin is the mom, Thomas and Blackberry are the kittens. These are my mom's cats.
Thomas has become extremely aggressive towards Blackberry, and...
Is it possible my cat Buttons is a Turkish van cat?
14 years ago, a stray cat had kittens in our garage. We kept one, who was solid white with a brown tail and black spots on her head.
I loved her colors, but just recently thought, is it possible maybe my cat is part turkish van?
What makes a...
Hi, sorry not sure exactly which forum this should go under.
I have had cats all my life, as well as birds/parrots.
I currently have a 14 year old cat and two 2 year old cats (one of which I adopted from a petshop {don't judge, it was stupid but I wouldn't trade her for the world}, one of...
Has anyone experienced this problem?
We have our oldest living cat, Buttons. She will be 15 years old in April.
I just now picked her up in the kitchen where the light is really bright, and her pupils did NOT retract.
I noticed that she never ever looks directly up at someone, even though she...
Yep, it took a long time to get her to eat the food I put the medicine in, but she did eventually!!
The other medicine the vet gave me is liquid, so I wrap her in a towel and quickly put the med in with the eye dropper.
She takes the medicine very well, probably because it tastes pretty good...
Back from the vet. Yea it was gross, the vet told me "What a nice sample, couldn't have done it better myself!"
Haha.
He says they are tapeworms. He gave me some medicine (which I've been trying to get her to eat for 30 minutes) and said she should feel better soon!
*runs in frantic circles squealing and panicking*
OK, this is the very first time my cat Meatloaf has had worms.
Today she just out of nowhere has had explosive diarrhea, and just now she left me a nice pile underneath my computer chair. I went to clean it up..and..
DOZENS OF WORMS...
