Thanks also [@]CatPack. I think I'll need to put Audrey on medication regardless, as you said. I think the other person was right about kitten phobia. I think Esmerelda being a short haired, white kitten reminds Audrey of her intense dislike of the Tonkinese kittens she was forced to share her...
Thanks for your reply. I've had the kitten who is now desexed and microchipped (last week) since she literally showed up on my doorstep back in March. I couldn't find a good home for her then but am trying again now. I've got a few days before I go back to work so am thinking of putting them...
Please help! My 3.5 year old cat Audrey is a total hand full. She already had ongoing behavioural issues, for example, weeing on things like my quilt, but a stray kitten literally appeared at my door step 12am on a Sunday a few months ago, which has esculated the problem so much. Now rather...
I also feel your pain, as my persian girl hates being groomed! The best thing I have found is to groom regularly, as this helps the cat become familiar with sensations and I agree that a really good shaver will make the whole experience a million times easier for your persian and yourself!
I'm...
Hi :-)
When I got my persian kitten her eyes were often watery and had that yellowy colour coming from her eyes. This is normal to a degree for persians, but sometimes they need special cream or eye drops to address infections. I got some antibiotic eye cream for her from my vet and her eyes...
I think the lump may have been partly been the angle I held her on, where the flesh pulled to one side! So glad to advise that Abigail's incision now looks to be healing nicely and the rash has completely gone. Thus a happy outcome for this story :) thanks for your well wishes.
Thanks everyone for helping me get through that and giving me the advice I needed to hear! A couple of days after wearing the collar the rash has virtually disappeared and her wound seems dry and healing nicely. Now the only thing is that she seems to have a lump on the lower left side of the...
Ok. I found an e-collar that's not so big and was much less distressing for her to wear, but she still managed to escape out of it twice. She's asleep now but will put it back on when she wakes. I'm worried she won't get through this or will be left in permanent pain if her stomach area doesn't...
The surgery was done 5 days ago. I thought she would like to lay on my persian rug, which had been rolled up for a few months. So although I vaccumed it thoroughly, I noticed that she seemed really physically irritated soon after laying on it and soon after that the red rash appeared! I've since...
Thanks. That's what the vet said! Ok, I'll put the collar back on her. She also has a rash adjacent to the site, but not on it. Do you know of any home remedies for that? Thanks for your help :) ill try to get a pic later today.
Can anyone please help. The vet told me that my cat has an infection following spay surgery. She also has a red rash near the incision. She's on antibiotics. I'm really worried as she keeps licking herself incl the incision area. I'm keeping a highly vigilant eye on her and try to stop her...
I just read through this thread from beginning to end! What a wonderful end to the story! Hope Phoenix is still doing well. I know just how you felt re all the pooping and stress! Hope my cat comes good too!
Thank you :) She will always use the litter tray now so long as there's always a perfectly unused tray! Still using dirt from outside tho or she won't use it! I'm sick of digging dirt every morning and night!!
Early days but I think so, thanks :) They just started gentle play together today, but Audrey is a bit put out and peed off still! It's so hot where I live in Australia atm, our second almost 2 wk heatwave.....I hope my cats survive it! I only have portable aircon :(!
