    Lump at rabies vaccination site

    Good news just for anyone who may have been following this or wants more info if having a similar problem.  The lump is already gone.  I called the vet again to check and he said just to keep an eye on that spot because it would be a concern if it comes back, but that this is generally just a...

    Lump at rabies vaccination site

    Well, I forgot my vet was closed for the holiday yesterday so I called them this morning. They didn't ask me to bring Maeby in. The vet had me describe the lump and said it sounded like a reaction to the vaccine. She said those usually are nothing to worry about and got away in a few weeks...

    Lump at rabies vaccination site

    Thanks for the positive vibes. When I see the vet monday I'll ask him about why the vaccine was there. Before reading up on this particular case I didn't know it mattered, and upon thinking about I realize he does usually give vaccines in the leg. Just gotta try not to worry too much the rest...

    Lump at rabies vaccination site

    My 4 month old kitten Maeby had her rabbie vaccine exactly 1 week ago. Today we noticed a lump at the injection site. The injection was given right between the shoulder blades, which I have since read is no longer considered the proper place for vaccination. The vet I have I trust completely...

    Changing skittish free-feeder to a scheduled eater.

    So a quick update on the kitties. Sansa is completely on wet food already. Not surprised honestly I think she will just eat whatever we give her in whatever amounts.  Hootie is still being quirky.  He eats about 1/8 a cup of dry food a serving.  I don't want to even try him on wet until I get...

    Changing skittish free-feeder to a scheduled eater.

    Things seem to be going somewhat smoother. Hootie is still just very easily distracted from his food.  However it's been just over a week and he has barely dropped any weight.  He has gone from 12.4 pounds to 12.2...and that could just be the scale.  Unfortunately Sansa has not dropped any...

    Changing skittish free-feeder to a scheduled eater.

    We definitely know Sansa overeats. She's a small framed cat and weights 10 pounds. She looks like an orange and white beach ball.  Hootie is very long limbed and big framed. He weighs about 12 pounds and looks perfectly normal, maybe even a touch skinny.  Part of it is also that Hootie is very...

    Changing skittish free-feeder to a scheduled eater.

    Okay now in day 5 of my attempt to switch my kitties over to scheduled feeding. The eventual goal is to get them on a strict schedule then switch them to a high quality wet food.  Again Sansa is doing great, she is now pretty much eating the exact measure of food we put down for her and today...

    Changing skittish free-feeder to a scheduled eater.

    It would make sense. Sansa was a stray so even though it's been a couple of months she may be a bit insecure about food.  We already feed them in separate rooms though.  I think at the moment I'm going to just let them go back to always having food out maybe until this weekend and then give it...

    Changing skittish free-feeder to a scheduled eater.

    I'm at a frustrating point with my two cats and I'm not sure what to do.  My older cat Hootie is 4 and has been a free eater his whole.  He has never had any weight or health problems.  2 months ago we rescued a stray we named Sansa.  When we rescued her she was 6 pounds.  She now weighs 10...
