    Abscess on the paw

    I need to call the vet in the morning but in the meantime- I put yesterday's news in his box (normally use SwheatScoop) so that the litter wouldn't go in his abscess. He has been urinating in it but hasn't popped. In fact neither of them have. It's been 32 hours since I switched the litter. I...

    Abscess on the paw

    His bandage came off today and its still a little bloody. How long does it take for that to heal up usually, so it isnt leaking?

    Abscess on the paw

    She didnt mention soaking it at all on our own, or anything like that. She said she would call tomorrow to check on him so I will mention it when she calls. And no, she didnt give us any type of topical antibiotics for the wound.

    Abscess on the paw

    We noticed our male cat Simba has a swollen paw on Saturday afternoon. I was finally able to get him into the vet this morning since they were closed for the holiday's all weekend. Poor thing has an abscess (which I suspected). The vet was able to drain it for him, soak it for a bit, and then...

    Worried about my cat

    Thanks, it's so hard! He loves the wet food so it's not that I cant get him to eat it, its just that he picks because he is sooo used to it. He ended up eating about 3/4 of a can total yesterday so I guess that's pretty good!

    Worried about my cat

    My cat Simba who is 7, got rushed to the 24 hour emergency clinic around 11:30 on Thursday night. He was in a lot of pain when my husband brought him in and ended up being diagnosed with FLUTD. He has had it before (twice) and both of those times it was because he was peeing on random things in...

    Are they getting enough water?

    This is what we're trying to do, switch to 100% wet. Our girl cat is completely fine with it but our male cat isnt used to eating so much wet at once. He will pick at it and eat it but never more than 1/4 of a can at a time and even that's pushing it.  I did notice the water level is lower on...

    Are they getting enough water?

    We've used dry Wellness Core for a while now. Last week we ended up having to take our male cat into the emergency vet clinic in the middle of the night because he was very lethargic and meowing in pain. Turned out he had a UTI, they were able to get the blockage out and run an IV for him. He...
