Today the runny eye had returned. This time I don't see any hair in there. I have an appointment for her on Monday. Can I put saline solution in there until then? Will that make it less irritated?
I have her a bath and it went wonderfully. I blow dried her low heat, low blow. She's flopped on her back so I would blow dry her tummy. I got all of the matted spots out and put some ointment on the raw spots. Which there were much less spots than I thought there would be and she's almost...
The first night I had her I kept the bathroom (where she sleeps) very warm. Meaning I spent the night at a stifling 78 degrees. So I'm no stranger to sacrificing my comfort. Haha. I have central heat so it would be easy to heat up the bathroom very quickly. I think I'll try giving her a warm...
All the fur inthe affected area is clumped so tightly to the skin I wouldn't be able to safely trim it. The vet would be able to remove it but I feel that it would be unnecessary pain if I could just bathe her to get it off of her. I don't know what I should do because some people are saying to...
I think I've figured out the eye problem. I was wiping some of the goop out of the her face and saw that she had one of her hairs stuck in there. I could get it without have to touch her eye. And as soon as I got it out she was opening her eye again and blinking. A lot of clear "tears" came out...
Most of her hair in the area is already gone or only attached by the matted clump stuck to her skin. The baby wipes that I tried (their the natural, unscented wipes) aren't working well since her fur is long and very tangled and matted. I've been applying triple antibiotic ointment and that's...
Th reason I wanted to bath her is because she's got feces and dirt caked in her very long fur around her tail an bottom. And she's got raw spots all around the same area. The matted places keep causing the fur to pull out which causes more raw spots. And will all that filth around the raw spots...
She's definitely getting stronger. The past two times she's gotten her albon dose she's say there obligingly and swallowed it down. Today, she went nuts when I gave it to her. And when I was done she flew through the house like I had lit her tail on fire.
Today is day three of her being with me. She's not shy or skittish. And she doesn't like being left alone. She follows me everywhere. She's eating great. She eats all throughout the day because I have her bowl of food down for her anytime she wants to eat its available.
She doesn't have any...
Hi everyone,
My Mom found a kitten wandering in her neighborhood. She was malnourished and had severe diarrhea and seeing as she has two not so cat friendly schnauzers. So, I took her into my home to get healthy and fatten her up. What I've done so far: the first night I had her I wiped her...
An update on Arty: she didn't have anymore kittens so I took her to the vet and they checked her out and confirmed that she wasn't pregnant anymore and set a day to get her spayed.
Since giving birth to the stillborn she has been very clingy to one of the other rescue kittens who is about 10...
She did stretch out all the way when I pet her stomach and I gently rubbed it. The was two "lumps" on her stomach last night that became very visible during contractions. Now, however, only one of them is there. She won't hold still long enough for me to feel if it is moving or not.
I called the vet and they said she may only have one kitten and to give her some time and if she seems distressed to bring her in or has contractions for more than an hour to come in.
I've just never heard if a cat having one kitten. She wasn't exceptionally big but surely there wasn't just one...
The first kitten born was pretty big and had fur but its head seemed a tad small for a kitten. Perhaps it was just the type if kitten or I'm remembering the last litter of newborns I've seen incorrectly. I didn't see her start the birthing if the first kitten. I came into check and the head was...
She still hasn't had anymore kittens. She's eating and drinking and still laying around a lot but she's purring and happy and comes to me when I walk in the room. So she doesn't seem to be in distress. I don't know what to do. Should I just wait it out until she seems I'll or has more kittens?
My cat Arty is in labor. She started labor last night at about 10:30pm. She didn't start having good contractions until around 3:30. She had her first kitten this afternoon at about 12:15 pm. Unfortunately, she was a stillborn. It's now three hours later and she hasn't had another kitten. She's...
