First off, Congratulations on being a new pet parent!
Well, unless you have decided to make the food yourself, i would highly recommend Orijen or Acana. My cats totally love it.
Please stay away from brands such as Friskies, Smartheart, Fancy feast, etc. These are very unhealthy for them...
He runs fine and doesnt even flinch when i touch close to the wound. Im sure there is no glass. I sat down and looked at the wound and he doesnt seem to be in any pain. The wound area has a cover of crusts. I honestly do not know what to do... :(
The wound has a crust of blood.. Im quite afraid to touch it to inspect it in case i tear it or it starts bleeding. I couldnt find any Neosporin here, I guess they do not carry it in Malaysia. Any other suggestions?
My cat knocked down a glass and cut himself. Below is the picture:
I am working and the vet i go to is closed by 5.30. I will not make it on time. Another 2 days and i will be able to bring him to the vet. Meanwhile is there any suggestions on what i should do to make sure the wound heals and...
Thats the thing that confuses me.. Since day 1 i could have sworn that Rene was the alpha. Zack gives in to her for nearly everything but the recent changes in their behaviour surprised me. I also assumed that the apha has now switched to Zack but was a bit concerned when she walked off from her...
I had one kitten and decided to rescue and keep another. One is male and the other is female.
I kept them separated for more than 2 months. They only heard and smelled each other through closed doors.
After that i introduced them and they were not fantastic but okay. My Zack would be playful...
I have 2 kittens. Both are 9 months old. I'm leaving for the weekend and I am wondering whether I can leave them alone for a few days?
I will be leaving on Friday night and will be back by latest Sunday mid day.
Both cats are strictly indoors.
My cats eat dry food mostly but they do get some...
I know the person who diagnosed him is a vet because I bring my two kitties to him. He is one of those who actually cares about animals. He rescues street cats and re-homes them. He charges very reasonable/ cheap prices and doesn't ever charge for consultation. That is why I got angry when...
I am very confused as what should I do. The response i got on Facebook... Every single one told me not to put him to sleep. There were some that actually said they are willing to chip in the money for medication but what everyone fails to see is buying meds and treating the poor thing is of no...
Hello guys,
I managed to snap pictures of the cat and send it to a few groups. A vet just informed me (by looking at the pictures) that the cat has Sporotrichosis. He said its in a developed stage and advised me to put it to sleep. Very upset with the turn of events. I expected someone to take...
You did not 'kill' the cat SukeyForcats, you helped. You feed her,loved her.. that is a lot more than most street cats get. What you did was an act of compassion and you shouldn't feel guilty about it. Be happy, be happy that you gave her hapiness, you gave her a sense of belonging, you were...
Thank you so much for all the advice and words of encouragement. It has really made me feel loads better and not so hopeless.
Yes we have a local TNRM group. I must first snap a picture of the cat and then contact the TNRM people through Facebook and hopefully someone would be able to help...
How do people deal with strays. Ok a little back story might help..
I live in apartment with 2 kittens (Both are approximately 9 months old). My male kitten was adopted and the female was a rescue. The female, Rene was to be adopted by my parents but somehow didn't get along with their cat so I...
Update: Brought him to the vet. Got a check and the vet said he was fine.. Hmmm.. its still a mystery.
Anyways, I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to reply and give your feedback. I really really appreciate it.
I shall be keeping an eye on him in case it happens again...
He does not strain or go more frequently as far as I can see.. Neither does he jump in and out of the litter box. If he jumps in, he only leaves after he is done. He seems more quiet (not sure if he is suddenly a good boy or he is not well). No more pushing things down in the middle of the...
Will be bringing him to the vet soon .. Just in case for a check up. But I just wanted to know if anyone has gone though a similar situation and if its an emergency and he need medical help as soon as possible. He is around 8 months old.
