    Butorphanol-how well it works???

    It's just a analgesic. It will help her with pain, but won't speed recovery time.

    Cat eye problem - herpes, ulcer?? (with picture)

    Wow, that's one terrible looking eye, and it's been untreated for a long time. She needs to see a vet immediately. You should be able to find a vet for an initial evaluation for 30-50 bucks. Then they can give you an idea of treatment or likely removal costs. If you can't afford an evaluation...

    Poisen Ivy

    IIRC cat's and dogs aren't allergic to poison ivy. They can brush against it and give it to their owners though.

    Strange lump

    One of my cats had a lump that looked like that (though smaller) on her tail, and it turned out to be a fluid cyst. They were able to drain most of it with a needle, and the antibiotics took care of what was left. So that would be my guess... Hope it's nothing serious

    Heartworm prevention?

    Cats can get heartworms just like dogs. Though cats are much more resistant to them than dogs, it can happen. Prevention is the same as dogs, a monthly tablet.

    Kitten has only purred once, is it shy? Or something else?

    Some cats just don't purr, nothing to be worried about. I've never heard my George cat purr, and can only count a couple of meows out of him.

    How do you clean up antifreeze?

    Antifreeze is very toxic, it takes only tiny amounts indigested to kill. I lost my Grendel cat to antifreeze. If it's allready on the ground mop up what you can, and hose the rest down to dilute it as much as possible. Cat litter will attract cats so I would not put litter on it.

    an adopter declawed even though its against policy

    Wow that's a tough situation... I wouldn't pass anymore business to that vet myself. She knew full well that a declaw was not allowed. If she didn't have any special attachment to that kitten why didn't she adopt from elsewhere? Public/city shelters are full of cats for which a declaw would be...

    George cat just weighed in at near 18 1/2lbs. He's a really long cat, and he's still filling out with regular food now. Then there's Stubby cat who's all of 7lbs, and she's pretty chubby. It's more proportion than wieght

    biting

    One thing that's worked for me in the past. When he bites (assuming its your hand) stick a finger right into the back of his mouth. Most cats will do their best to spit out your finger, after a few times they learn that biting is a bad idea. A warning though, some cats will just bite harder...

    tape worm

    Well tapeworms need fleas as an intermediary host. So flea treatment is the easiest way to keep them from coming back. Frontline, some vaccuming, and a flea bomb should do it. Ick. tapeworms really are foul though.
