    Recovery From Struvites

    He went back to his Blue Wilderness kibble. I'm not making THAT mistake again. We have cleaned him and the house, and I will be picking up painkillers on Monday. For the time being he is free to roam and hasn't peed anywhere but the litter (I'm keeping it SUPER CLEAN and that he seems to...

    Recovery From Struvites

    Hi all, So around the end of May, the cleanest cat in the world starting peeing every-f***-where. We took him to the vet, and sure enough, he had struvites. He had a shot of convenia, then some anti-inflammatory medication. We came home with the c/d urinary Hills prescription diet, and he...

    Dying kitten (feral litter)

    There are no rescues to be found in Rabat, Morocco. I handed the cat to the vet and my cousin agreed to take it from there if I take care of the vet fees (she loves cats and rescued/rehabilitated many; the fees are just too much for her). So, so far we know he is underweight, dehydrated, and has...

    Dying kitten (feral litter)

    Hi! I'm at my parent's house at the other end of the world and around two months ago, a feral mom gave birth to 5 kittens. Our neighbour and I have been feeding them, rescuing them from pits and trying to care for them in the best way we can. But lately, the runt has been lethargic. He's...

    Randomly Unequal Pupils

    Let's say that the way the pendant was encased in poop leaves little to doubt. I need to kitty proof the house. That explains her nausea, low food intake, constipation and seeming pain. She is still avoids me touching her, though. But I'm starting to wonder if it's due to the fact that she...

    Randomly Unequal Pupils

    Update.I cleaned the litter this morning and I found my necklace. MY NECKLACE.Elza seems to be doing much better. I thought I had a cat, not a clueless puppy.

    Randomly Unequal Pupils

    Huh. I didn't not think of linking the pyometra/emergency spay to her current situation. To be honest, if the issue is pre-existing, I have not noticed it before... The pet ophthalmologist has written back, he said that it wasn't normal but could be benign, therefore suggesting taking an...

    Randomly Unequal Pupils

    She is a good girl, I'd 100% blame myself if something happened to her. She seems fine, although I caught her trembling earlier today :( I find solace in the fact that when she developped pyometra in January she sought our "protection" (asking us to stay near her, come with her under the...

    Randomly Unequal Pupils

    So vet is kind of stumped. Elza's pupils definitely constrict differently. But she isn't dizzy or wobbly. She is constipated and her blood panel shows... inflammation. He gave me some Prednisolone and a deworming kit (in case parasites have gotten to her brain). He said to watch her and to...

    Randomly Unequal Pupils

    Update: Finally got a hold of the vet. He heard "unequal pupils" and he immediately gave me an appointment at 5 tonight. I'm worried sick, and I can't concentrate on work :(

    Randomly Unequal Pupils

    Calling the vet as soon as they open, but they are closed Wednesday and Thursday and last time I checked they were full :( I don't trust the other vets in my area as they tried charging me 1.5k when she had pyometra (my usual vet kept her for a week and did the surgery all for a fraction of that...

    Randomly Unequal Pupils

    Thank @mrsgreenjeens for bumping this up and the others for replying! So, I'm noticing that cat is eating a bit less (they are on a 2 times a day eating schedule) and there is always some left in her bowl. She now shies away from me when I try to pet her, and won't play with Neymar tonight...

    Randomly Unequal Pupils

    I might be going crazy. But two days ago, Elza was looking at me and one of her pupils was clearly bigger than the other. It went away, and I thought I was dreaming. But then, yesterday, I held her on her back, her face towards the sun, and one of her pupils was less dilated than the other one...

    Special food and medication while I'm away

    So, Neymar's liver values were quite off on his last blood panel, and I was given some "natural" medication for him and some special food.  First of all, he can't eat 3h before taking the medication, and 3 hours after. Second of all, Elza is not allowed to eat that food. Also, he won't take...

    Random lip smacking

    Given the quantity of food he gulps down in one sitting, I have a feeling it's not nausea? And wouldn't his teeth hurt if he had issues there? Keep him from eating, or anything of the sort? His drool isn't foul-smelling, thank god, I'd flip. It's really hard to brush his teeth so we give him...

    Random lip smacking

    Hey! My two babies are often sick. One was the runt of his litter, and the other one I found in a miserable state (and had to buy it from the guy who owned her. I had never seen a bengal that dirty. She had dry paint on her fur and scabs under her feet). So I'm on the lookout for weird behavior...

    Neutering 22-months cat

    Yeah, I tried the baby onesie on Elza. It was worse than the e-collar. She refused to walk. She'd just go limp and stay there and try to wiggle out of it while meowing miserably. It was quite sad. So I brought my boy home yesterday, he seems to be doing good, his ears are cold (they were quite...

    Damaged liver?

    That's good to know! I freaked out a little because well, he's barely two, how can his liver be damaged?  I went to pick him up and vet confirmed he couldn't find anything else that was wrong with him. I was sent home with special food and some caplets, and hopefully his liver values will be...

    Damaged liver?

    Hi! I took my 2 year old male to his neutering appointment. Vet suggested a blood panel, and since I'm completely paranoid (as you can tell if you've seen my previous posts) I immediately agreed, signed the form and went home. Two hours later I get a call from the vet. Not only cat is a bit...
