Is this something that requires a prescription from the vet or would it be OTC, like order from a pet store? I think I’ll definitely ask for this at our next visit

Definitely going to ask about the sedative! It might help for future nail trimmings at home. And yes, I saw another comment suggesting it might not be the protein he’s allergic to. I’m going to start keeping a proper log (previously I was only taking pictures of the cuts/hair loss) and track...

What’s interesting is he seems to have no gastrointestinal side affects from the food. I haven’t noticed diarrhea or constipation. He seems to stomach most of the foods pretty well, it’s only the itching/scratching that has become a problem. Thanks for pointing out that it’s not always the...

I agree, it very well could be seasonal/environmental instead of food. I’m going to start keeping a log to see if there’s any noticeable trends.

I’ve considered that it could be anxiety, he’s a very anxious boy and can be skittish even after being with us for 5 years. Sometimes I’ll stop him from scratching and he stops and doesn’t keep itching, which makes me wonder if it was even itchy at all or is he compulsively doing it? Something...

Has anyone dealt with persistent skin-related or itching/scratching related issues? My 7yo Male has some sort of allergy (?? we assume) and it causes him to scratch himself, rather aggressively in my opinion. First it was mostly around his ears, which caused some hair loss or cuts on the spots...

Update on my boy - Bo. Now I’m leaning more towards an ear infection. Good news is, his condition has improved since I last posted. His voice is coming back, his energy levels are returning to normal, still eating, drinking, using the box every day. He’s not as wobbly as before and he is only...

Back with an update on my 5yo male. We went to the vets yesterday and they believe he has a neurological disorder due to the following symptoms: - Horner's Syndrome (pupils are different sizes and the third eyelid is protruding on the affected eye) - Loss of coordination (wobbly walk, unstable...

No he did not. After getting results back from the first visit - they took xrays, blood and urine tests - all he could say was the blood test indicated an infection due to the WBC count, but without further testing he wasn't able to give a proper diagnosis. He said they noticed a small amount of...

It's possible - I would say it was Thursday - Saturday that he ate a very minimal amt of calories and he was sleeping more, and the wobbly-ness was most noticeable on Sunday and today. I applied some appetite stimulant to his ear this morning and it made him really hungry a few hours later - he...

My 5yo male was recently treated for a fever and possible infection with Convenia antibiotic, some anti-inflammation and fluids. This was 2 weeks ago and his only symptoms were a visible 3rd eyelid, lethargy, low energy, not eating as much and he developed some congestion after our visit...

This is very helpful to know! He has been sooooo sleepy just curling up and sleeping the day away in one spot. Only getting up to use the box and possibly eat. We are on day 12 tomorrow and his congestion cleared up, his third eyelid is returning to normal. He is still low energy but as I...

Thank you so much for your reply. I was reading it could take 7-21 days and so far we are on day 11 so it could definitely still be the initial URI making him so tired. I was especially worried today because he seemed to be wobbly and unbalanced when walking around and the internet was scaring...

My 5yo male suddenly came down with something almost 2 weeks ago. I found him barely moving one morning and noticed 1 of his third-eyelids was showing so I knew something was wrong. I brought him to a vet and they said he had a high fever and was very docile (and usually he hates strangers)...

We recently discovered our cat has a tapeworm and immediately ordered some deworming tablets but they don’t arrive till tomorrow. I know fleas cause tapeworms and he had fleas several months ago but after using some defleaing tablets and treating my apartment, they were gone. But he must have...
