Just a little update (because sometimes I’m desperate for an update for other posts that are dead!) Noodle escaped her cone for about 20 minutes before I noticed and when I inspected her incision I noticed it looked slightly open (whether from her worrying it in those 20min or whether it was...

Been emailing with our vet, she says it does not look like an infection but rather “moist dermatitis as the skin folds on itself in that area and rubs” which is very good news. I am picking up antibiotics today as it seems our low-cost spay clinic didn’t provide them (our normal vet charges...

Thanks a bunch! Little Noodle here was a very sick kitten when we found her in our car engine (URI, ringworm, roundworm, the whole works) so man am I used to medicines sigh. On the last round of ringworm liquid medicine I put it into the syringe with a little bit of chicken juice and she and my...

Well all, I was a fool to think I would get by so easily after this fiasco! Woke up this morning to a very puss-y cat (bad time for puns?) Will be calling the vet first thing when they open up. Assuming this amount of fluid and redness is abnormal. Spay was on Tuesday, this is Friday morning. If...

Well I had to follow this suggestion after she went potty all over her oversized shirt and I decided I had no other choice. Put her in the bathroom, threw the cone on as quickly as possible. I think maybe after everything I’ve subjected her to she was a bit less resilient because it was easier...

Ugh, yes! I safety pinned this thing as securely as I could, went for some much needed sleep and... woke up to a naked cat! 😩 This girl is too much!

I’m shocked honestly! She’s the most affectionate, sweetest little thing until this lol. I just got back from the vet - they gave her the dreaded Shirt which she abhors of course, but not as much as the Terrible Cone. They said the incision looks fine, but unfortunately even their smallest...

I admit I really did try, but she squirmed so hard I was scared she may hurt herself that way. And when I did manage to get it on, she bolted from my hands and slammed into every nearby object until it came off. :/ I might just try to get her to the vet tomorrow morning and see what they can do...

I will definitely try the T-shirt thing though I imagine that might be quite difficult with how skittish she is over the cone and everything else. Thank you for the suggestions! I wish I could get out but I’ve no one to watch her unfortunately as my fiancé just left for work. I never imagined it...

Well, I sure didn’t think this would be an issue. This cat is a gosh darn angel - never thought I wouldn’t be able to get a cone on her. So I took her home from the vet’s after her spay, oh, maybe 3 hours ago and all was well at first. Then she started biting at her incision. Well, shit. Okay...

Thank you all so much! This definitely makes me feel better. Our new kitty does appear to have a URI which we are treating with antibiotics and lots of love (and a lot of worry on my part lol!) Here’s hoping to a happy and healthy kitty soon! Thanks again for all your help, guys. It is much...

Thank you for the reassurance. Normally I take my anxieties to my vet but with covid and all... I’m sure she’s happy for the break! lol

Forgive me if this is the wrong forum to post in. So for context, I have a lot of health anxiety, as will probably be evident. If you read my last post, you will know I have recently come into the care of yet another stray kitten found within a car engine (she’s doing alright, by the way! Just...

Oh also! Would love some advice on getting her adjusted. Not sure if she was a stray/feral or just dumped by someone. She’s about 6 weeks old according to vet. I will be keeping her separate from my other cat for quite some time I’m sure, in a room by herself. I’m sure a lot of things will be...

She is currently inside but vet called to check up and says she is all healthy. Just need to bring back a stool sample to check for parasites and they’re bathing her to check for fleas (also because she’s so dirty!). So hopefully I’ll have a nice little before and after photo for y’all! Also...
