I would never declaw my kitties. So no, hes not. I dont know, it could be dead pad material, really looks like it. Didnt cause him any pain cutting it off.
Ok i only looked at the first set of pics, the second pic looks exactly where Mickey had it, but not the same color. And Bonnie, sounds exactly like what Mickey had. He also has a tiny circle on another pad that looks like another could grow there.
No it does not look like in the pic. It just looked like a callous or wart, and was black. I clipped it off last night. I just started by clipping off just the very tip to see if it would hurt him too much, and it seemed not to so I slowly started clippping a tiny bit off each time til it was at...
When I was clipping his claws last night I noticed this wierd pointy growth on the tip of one of his pads. I thought it was something stuck in his pad so I gently pulled and he cried out. He cries every time I pull on it. Also, its split down the middle like a split claw. I tried pulling it...
I had this same problem with my cat Mickey a few months ago. He had a urinary tract infection and when I took him to one vet, he felt his stomach and said he defenitely had a urinary tract infection and that it would cost 600-1000 to fix. I had only been living on my own for about 5-6 months and...
How do you know when a cat is drinking too much water? I watched Mickey go to his water bowl 3 times in a few hours the other day. I never really noticed before how many times he goes to his bowl but I never seen him go that often. Maybe because I was in my bedroom at that time and could hear...
i will defenitely be talking to the vet the next time I get a bag of food.
But I just have one more question. If I was to feed Mickey normal food (instead of prescription food) Which would be better, wet or dry? I have heard Tuna flavoured wet food is bad for UTI's, is this true?
Just as a...
At the moment, I feed all three of them dry food specifically for preventing a urinary tract infection. It costs me 30 dollars a bag and lasts 2 weeks.
So I need some advice. Should I keep feeding all three cats this dry food, or switch them al to wet food? If I do switch them all, should I...
oh, and if its grain free, does that mean there is no risk for that pet food recall that affected the wheat gluten? I dont feed my cats wet food at all since then, too paranoid.
So would it be better to feed Mickey say, a can in the morning and a can at night? Should I leave dry food out for him aswell or no?
The vet told me it was ok to keep my other 2 on it and it just makes sense to me that if I did, neither of them will get a UTI. Am I wrong on this?
Maybe ill...
