Hi all!
My sweet 2 year old Persian boy (Toulouse) had a really horrible time in May 2024. His bladder completely got blocked and we had to rush him to the ER Vet where he spent three days in the hospital. The vet did say that the urinalysis showed it was struvite crystals and we were sent home...
I'm so glad diet was what your kitty needed to not block again! This is truly what we hope for my Toulouse. It just makes us sad that he cannot have treats anymore but we want to be very strict and 100% compliant with the prescribed diet.
As an update, it has now been a week since Toulouse was...
The day before rushing him (Toulouse) to the ER, he became very fearful and scared of our other cat (Bandito). After Toulouse came home from the hospital, he is still having the same aggressive behavior towards Bandito and has even hit him on the head several times while hissing at him. Bandito...
That is so wonderful to hear...I truly hope this will be in our case <3
Thank you so much! I am so anxious about a second obstruction.
My little boy is back home now. He had the catheter in for 72 hours and the vet said he was peeing very well but I am still feeling a bit uneasy. The moment...
Hi all!
My sweet Persian boy was severely ill and had a medical emergency on Saturday where I rushed him to the ER and found out he had a complete bladder obstruction. He will be hospitalized for 4 days...likely will take him back home tomorrow. He is doing so so well after catheterization and...
My sweet little Persian has a lot of dingleberry problems because his fur is, obviously, long. It makes me not want to hold him and not want him on the furniture. Also, sometimes they fall off and I'll find little nuggets somewhere on the floor almost daily. I call him my stinky boy...but I do...
THANK YOU for such a detailed response! I understand now about the woods lamp. It's also really relieving to know the dermatologist is not as concerned about the adverse side effects of Itrafungol and even says to continue it until lesions go away. My vet was really pushing blood work...
I really found this post exceptionally helpful. Thank you for sharing what the dermatologist had to say especially as this is a specialist in veterinary medicine. I had a couple questions.
I have a woods lamp, and you mentioned the dermatologist said microsporum does not always glow under UV...
Yes I've read many ringworm success stories which is encouraging but I cant find any information what to do topically if the lesion is on the mouth.
The basics of treating ringworm = systemic treatment + topical treatment
But I can't do topical treatment because it's on my cat's mouth near his...
Hi all. I'm battling with confirmed ringworm; initially started in my Persian cat but unfortunately traveled to my Snowshoe cat (and me). My Persian has it on his belly but my Snowshoe unfortunately got it on his mouth. I so far finished just 1 week of Intrafungol systemic treatment but I'm...
