    Would like some advice/help regarding an aural hematoma that reoccurred after quilted ear surgery

    I am just seeing this now, yes years ago Simba had something similar on his one ear, and he was (and still is!) older and we remember him having to be netted years ago to take to the vet because he was like a wildcat so I posted it on here and Di & Bob I remember said to just leave it alone, she...

    All of a sudden Snickers is aggressive towards Samantha

    I think you nailed it! We just wish he would take it out on one of their many toys instead of poor little Samantha, she didn't do anything wrong!!!

    Snickers who is about 18 years old and is generally a very nice, sweet cat all of a sudden has become aggressive towards 15 year old Samantha to whom he is related to, he and her mother Sabrina had the same mother so whatever relation that is I don't know but that's them lol! But lately he is...

    Bald spot on Simba's spine now

    I just realized that I never updated this thread, his fur IS coming back on that bald spot so we are happy about that, but very confused as to exactly why it happened. And the vet called last week out of the blue, just to see how he was doing, I thought that was nice. He's rolling right along...

    Dealing with the toughest period of my life these past 7+ months

    We had pop's funeral service on Friday and it was very nice, a nice send off for him. Mom is doing okay and so are we, we know he wasn't living anymore but we know he is now. Monday morning I got up early for work, and in the quiet in the bathroom I "heard" him saying in my head "thank you for...

    Going to TRY taking Simba to the vet tomorrow, oh wow...

    He's still here and doing good, eating like crazy but he looks good and I petted his side and he put on some weight so he is okay. He still has that area where his hair fell out from the Convenia shot, but the scabs are just about gone and it looks like it might be starting to grow back again...

    Dealing with the toughest period of my life these past 7+ months

    Mom is okay, thanks for asking. She, like us, realize that he is better off now, it was so very tough to see this once brilliant man who was an electrical engineer for Western Electric and who designed things for military submarines struggle with Aphasia and then Dementia and now a stroke, it...

    Dealing with the toughest period of my life these past 7+ months

    Pop passed away tonight around 5:01 p.m., I was on the road but was able to make it there in time, and we think that he waited for me as Deb said after she told him that she saw me pull into the parking lot his breathing became very normal, not erratic like they said it was off and on all day...

    Bald spot on Simba's spine now

    I stopped at the vet after work a short while ago, the vet we saw isn't in until Wednesday but they sent the video to their email, they know how to do that I don't lol! We will try to see what this is, and hopefully don't have to bring him in again, but we might have to. But he isn't after it at...

    Bald spot on Simba's spine now

    I looked at this again today and there are more little scabs and a red area up towards his neck, I took a video and will have to stop at the vet again to show them, I don't think this is from the shot now, maybe I'm wrong. We REALLY don't want to have to take him back again but we need to treat...

    Bald spot on Simba's spine now

    We didn't have any Neosporin so we used Manuka honey.

    Bald spot on Simba's spine now

    I took a picture and video of this on my work cell phone, I don't know much about them so I can't put a picture on it here or I would, but the vet that saw us two weeks ago was there, looked at it and she said that is where she gave him the Convenia shot! Said she never had that happen before...

    Bald spot on Simba's spine now

    Deb also remembered that our cat Sugar years ago was getting something similar happening to her and remembered that she would get "scratched" when she would jump into the litter box that has a hood on it, and lately Simba has been going in that one, I just watched him do it and he does seem like...

    Bald spot on Simba's spine now

    We stopped the Lysine and he seems so chill and relaxed today, so that is good. Just now I gave him something to eat and got a bright white flashlight and looked at what was going on, and he has a few little red/yellow scabs on his skin, we don't know what that is from, I was thinking of putting...

    Bald spot on Simba's spine now

    I'm going to work and will look again when I have time but I did a quick Google search and see many posts on there about reactions and hair loss from Lysine, and that makes sense as this happened in the time frame of us giving it to him daily for about 9 days or so.

    Bald spot on Simba's spine now

    She examined him, listened to his heart and lungs, they gave him a shot of Convenia and then two techs held him down with small towels so they could clip his claws, that's about it. I thought about there being a flea or something on the towel but there isn't any red marks on him plus I would...

    Bald spot on Simba's spine now

    We took our old guy Simba 22 years old to the vet about 12 days ago (which was a major accomplishment!) because he was very congested, they gave him a shot of Convenia and he really responded. We started giving him powdered Lysine to help too, but the other day we noticed that he now has an area...

    Struggling now with anxiety after putting Stanley down

    He himself called me today, he had the stent put in on Friday, he said he actually coded so they almost lost him! But he said he is walking around and hopes to come home in a few days then said "I might try to come in to work on Friday to do some scheduling" but we'll see about that. His wife...
