Thanks for the replies. It doesn’t sound like a hit nerve then. I didn’t think it was since there was a delay. I will for sure advocate for him to not have anymore vaccines. If required, then one at a time. I may ask about titer tests too. He’s slowed down some after about 24 hours when...

Yes, I’m so glad he’s feeling better. He’s still somewhat cautious, but much improved. I suppose it could be the needle hit a nerve. Would a hit nerve show up 2-3 weeks post injection?

Update, I did contact the vet. We had to wait a day to get in to see them. They are double booked, and my cat was still eating so they made us wait. There are few vets here, and they are all swamped. My spouse was able to get him to the appointment. They didn’t find anything in his blood...

I have an inside only kitty that would get sensitive back. We would see some dander and though it was dry skin. Come to find out, she is sensitive to fleas, and she had fleas after closer inspection. We thought she was flea free. Surprise. The vet said fleas have a sticky substance on their...

Hello all, I took my two indoor kitties to get rabies vaccine because our vet won’t fill prescriptions without it. While at the pop-up rabies clinic, they were also giving the combo. They were both due, so I said to go ahead and do both vaccines for each cat. My 8 year old male cat has...

Another 24 hours have passed. 4 days in total. They seem to be doing ok today. Walking past each other with no reactions. They were interested in playing. Girl kitty has some cough and phlegm going on. I’ve read that is normal after anesthesia and should go away after a week or so. Last...

I wonder if they over do anesthesia too. Update: today, the male has not hissed at the female. I can tell they are not 100% yet, but it seems the male is slowly coming around. Im not sure if taking them both at the same time lessened any no recognition aggression. I will only have to deal...

Thanks. It’s the male that is doing the hissing today. I took them both at the same time because there was a special on dentals. Also, I thought if I take them in at the same time, they would both smell similar and lessen any issues. It didn’t work that way. 😕

I took my male and female inside rescue kitties to have their teeth cleaned the same day. They are about 6 years old, and I've had them both about 5 years. Both are fixed. After we got them home from the cleaning, I let them in the same area and there was lots of hissing. I separated them 24...

I have this brush. It works well on my short and medium hair cat. Although, my short hair cat doesn’t seem to care for it. She has sensitive skin, and the hard bristles are too much for her. She prefers a soft bristle brush.

Thank you for the reminder about probiotics. She's been on a few rounds before. I'll start some likely after she's off the antibiotics. I'm having difficulty finding a grain free wet food she will eat. She is still scoot free for the past 3 days or so. She still has part normal stool and...

I didn't know that, Mamanyt1953. Thank you. I'll have to pick up some chamomile and give it a try. Update: the leaking has pretty much stopped within 2-3 days of expression except for a very small amount right after she uses the litter pan, and she hasn't scooted for about 2 days. I've been...

My vet office called me first to check in on Bebe! I asked about the 'leaking'. They told me it was normal and it may last a few days, but to call if it continues longer than about 5 days. I noticed the 'rash' area today. I can't tell that it is any better or any worse. I saw today though...

Bebe will go back in 10 days to have a follow up expression to make sure they get everything. She has been scooting even more the past 24 hours since the expressing. She is also leaking a brown like substance that is a little runny/loose/grainy looking. I am assuming that this is anal gland...

Update: We are back from the vet appointment. After I told the vet that Bebe was scooting and had a foul, pungent smelling butt, the vet wanted to check her glands. Bebe did have full anal glands and a slight temperature. The vet expressed them, and Bebe will be on a round of antibiotics...

Thank you all for the replies. She does not over groom that I have seen. In fact, she could stand to do some grooming. The 'rash' is still there. Her vet appointment is today in a few hours. As for the rash, the last time the vet mentioned doing a skin analysis if the antibiotics didn't...

I"m starting a thread on this because I'm a bit at a loss on what is going on with my 1 year old female kitty. She keeps getting this 'rash' on her back leg (one side), and she's started scooting. She developed a rash like area on her back leg last December. The first time to see the vet...

Vader, I am so sorry you are going through this with your family members. Having manipulative family members can be very hurtful and difficult to deal with on a consistent basis. Set some boundaries with them and stick to it. They won't like it, but they will learn eventually that they can't...

I'm curious how your soft side carrier trial went. Is your cat more comfortable in it than a hard sided carrier? I'm considering a soft side carrier.

I agree with kittens mom.. i prefer the guillotine style pet nail clippers especially for my male with larger claws. JMonty, I am so glad you are paying attention to your kitty and taking good care of him.
