Okay, so the vet figured either fleas or allergies. She searched him for fleas and checked some dirty spots on his skin for a red tint (flea poop turns red when wet as you probably know) and didn't see/find anything, so she sent us home with antihistamines for six days. It's day two and he's...

Sorry for the delay regarding an update. Thanks for your responses, @Alice07, @di and bob, and @fionasmom. I don't think it would be a dry air thing. We haven't run the air conditioner for weeks and it has been raining a lot recently as well. It being a reaction to the anesthetic is possible...

Hey guys. So my cat Kodlak had tooth extractions about two weeks ago. One of the stitches came loose a few days ago, so we brought him back and they put him under for about half an hour to clean out the extraction site and put a fresh stitch in. Since that second vet visit, he has developed...

Oh really? I thought they were a common thing for all surgeries lol. I can't imagine why people would be annoyed by a vet asking for a recheck. I love my cats and get so worried when health issues arise, so rechecks help ease worry about the surgery not healing well or properly. Some of my cats...

Okay great. And she never asked me to bring him back for a recheck. She hasn't for any surgeries my cats have needed. That's my only qualm about her; she's great otherwise. My previous vet always wanted set up rechecks. I should ask her why she doesn't request them when I see her next.

Lol looks like it! You make good points. Thanks :) Do you think it's necessary to clean the part that's missing the stitch? It's not dirty in the sense of dirt or fur, it just has a bit of crustiness around and by the entrance to the wound from that seepage I mentioned. I gently wipe away as...

Oh I misread your reply lol sorry. I thought you were asking if it was fresh and bleeding. I see what you mean about it not being a fresh wound.

I don't *think* it's fresh with delicate tissue, but I'm not sure. It looked pretty fresh yesterday but today it looks a bit better. There's no active bleeding, just a tiny amount of typical wound seepage. He wouldn't be able to lick it off if I put some on. I got him an e collar.

Hey guys. My cat had surgery almost a week ago to remove a couple of mast cell tumors. He ended up pulling a single stitch out a couple of days ago. The vet recommended putting Polyporin or Vaseline on it to help the wound stay moist while it healed, since she deemed it unnecessary to put...

No problem @verna davies! I hope she can come home tomorrow as well :)

Hey guys. So I brought her to the vet and she has a slight fever and there is a bit of swelling. The vet didn't really say whether the swelling was normal or not but based on her comments it sounded like it was normal for the most part because she just had teeth removed. The vet suggested...

@verna davies yeah I'll be calling as soon as I wake up tomorrow! She unfortunately has never had an interest in anything other than dry food. I tried giving her wet food anyway though, and then I tried tuna. No interest in either. I'll be softening the dry food a bit next and see if she's...

Hey guys, as the title implies, my girl had dental surgery/extractions (yesterday) and I'm pretty sure one of her cheeks is swollen now. Is this normal? I figured it would be due to the nature of the surgery but I looked it up and there was really nothing mentioning it, surprisingly. Most of my...

Hopefully I'm not too late to the party here lol. We've had two cats need teeth removed. Our first cat passed away after the surgery while he was still at the vet's :( Neither us nor the vets have any idea what happened. So in that situation, it went terribly. But I don't think there was any way...

Sorry guys, didn't see I had replies. Thanks @mrsgreenjeens and @1CatOverTheLine. I'll contact the manufacturer through the link provided and see what they say. @1CatOverTheLine, the other two links you provided deals in milligrams, and the label on mine says millilitres. I tried Googling the...

Hi everyone. New here! Just a quick question about deworming. I recently got some from the vet-- Strongid T Oral Suspension-- and the dosage has me confused and I'm wondering if it's normal. The label says 2ml per 10lbs every three months. That's it. Every dewormer I've heard about requires...
