Its early days for a frightened kitty. My little white cat is a fraidy cat :rolleyes: she was not as a young kitten, but she had a lot of medical problems with her spay. after she got healthy she was a big fraidy cat. Sounds, people, everything scared her, she hid under furniture a lot. I...

you are right to take her in, the site does not look right to me either. and if there is drainage then there is a problem. it may be that she needs different antibiotics, or even a bit of clean up surgery? My little white cat had horrible reactions to the suture materials used, and...

I worry with spay sites too. the majority of cats never have a problem, but some will. Anytime i have a cat spayed our vet does recommend the cone, cats can do a lot of damage if the lick. I watch close, and if any gut feeling that something is not quite right i have no qualms about taking...

Im not sure i would feed my guys dog food. I think the protein is normally lower, and the carbs are higher. And the vitamin and mineral profile is designed for a dogs needs, not a cats. But thats just my thoughts :dunno:

I agree with @jcat, call your vet. they may want to see her, make sure everything is ok. Or they may just want to give you some pain meds for a few days. If her symptoms continue for more than just a few days i would take her back in. Most cats will rebound quickly, but there is always the...

This is a very personal decision. I think i would want the diagnoses, just to be sure if it is or is not cancer. I can understand not wanting to do chemo. However i would want to know, if its a tumor that can be surgical removed and no chemo needed it might give him several more happy...

i think if you can brush your cats teeth thats great! and also regular vet visits, with dental exams and cleaning when needed is the best thing to do! Our vet recommends wet food, he is fine too supplement with dry, but he likes wet. However he does say that the cats he sees that eat only, or...

I would have her in for a vet check, just to be safe. If the incision is starting to open up, or she is developing a bit of an infection its much easier to take care of the sooner the vet sees her. Do keep us updated on your girl!

i dont know, never saw anything like what you are describing. Maybe time for a vet visit? Could be something else going on? If it seems to happen only when she eats the farmina i would take her off that. Feed her what she had been eating and having no problems with. If the trembling goes...

i know some people get feeders that only the one cat can use, i think they wear a collar that allows it to open for the one cat?

I don't know either. you read a lot about it, but i don't have the answers either. I would say if its the best or only way to get her to take her meds i would keep using it. My little white cat will only eat almo nature salmon and apple for wet food, the only one. so she gets a can for...

thank you, i always like to find places that sell individual cans!

yes, my vet charges a bit more if the girl is in heat. They told me the same thing, more delicate surgery, because everything is engorged with blood. Takes a fair amount more time for the vet.

yes, my two boys love this food, maybe their favorite ever. The girls are ok with it, but prefer Dr. Elseys chicken.

I feed Dr. Elseys chicken, its the only one all 4 of my guys agreed on :dunno: they did like Orijen, but everyone seemed to gain weight on it, so i quit with orijen. They prefer Dr. Elseys anyway. My two boys love anything Farmina, the girls eat it, but like Dr. Elseys better, the boys...

Glad she is doing better! There are a lot of good reviews on royal canin sensitive digestion on chewy. I read a lot of their reviews :) I know my cats have always like Royal foods. Honestly i dont worry much about grains. I dont really feel they are any worse, and may be better than some of...

I know it can be very expensive when they are sick, just like it is with us. I dont think most vets would run up a bill, but if you do not trust your vet can you find a different one? I dont know about the stomach of the one, i would say it may need the x ray with tranquilizer. your vet may...

I have always read that most dog meds are toxic to cats. Some ingredients that work well for a dog will kill a cat. I would not. I highly recommend talk to your vet before you use anything not recommend specifically for cats.

Its very hard, been there done that. :oops: I know my vet recommends 14 days as the time when they should be kept calm, no hard play, and dont let them lick. After the 14 days if there is no problems then they can do what ever they want :dancingblackcat:

yes, those little almost a box things. i get a lot of wet food from chewy, and they use those to top the cases of food, helps with transit damage. I always have a nice clean supply for her to sit in :)
