Hi everyone, so the inflammation is gone and today he was able to eat a full packet of wet food, granted I had to mash it. Still progress though, as before that wouldn't help. Meanwhile, I was looking more into FORL, and now I'm pretty positive that he has it. The lower big tooth has a gum...

Thank you, he does seem to have irritation in the corner, and one of teeth was extracted there. Unfortunately in the country I live there are no specialized vets for dental issues, I've even had a vet who would refuse extracting visibly damaged tooth because "cats hate it".

Thank you so much, I feel so guilty for being frustraited. Especially if maybe he has an issue and I just can't figure out. But whole last year I've been on this and it's exhausting.

Thank you all for suggestions. I looked in his mouth again today and I see some redness in the inner corner of the mouth, I'll be taking him to vet to check it. To me it looks inflamed, but not sure, maybe it's normal. It would make sense if there was painful area in the mouth, why he's been...

Since last year I've been struggling with feeding my cat. We've tested blood, kidneys, liver, urinary tract, he is dewormed, indoor cat. He has also been tested for calicivirus and the test was negative. He just eats such small amounts that I'd have to reheat 1 packet of wet food 4 times to...

Whiskas is known to make cats throw up, I gave my cat it once and he threw up. That was the last time. I would recommend putting him on a strict diet of either quality food or try raw feeding, keep feeding schedule so he doesn't graze all day as his stomach needs rest, and in the beginning give...

Dewormer kills the warms within 1-2 days, they shouldve been out then. Either these are the 2nd generation of worms ( deworming needs to be repeated after 2 weeks to kill the 2nd generation ), or the dewormer given wasn't able to kill those specific worms.

If the blood was red, she might have injury inside near the rectum. That could happen during either constipation or diarrhea. Changing food quickly can also cause more stomach issues versus phasing in / out. Maybe she had a bit of injury before, the change of food caused diarrhea and more injury.

Mine had neutoring + teeth cleaning / 2 teeth extractions 2 weeks ago. I brought him home while he was still under as I wanted him to wakeup at home. That was the best decision looking back, cause when the wake up they try to move desparately, but they can't hold their head up for good 3-4...

Could it be that he is overshedding becuade of an allergy? I would do elimination diet to try and see what makes him lose less hair. Usually poultry is problematic, so I'd start there. Dry food helps with hairballs by scraping it from upper stomach parts to below, so on wet food he would...

Hiding the pills in food / treats has the downside that the cat will avoid the food later because now it's associated with a bad thing. Instead I would suggest learning / practising how to get the pills in him manually, without any food. In the beginning you will struggle to get it in, but...

Unless there is constant chronic pain, I'd let her enjoy her retirement =) when we humans think of the best way to die it is of old age in our home, maybe it's best for cats too. The only exception is if every moment of that is torture which doesn't sound like is the case.

My cat had soap toxication, he was drooling. I think it's more likely he is injured.

The only time that happened with my cat is when he was bored, I was working a lot and didn't play with him. Does he get enough playtime? Try to up it and see if there is any difference.

I'm not much of a dog person, but I know dogs need to be trained to see the owners as alfa, it seems like they don't if they don't follow your command. Until then it might be dangerous to have the cat around them.

If she is grooming less, it's likely her gums are hurting - putting the tongue out is actually painful for cats with dental issues. Ask the vet if there is any ointment you can put on the gums to help relieve pain or speed up the healing process, as well as if it's safe to brush the rest of the...

I completely understand the pain of seeing a stray cat suffering, but I question whether if we put aside our emotions, it would still be better or worse for the specie in a biological sense to do widespread neutering, let alone euthanasia. I live in a country that does nothing about stray...

I had a phase where my hair would fall out a lot and it was long, my cat also is champion of eating everything he shouldn't. Sometimes it would end up in his poop, how do I know? Cause half the hair with the poop would be out of his sasshole and the other half still in, he would drag it around...

Sorry to hear, I know most people on this site will have a different point of view, and maybe they're right, but I personally don't feel good about neutering stray animals. I think all animals die gruesome way - out of hunger, infection, being eaten. Cats or dogs are not exception to that and...

My cat had similar peeing issue, and bladder stones was the first thing they assumed he has, so I would get that checked out with sonography, also check for UTI.
