He is my little buddy, we've been thru so much together! This is absolutely breaking my heart, just wanting to do right by him. I will see ab getting those items. Im so worried ab leaving him alone now. I'm exhausted from checking every little sound I hear, afraid he may be having another...
Hi all. I posted ~2 yrs ago ab a 6wk old kitten named "Little Foot" He survived against all odds.
A family member surrendered him to me a year ago. I had him neutered, vaccinated, including feleuk, and doing good. Then he started having issues from time to time with conjunctivitis.
Here he...
I did a free catch analysis on 2 occasions. I (I was a Vet Tech in another lifetime.) I asked my parents to hold on to what was passed, but they were thrown away. I only have the pic above. They are telling me he is not passing anything in his urine now.
I'm trying to take on that role, but...
Hi all, I'm posting on behalf of my parents. I'll say upfront, my mother has mental health issues and is very attached to her cat, Tiger. My dad does not care for animals and will not spend anything over $50 for a Vet Service. This is key to the situation. :rolleyes3:
Tiger is a 7 yr old...
What works for you guys to keep water from freezing so fast? Single digit temps here currently. The only thing I've tried is placing hot hands under water container inside feeding stations. I'm looking for some kind of battery or solar powered idea to keep water containers from freezing as fast...
I'm looking for a detailed protocol for warming a hypothermic feral cat along with symptoms. I believe one of my ferals I lost last week was hypothermic. I warmed slowly, did everything I knew to do, but still lost him. It's gut wrenching to think there was something I could have done different...
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to update. On Tuesday, at the Vet visit, I made the decision to help her cross over. There were other issues and her blood pressure was very low. I miss her like crazy and am just giving myself time to grieve right now. Thank you all for your help and concern. 😢
She started becoming dehydrated last night, I had to syringe her Pedialyte as it was all I had on hand. Her loading dose of Gabapentin, which was on the high end of the 1.5-5 mg, was not enough. I called this am and rescheduled for tomorrow as I'm looking at having to make a really tough...
Oh my, other symptoms have presented. Lameness in back legs, ravenous appetite, not drinking water tonight. I think definitely Flea Allergy, but also think Diabetes. I have found some one to get her in to be seen in the morning as a favor.
Actually, I did find a single flea in her last week, which I know is enough for a reaction. I use Frontline topical, but have used it for 6 months so it's time to switch to another product. I'll switch back to Revolution.
I worked as a Vet Tech many moons ago and would be comfortable expressing...
Okay, no vomiting yet. But I highly suspect a new food allergy now. I'm going to try cutting out chicken first, as it's most common. (In the mean time before Vet visit) I'm glad the inflammation is subsiding for my girl. She doesn't seem to mind the warm compresses now.
She is constantly grooming, although I'm not seeing the typical scooting behavior. I'm wondering is it possible for cats to suddenly have food allergies later in life? I've had her since she was a 4 week old kitten, and no food allergies. But if that is a possibility then It would explain hair...
I was hoping her anal glands were not infected or ruptured. I've never seen this first hand, so naturally was my main concern. Trying to decide if this is something that can wait 3 weeks, or need to go to ER Vet Friday. The hair loss could be completely coincental to the main issue w her genital...
Hi all. My oldest rescue, Izzi has some issues going on with her back side. She is 12 yrs old, Spayed, stays inside, and I'm not sure what's going on.
Note: Wait time on a Vet appt is 3 weeks. Our ER Hospital is only open on weekends.
She has a lot of sudden hair loss along her back and in...
No cultures as she is injured and out of the office. TX is abbreviation for treatment, sorry.
After talking today, she is calling in Azithromycin in the morning and discontinuing the Veraflox.
Hi guys, so I have a socialized feral, Honey Bunny. Prone to UTIs, have her on Purina Pro Plan Urinary Tract Health canned. She also haaccess to dry kibble. She has been going to the bathroom often, excessive grooming but no straining or yowling or showing signs of pain, not saying she isn’t in...
