Is he overweight? I think it could be a number of things -none of them serious so don't worry- but a trip to the vet would sort everything out. As per my life motto, better safe than sorry :)

Hm I think it looks like some plaque and irritated gums. Have you noticed any changes in his/ her eating habits, like reluctance to chew food?

Hi! I feel you, cat acne may become a nightmare in some cases. I have 5 cats in my house and last summer my eldest got a severe case of acne whereas only one of my girls had a couple of black spots that looked like dirt and went away as soon as I washed the area with special shampoo. In a matter...

I have to agree with catwoman707 it could be anything. My eldest had those symptoms out of the blue and it turned out that he had pancreatitis which is perfectly treatable. We pinpointed the issue the moment we got an ultrasound so I also think that that's gonna limit the possible causes...

Hi there! Blocked cats are a nerve-racking thing to be going through, but hang in there, you need to stay calm for your buddy. In my experience, and from what I've read online, it's not that unusual for a kitty to be sent home the same night that he gets catheterized, but I don't like the fact...

Please go to a different vet before making any decisions! Keep us updated and hang in there! :vibes::alright:

Me too, but I understand that there are people who have emergencies.. I did some research but I'm sure I'm missing something.

wary of **

That's the main reason I am calm too. I'm not seeing any alarming symptoms like a bloated belly. Do you know if there are any things I should be particularly wary often after the PU?

No, he didn't.. He barely ate 3 days before the surgery and the day after -for most of which he was in the ER. He doesn't like going to the vet, and I mean AT ALL. He throws major tantrums when he sees the cage. His tummy is soft and as far as I could tell his bladder is empty. This is the...

So my youngest had his PU surgery on Thursday and was discharged on Friday. It's all been purrs and biscuits since then which is encouraging. He eats some kibble and Royal Canin Urinary SO canned food and drinks water on his own, his pee is coming out nicely in good amounts and he seems pretty...

Oh I'm 100% sure about that. He's hyperactive so I had to contain him in his room. I let him run around and sniff everything for about an hour and the rest of the family was cool about it, some curious looks but no hissing. I saved the best for last.. He ate on his own! I'm gonna feed him some...

That's exactly what I thought.. It looks like his testicles are still there. I would contact the vet asap

Thank you for sharing this moment, it is hard, but it is life :grouphug: I have 5 cats and my eldest is 14 right now. He's healthy, but I know that the day will come at some point and I get literal panic attacks when I think about it as I have never had to let a pet go. It truly helps me to read...

So here we are, back home, making biscuits and we just peed. He hopped on to my lap and began to purr. My sweet boy is feeling much better already! The pain meds are probably kicking in too, but still. He also drank water. I'll try giving him food later so wish me luck :vibes::hearthrob:

Yup exactly. My orange tabby started to get some around the age of 6 if I remember correctly and I freaked out but for no reason, as it truly is purely cosmetic. If you could take a photo we could confirm :)

I'm happy to have helped. I've been to numerous forums as well and honestly, the amount of invaluable information that I learned here is just jaw-dropping. There are so many kind souls all in one place that it's truly beautiful :grouphug: I'm getting my baby home tonight! He's peeing on his...

I feel you. It's very important to trust your vet and be confident that they know what they are doing. Sometimes what they suggest may not feel right and I have learned the hard way to trust my gut from now on, no matter what. I wish I thought like you when I had to make a decision regarding my...

Whoops just saw that you answered about the pee/ poo part. My nerves are getting the better of me. Still curious about the drinking/ eating part however, if you could please share your experience.

Luckily I told my vet at the clinic about Convenia the moment I arrived there. The thing is, Convenia isn't considered a bad drug in Greece, which is where I currently live. People actually think that it's what the name implies: convenient. They are completely unaware of the horrible...
