Hello to all and please allow me to explain the situation first. My city is currently under lockdown due to COVID-19, there is no public transport, and I don’t have a car. There is no way for me to get to the very few vet clinics that have decided to continue operations during the quarantine...
Creating this thread because my cat made the most hilarious face when they pilled him yesterday. As he’d just gotten groomed, he was in a bad mood and absolutely refusing to cooperate, so the vet scruffed him and ran the pill along the seam of his mouth. My chubby-cheeked cat went all cross-eyed...
Hi, all!
My cat is a neutered 10-month-old male (I made a couple of posts here before saying he was 8 months old, my mistake) and he is so picky. When I got him at 4 months old, I started him off on the Merrick Purrfect Bistro Kitten Dinner Pate, and he happily ate that for a few weeks, then...
Thanks so much for the links! I will get started on reading them right away.
The vet is just across the street from my place and they’re open 24 hours so I can definitely take him in at any time if he starts straining or exhibiting discomfort.
I can’t see an option to edit the post on my phone, so I will just add, for the sake of clarity, that my vet definitely said it was possible for home treatment to work and that it’s really up to me whether I want to give it a week of medication to see if the problem resolves itself or to go for...
Hi! I posted a few days ago about my neutered 8-month-old male kitten not peeing as often as he used to. I took him to the vet and they did an ultrasound and found the beginnings of a mucus obstruction. The vet said that the go-to treatment is to put him on a catheter and confine him at the...
Update: He urinated twice today! At around midnight and then at nine in the morning. But I was home all day and I noticed that he is grooming himself more than usual. He’s not licking his genital area at all, which I’ve been watching out for, but he’s grooming everywhere else.
Yes, his pee habits are the only thing that has changed about him since he got home. I will try to catch some of his pee, but honestly I think I will have better luck getting a cat calming product and taking him to the vet xD Ooh, great suggestion about the chamomile tea, I will try that if I...
Yes, that’s what I was thinking, that if he were blocked he wouldn’t be peeing the usual amount. Still, I’ll take him to the vet if he’s not back to normal soon. And that’s a great idea about calling... I don’t know why I didn’t think of it?? Lol. Thank you! :)
Yes, his poop had already gone back to normal after three days of medication at the cat hotel but I was advised by the vet to just finish the five-day course.
I’ll start adding water to his food, and that is a great idea about the calming treat and spray. I will buy some tomorrow morning as...
Hi, all! My eight-month-old longhaired male stayed at a cat hotel for three weeks while I was out of the country. It’s been three days since our reunion and I’ve noticed that he’s only been peeing once every twenty-four hours. Before, he would go two or three times a day, and the cat hotel has...
