I was reading on reddit when I first got Trudy and people were dscouraging others to get pet insurance which is why I opted to just get the vet clinic's own care plan which includes x-rays, vaccines, physical exams, and dental cleaning & x-ray. The dental cleaning alone is usually $1,500 from...
Yes, I will go through with the extraction but I was also just wondering if it was normal because nobody told me that their teeth can get this bad even with dental care. I am considering taking her to a dental specialist now. The vet actually did recommend that last time but at the time, I was...
Hello everyone,
Today I took my cat, Trudy (10 year old), to the vet for a check up and the vet told me that one of her molar looks like it needs to be extracted and looking painful. I said okay, but I am a bit suspicious...because she does get her teeth cleaned once a year, it is included in...
How long have you had her for? It takes time for cats to adjust - they just need to learn that you are not a threat. It sounds like you are on the right track. My husband and I had to learn this with our cat - I frantically looked online to see if I had permanently traumatized my cat by...
Hello, I adopted Trudy from a previous owner who got her through a rescue. Her story: she along with her two other siblings were dumped in a trash bag on the side of the highway and she was the only survivor. Her end of the tail is kinked because of it so it’s not as long as it should be...
Yeah, in the instructions it did say they strongly recommend giving with food. But idk maybe she was already feeling nauseous from the pain med even though that one I did give right after a meal...but she was just not wanting treat, or wet food, or dry food (soaked) so I will try giving it to...
Yes, I was able to give her that this morning its the antibiotic (starts with C) that I'm having trouble with but I was able to give it to her by just grabbing her out of her hiding spot :/. She is hiding back in there now. I'm supposed to give it with food but she didn't want any so I had to...
Hmm mixing with wet food might work. I already fed her this morning but she does need to take it with food so I will try putting it in a treat or something...you got me thinking so thank you!!
Hi, thanks for your reply. I apologize I wasn't clear in the post that I am having a hard time giving her the liquid meds in the syringe. I was able to give her the little pill with little sardine yesterday lol and that is only once every 24 hours. My husband just woke up so I will maybe try...
Hello fellow cat lovers!
I got Trudy (8 y.o.) into the vet yesterday for her dental cleaning. The month prior, she got all the tests done to make sure she could undergo dental cleaning. Well, the doctor called later and said that she needed 3 teeth taken out. They gave me 3 medications (pain...
She was fed one day by my friends and then my husband came back and was there rest of the week who she knows and is comfortable with. I think she just needs time and I am more anxious lol
I dont think so...this is the first time she has done this and actually she just came out and ate again. She was eating just fine until she looked up and saw me get the poop bag and she for some reason bolted. I appreciate your response though and I do plan on brushing her teeth daily just...
I have had her since September and she and I bonded quickly but yeah, maybe it will take time for her to adjust because we did move 2 months ago to a new place and she adjusted in about 2 weeks but I guess me going away might have caused her to be suspicious. Thank you for your response!
Hi, my Trudy has been acting very anxious since I came back from Oregon last week. She has gradually been coming out more frequently and staying out with me and my husband in the living room longer and usually comes and sleeps with us at night. But during the day, she is still acting afraid or...
Hello everyone, I just wanted to give a quick update to a thread I posted a while ago regarding my cat puking after her mealtime. I contacted the vet after failing to put her in her carrier because she fights getting in there and runs away, they told me that if she is drinking and eating like...
