Yesterday I noticed my cat had a cloudy spot on her eye. I was able to get her to the vet today and they told me it was a fat deposit and nothing to worry about, that one may eventually appear on the other eye and to call them if it does. I got home and started researching as I always do. I was...

My cat is about to turn one, well she might already be one. She was found on the street so it’s an estimated age. She is quite big now though so I’m sure she’s big enough for adult food. I’m down to about a week’s worth of canned kitten food and ordered the same exact food (brand, flavors...

Just a side note I recently got a kitten who couldn’t be less like my older cat and the older cat is not happy. So it’s good to remember where she came from and how far she came. Some of these tricks may have to come back out of my bag. The introduction process hasn’t been easy with her. And the...

The above post is spot on. I was thinking of what advice to give but I’ll just echo what Cat Nap said about sitting on the floor. My cat was the same way, especially with my son who she saw as her playmate more so than me. And he had a habit of laying on the floor a lot and she’d randomly jump...

She seems to be improving with the cream. No new spots have shown up and she’s not scratching as much. It’s been such a journey with her. I’ll be happy to go a few days without a call or visit to the vet!

Mostly redirecting with play. There was one trick I used that my vet recommended. When she would get out of control I’d wrap her in a blanket and hold her firmly in my lap with my chin to the top of her head and tell her in a calm, low voice to stop biting and get calm. It worked. She rarely...

My cat Lyla is 7. I got her as a kitten. She was too young to be without her mother and she had a lot of the behaviors you describe. Fortunately I was able to train her at a young age but she still has some tendencies. She tries to bite on occasion, especially when she’s overstimulated. When she...

My kitten Daisy had surgery 3 weeks ago. She had some issues in recovery and was given a shot of Convenia two weeks ago tomorrow and just finished a course of Clindamycin earlier this week. So she was doubled up on antibiotics. She’s healed from her surgery now, finally! But she’s broken out...

My vet looked at the bottle and said the concentration of the medicine was low so the dosage was correct. The shelter that gave me the medicine never told me I’d need a refill so that probably would have been helpful. I’m glad to know she wasn’t being given too much medicine though!

The medication was definitely over prescribed. She would have needed twice as big of a bottle, 40oz to get through 10 days.

So my kitten had a spay incision that wasn’t healing and was prescribed Clindamycin 2 ml 2 times a day for ten days. Tuesday and Wednesday I gave her this amount and today when I went to give her a second dose I realized how much of the bottle was gone. The bottle says 1-3 ml per 5 lbs in 24...

She looked even worse this morning so instead of taking her back to the shelter where she got her surgery and aftercare/checkups, I took her to my regular vet. Boy do I wish I would have done that last week. They removed the staples and looked at the incision. Their opinion was that it wasn’t...

This poor baby had to go back today. Well she needed to go back anyway because she also had eye enucleation surgery when she was spayed and had to have her stitches removed. Thankfully her eye healed with no issues. But I asked them to check her spay incision again, which now has staples because...

Thanks everyone. Luckily they have a clinic on Saturdays so I took her over this morning because the scab was coming off this morning and the incision was visible and looked bad, red and not all the way closed. They cleaned it, stapled her, and gave her a 14 day antibiotic shot to be safe. They...

No seepage or draining and the incision isn’t opening as far as I can tell. It really just looks like a scab.

My 7 month old kitten got spayed a week ago and had dissolvable stitches and surgical glue. She’s been in an e collar the whole time except when I feed her and then I’m with her the whole time and put it right back on. It seems like a large scab has grown over the incision and part of it came...
