Long story, short - I took my cat to the vet as he had diarrhea for 3 days (due to a food change we think).. the vet put him on antibiotics and recommended adding a little bit of metamucil to his food. She warned me that he may not poop for 24 hours because of the metamucil. It has now been 24...

Yeah I think you're right. I'll keep an eye on it and definitely schedule a vet visit. I tried to cool him in a lot of ways in the last week (ice packs in towels, fans, ice cubes in his water, wetting him down, extra water in his food, etc) but he was still struggling. Poor guy.

I'm talking about breathing rate, not heart rate!

Thanks for the reply!! Unfortunately I have never had A/C. Where I live we usually only have a few days over 30. We are just coming off of 6 days in the high 30s. The inside of my house was 33 degrees and my one cat is has a lot of hair! I tried all the things you said- I had ice packs wrapped...

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to reply. I called the vet this morning just to be safe and they said they used internal sutures and those can cause a lump to form in the area sometimes. The vet tech said she will double check with the vet but there likely isnt any need to worry unless there...

Thanks for the reply! I called the vet just to be safe and the vet tech said it can be caused by the internal sutures they used and is normal. She said she will double check with the vet but nothing to be worried about unless it was combined with discharge, swelling,etc.

Today is 4 days after her surgery and I discovered this lump today she I was checking her incision. You can only really notice it when she is stretched out. The lump itself feels firm ish and doesn't seem to bother her when I lightly touch it. She is otherwise acting normal - eating, drinking...

I gave her pain meds for the first days after the surgery (saturday and sunday) but no pain meds yesterday or today. I hope nothing is wrong with her internally or externally! Her incision itself looks good. No swelling, redness or anything at all. I am hoping it's just that she isn't a fan of...

My 6 month old kitten is shaking her paws out when she walks. Kind of like she has something stuck to them or stepped in water.. but she didn't. I have checked between her pads to make sure nothing is stuck there. I've played with them and they don't seem to be in discomfort, however she has...
