One of my babies got her spay done yesterday. I was given a transdermal to put on her ear and an oral liquid.
Currently she is hiding under my bed. I'm too afraid to grab her and pull her out, risking any injury or causing her pain. Once I could get her out, I'm also concerned on how to hold...
Today I saw there were darker spots on one of my babies poop. I’ve been in contact with my vet throughout this process, as it started with blood, progressed to mucus with some blood, and now has this substance I fear may be melena. I have also mentioned that on the end of the poops, there’s some...
Okay, thanks so much for the detailed info!! I'll bring up the elm bark w/ my vet.
I did try to slowly change it over by mixing them but wood pellets and clay litter do NOT mix well, haha. So I changed one to wood until the next time to clean them out and upped it to two, and from there, 3...
he'll be in tuesday so I'll have to tell him I'll be sending them in and hopefully get his work email cause they've never once replied to any emails i've sent
UPDATE: More mucus/jelly-like substance, this time visibly a yellow-ish color. Also, some white thing( I didn't think to check consistency but it looked squishy), and a darker part that looked to be hair/hairball?
Really? I was trying to see about that but my vet didn't mention that at all! The vet tech did say something about a different form, so I wonder why he didn't.. I'll ask him when he's back in office Tuesday.
I think he mentioned something about unsalted chicken broth- but I completely forgot...
Part of the problem was getting her mouth open- the vet told me to be careful as their jaw can break easily which freaked me out. She's very squirmy, so I'm unsure how to go about that. Do you have any tips on how to do so with that? And are gelatin capsules on amazon by chance?
Also would like...
The mucus was also confusing for me! I can never find pictures of actual poop that would show normal amounts/look vs concerning, and though I mentioned this to the vet, and the color, he didn't seem to concerned(same call as when I originally posted) and just recommended the Hills food.
I'd like to start off by saying I have taken her to the vet and they tested her poo beforehand, which came back negative for parasites. They said she looks okay, and that they expressed her anal glands( I believe that's the proper wording).
The reason I had taken her in is because of blood in...
