    Weird swallowing after drinking

    Just wanted to update on Olaf. Blood work came back clear. Nothing abnormal. He still isn't drinking from any of his waters. I have been keeping him hydrated by mixing water with his food. I just went & bought him a new water fountain. He had one as a kitten but he was afraid of it. The vet is...

    Just back from vet. They did a full blood panel and gave subcutaneous fluid. He was mildly dehydrated. He has dental disease but they are awaiting blood results (due tomorrow) before they schedule a cleaning. I'm worried sick.

    Just wanted to update everyone. Olaf will be seeing his vet at 2:30 today. I can't let him wait till next week so I called and asked if they had any cancelations to work him in & they did!

    Weird swallowing after drinking

    He isn't drinking more than usual. Eating and drinking at the same levels. Pooping and peeing the same. He is acting normal other than while at his water. I even tricked him & gave him bottled water (to see if it was my well water) & he still did this. I emailed & texted the vet a close up...

    I drank some and it tastes ok. However, I'm ordering test kit from Amazon.

    Weird swallowing after drinking

    He has three water dishes in different areas of the house. I refill them with fresh water at least twice a day. He does this with all of his water. But he does it most with the one in the tub (which is also his favorite). I'm on well water if that matters. I've tried bottled water but he doesn't...

    That is what I thought as well. It's very weird & worrisome. Thank you for watching.

    Weird swallowing after drinking

    For the past couple of weeks, my cat swallows excessively after drinking. He is a 2 1/2 year old neutered, FHV positive boy. He eats and drinks the same amounts as before. It's just everytime he drinks he does this tongue smacking thing. It doesn't matter what the water temperature is. He...

    Help for a feral

    Thank you. He is back to feeling safe enough to rest on the patio. He also seems a bit more trusting of me. When I put his breakfast out this morning he sat by his bowl waiting. He was ready to dart off if needed. But, it's progress. 😆

    He came back for breakfast. He is still very nervous, but at least he knows he can eat here when hungry.

    Help for a feral

    Sorry for the delayed response. Animal Control returned him today. They think he worked the hook out on his own before they took him away. He didn't have it in his stomach during xray. They said his mouth looked fine inside. They couldn't see any damage. Which is strange to me because I would...

    Help for a feral

    Thank you. They picked him up yesterday. They assured me he would be treated by a vet, neutered, & returned to where he was trapped. I was able to get an up close look at him once he was trapped & the hook was gone. I informed the officer that the hook was there earlier in the morning. So I was...
