Forgot to mention the nodes slide under his skin, and he seems to be uncomfortable when I touch them. So there's definitely some tenderness. As far as hardness, they aren't "hard" per se. They're very well defined, they aren't oddly shaped. He's doing well - he ate boiled fish, liver, kidney and...
Hi, thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately I don't think I can find any of that around here. Only general (??) Hospitals. When my dad's dog broke her femur he had to drive her to the next country over because it was a very complex break (this a few years back as well). He's had an ultrasound...
I haven't been here in a while so i apologize for the late reply! My kitty ended up returning to normal the next morning, I was just to scared because I'd never seen a cat react this way. We ended up having to buy this special medicine because she developed a bulge (inflammation I think?) But...
Hello everyone you've provided great insight and help the last time i posted here so I decided to come back for some more insight.
My baby Kylo was born to my first rescue, we kept him and another kitty that died at 1 month due to an undiagnosed genetic disorder.
Kylo started having diarrhea...
I wonder if she's accidentally ripped the stitch loose? There's no pus or weeping really, but it's a bit red and looks wet. She's eating very well and is playful. I sent a picture to the shelter worker that took care of her adoption and she said it looks fine (she's an experienced cat owner, she...
Hello everyone Piper is doing quite alright but her incision looks a bit odd. Should I try to find a vet? Most if not all are closed right now. I cleaned it with Betadine as instructed. Hence the color. The top portion is worrying me.
Hello everyone Piper is much calmer today and I was able to modify a cone I had laying around and put it on her. The incision looks okay, but there's some dried liquid around it. Unfortunately my vet is unavailable today. I'm unsure if I should clean her belly or not.
On the bright side she's...
She's currently in my late heart dog's room ( he had his own room! That's how much I loved my sweet boy) there's a couch and a few shelves but that's it. I think she wants to jump on the shelves. How can I keep her from doing so? I just checked on her and she's sleeping in her igloo
I gave her a bit of wet food and she gobbled it up! She is much calmer! ♥️
My vet told me it's bananas to keep a KITTEN that just had surgery without food for almost two days... Especially without water since she runs the risk of getting dehydrated. She told me to give wet only for now
Unfortunately she took it off almost immediately 😭
It looks good. It's less than 2 inches with no visible stitches (you can see a bit of thread but if I'm being honest I don't think she can pull it). It's not red or anything. They stitched the incision with absorbable stitches, so we won't need...
I don't understand why they didn't give me pain meds. One of my other cats ripped one of her claws off (wall climber!). I took her to the vet the next morning and was given all sorts of meds! Anti inflammatory, pain meds, antibiotics and cream. I called my vet for advice. They gave me NOTHING...
Thank you for much for your reply. Yes I found it extremely odd too as my other cat had emergency surgery a while back and she had eaten a few hours before.
When I contacted the vet and the shelter they told me the same: keep her from eating and freaking until tomorrow morning. When I...
I texted the vet right away - they told me it's normal but I'm scared to be honest. We tried to put a onesie one but she tried to byte us multiple times. I don't know how to keep her from licking the wound if she won't let us touch her 😭 I'm gutted
Hello fellow cat lovers,
I'm in a tough situation... I adopted a kitten that nobody wanted, she was the runt of the litter. She turned 6 months on November 14th, as per the shelter's agreement, we had to spay her. Spaying at 6 months is quite normal around here.
We have another rescue female...
