    On the verge of surrender

    And OP doesn’t deserve to live in a house covered in cat urine. She didn’t even adopt the cat, it’s her sisters. No one is having good quality of life in this situation. She’s brought it to the vet and done other behavioral work. what else can be done? You could argue behavioral euthanasia is...

    Bloated kitten

    I’d make sure you’re keeping up on vet appointments. For worming to be most effective in kittens, he should get a second dose in 2 weeks. If he had fleas, I’d make sure the wormer includes tapeworm dewormer.

    On the verge of surrender

    I couldn’t live with a cat that did this. I don’t think you’re wrong for surrendering him. You’ve tried a lot of things. My friend has luck with dr elsey’s cat attract

    Spayed kitten

    If she’s not licking and you can watch her, you don’t necessarily need to keep her in the cone if it’s upsetting her. Some also put a baby onesie on.

    Dealing with dry-food addiction

    Mine won’t eat fish and almost everything has fish in it. Very frustrating.

    Do you vaccinate an indoor cat?

    They do separate based on high risk cats and low risk cats. So if yours is outdoors a lot around other cats, it may be different than if it were indoor only. I was only speaking to indoor cats.

    Do you vaccinate an indoor cat?

    https://wsava.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Small-animal-vaccination-a-practical-guide-for-vets-in-the-UK-Michael-Day.pdf this is from the UK. Im so sorry, an ill pet is an awful thing to experience. A sickly cat shouldn’t be vaccinated according to official guidelines either.

    Do you vaccinate an indoor cat?

    My mom has a ragdoll and she vaccinated on schedule through the kitten series. She’s become a bit of a door dasher as an adult. My mom wishes she could keep her inside, but she isn’t fast enough. Mine was let out by a pet sitter and was missing overnight. He hasn’t been outdoors since I got him...

    Does she look like a mix?

    I could possibly see it. She looks a lot like my cat that is half ragdoll. But the parentage was known. Mine is just a short hair though so if we didn’t know who his parents were, we wouldn’t know. He has huge eyes like a ragdoll, but they’re green. He’s also very floppy and sweet. Yours seems...

    Do you vaccinate an indoor cat?

    If your vet is vaccinating yearly, they’re going against official guidelines. Cats don’t need yearly vaccines.

    It is a bit different because humans don’t get injection induced sarcomas. Neither do dogs, but cats do. They get them with any injection, not just vaccines so it’s thought to be caused by inflammation after an injection. They can even get them just from a blood draw. Most inflammation they get...

    Do you vaccinate an indoor cat?

    Even the most holistic vets insist on one frcvp when they’re over 16 weeks old and then getting a titre. I do 2 as a kitten (one after 16 weeks) and then one year booster in case it didn’t take. But I don’t plan on revaccinating. Maybe if I ever take in a stray in the future. Some suggest not...

    If it’s only been a month, I think there’s a good chance it’s just inflammation. If it were me, I’d personally not vaccinate this cat again. Unless your rabies laws are super strict, then I’d insist on Purevax rabies only, leg only. Some cats are more sensitive to vaccine inflammation than others.
