Oh yes, I LOVE our vet! He's on a bunch of veterinary boards and has won many awards and accolades. He doesn't seem overly concerned but I AM!! Systemic basically means it travels throughout the body. I suppose this might make sense b/c the vaccine itself is designed to work systemically...

She had her check-up today, two days after the antibiotic inj, and the lumps have gone down. BUT!!!!!.... there is a NEW LUMP right above the very tiny rabies lump. I can barely even feel it, but the vet said it's bigger than a pea but smaller than a walnut, and he gave her another antibiotic...

Well she saw the vet, he was concerned at the size but at this point said he didn't believe it to be a sarcoma, thank GOD! He injected an antibiotic under the lump and we are to follow up tomorrow. It *MIGHT* be getting smaller but I'm just not sure. It's not bigger. I'm just SICK over this.

our kitty has a bump on her left side near her spine, down by her hip, too... but hers appeared a week after a vaccine. I know EXACTLY what you mean about being completely inconsolable... I cried hysterically all night long last night. Good luck to you and your kitty, I hope all turns out alright.

I think the shot *may* be helping, as the inflammation beneath the lump seems to have gone down a tiny bit... but it may just be the way she is laying. Gosh, it's so hard to tell. If the antibiotic shot DID help, does that mean good news or bad? Also.... in terms of VAS, how soon do those...

Took her into the vet today because the lump on the left side is pretty large. He vet is very concerned that it seems to be sort of spreading (she had her shots two weeks ago today). He said it could be a localized reaction to something being stuck under her skin. So he gave her a shot of...

Our younger kitty, about 4 yrs old, likes to wrestle around with the other cat. It's always playful, but every once in a while a claw gets one of them. I noticed last week that on the left of her nose, she had a dark spot, and while she moved incessantly when I tried to inspect, it looked to...

Can they suddenly develop these reactions? She had her shots last year (right after she had shots at the shelter, which I was unaware of) and she was perfectly fine. Now all of a sudden this year she gets lumps.

anyone? please?

oh my, our cat had worms a number of months ago, and they were a bear to get rid of because they got so bad she got blocked up back there. I'd get her to the vet ASAP and let them flush her out and get dewormers.

Our kitty was vaccinated on 4/16... Rabies, FeLV, FIP and FVRCP (or whatever it is). She has two lumps under her skin toward her hind legs. Moveable, firm and they don't hurt her. One is on the right (rabies) and is about pea-sized. The other (the one that has me worried) is on the left. It...

One of out kitties nibbles on her fur and skin a bit when she gets really into grooming. Not casual grooming, it's only when she's really into it. Tonight, she was grooming our other kitty and I noticed she did it to the other cat as well... the other cat didn't seem to notice (it was behind...

Well took her to the vet this morning, they are keeping her for at least a few hours to give her an enema and let that drain. I'm really praying that does the trick!

OK UPDATE... gave her the Science Diet Hairball Remedy can, she ate most of it, and I'm leaving it out for her for little while hoping she'll finish it off. Right after eating it, she used the litter box. Peed a lot, but also turned around and pooped a little bit. She had to strain pretty...

Do you think giving her a wet food tonight may help? I still have some left over from the last incident... it's "Science Diet a/d"

praying for kitty!

they're on Nutro Natural Choice wt. mgmt. What food works best for hairball issues? I just played with her for a good 20 or 30 mins trying to get her all riled up so that she might get her digestion going a bit better.

They eat Nutro and they seem to love the food, but it's weight management so I think I will be soon switching to hairball remedy after this current bag is eaten! My guess is that her obsessive grooming may be a coping mechanism. She came to us off the streets of the most dangerous city in...

I try to keep up with the preventative LaxAire (an inch daily when trouble appears - coughing, etc... and a inch every few days in between) but the amount this cat grooms is just - wow! She doesn't seem to be in pain, although a couple days ago she did meow at the litter box (just like last...

Our 6-ish y/o kitty seems to have a hairball blocking up with works. Last time this happened, she was at the vet's for a week (very expensive!) and had to have fur literally pulled out of her behind after a series of enemas, then followed at home with LaxAire. This time, she is presenting with...
