Feral cats are driving me crazy marking their (MY) territory... especially my classic car.
What can I mix up and spray at the places where they spray to keep them off? Lots of different recipes online. I honestly don't want to experiment and see what works with which cat. I just need something...
I hear you guys! I'm going to the vet in a few hours from now. I found a vet after hundreds of calls. He said he cat see me today. I told him what i did and he said that that is exactly what he would've done (albeit use a real catheter ). But guess what? He doesn't even have any:(
Kit is up, a...
Nope, not in the medical field. Just had to take care of a lot of sick cats. Learned some things along the way. Thank you so much for caring maggiedemi!
Will do. Actually, it's my friend that's a nurse, not me :)
i'm in the UAE. I used xylazine and ketamine to sedate him. As for catheter...
I just managed to catheterize him and drain the urine - 60cc!!. His bladder was hard as a rock. He is knocked out right now from the sedation. Poor thing was also severely dehydrated. If you pinched his skin and let go, it would literally stay in that position for a good 3 seconds - means he was...
Ok, i understand i need to take him to the vet, like right now, but i can't do that because there is no vet available right now. So my options are pretty limited: I either do nothing and watch him die, or i do something.
I do have (vet) antibiotics in hand (marbocyl {inj} and amoxicillin {liquid sus}). I could give it to him right now but im wondering if this is a "physical" problem...like a blockage. If it is a blockage, would the antibiotics help until i can get him to the vet on Monday? Again, been...
Thanks for answering everyone.
He is now starting to bleed from his urethra. The blood is dripping out. Not sure if he is peeing. I dont think there is any pee in the litter but i can smell urine where is laying. No emergency vets around here unfortunately. I am really worried. I am not a...
It's been about 24 hours since Kit has been doing this. Every now and then he would throw up what appears to be clear (but actually a bit yellowish upon close observation) saliva...and it's a lot of it! He is not eating, but is drinking a lot. Most of the time he is hunched over by his water...
no, he didnt give a reason. Not many vets around here too for 2nd opinion.
yeah i tried that before but the leg has stiffened in that position. cant splint it.
I got a recuse cat whose front right leg is paralyzed. Basically, she drags her leg at the wrist where it's bent in (check out attached pic. Not my cat. A pic off Google but quite similar to my cats situation).
The people who took her in wrapped a cloth around the leg and cut circulation. It...
Yes i have permission.
I thought the would be good judges of distance, or height specifically, because i always see them back away once they realize they are up too high and look for alternate ways to come down.
My apartment is tiny. Plenty of space up there. I was thinking of building them a house, put up some cushions all around that i would regularly wash, and let them call it home. There are planty of spaces where they can hide do its not a bare roof. But obviously I’m worried that they might jump...
Well, it's been over 24 hours since i've put it on. Just got back from a dead fleas discovery journey (flash light n'all) and i found one. Just one dead flea from all the cats i got. Am i missing something here?
I finally decided on Revolution after extensive research. Got 4 indoor cats, all loaded with fleas.
Put it on and put the cats in separate kennels (in the empty, fleas-free shed) so they don't lick the medicine off each other, and i can get to see the fleas on the kennel floor, dead, so i can...
Just got revolution. A few questions:
I got the 40.1-85 lb one for dogs. How should i dose it? Just how much to put in an insulin syringe would be perfect. According to my calculations, it’s slightly less than 0.38cc/ml per (5lb +) cat...is that correct?
When it comes to treating the...
OK so spray frequently. Got it!
Does it have to be a specific spray? I have here Raid that says for flying insects but looking at the active ingredients it says Permethrin (which is synthetic Pyrethrins acording to a quick Google research). Would it work just as well as those specifically made...
Thank you so much for the input. Wow...all this time i thought Pyrethrins was dangerous to cats. Read its toxic to cats and many horror stories. So 4 hours after spraying it, it would be %100 safe on them??
What about Boric acid instead of Diatomaceous earth. I see mixed reviews on how...
I got a fleas infestation going on. They are all over my home and cats. The cats are in a part of the house that has SO MANY stuff. It’s impossible to move everything to be cleaned. No carpets.
This is what i am looking for:
A product that i can use around the house that would, without a...
