Hi everyone! I'm new to the list, and a new mommy of 2 adult kitties (Bailey, spayed female; and Nucchi, neutered male). I've had both cats for 2 weeks now, and I have a few questions. I noticed about a week ago that both cats have minor crusties in the inner corners of their eyes. They're not oozing or anything, but every couple of days, I have to remove little black crusties. Is this normal? Also, Bailey started sneezing about a week ago, and started vomiting 2 days ago (she's vomited twice in 3 days). I'm wondering if the vomiting has to do with me changing her food (I started weening her onto a different food a week ago). Both cats also have been scratching at their ears (no sign of mites though), and Nucchi has a VERY wet nose. Nucchi also has CRAZY dandruff. I know that his previous owner didn't have a good grooming routine, so is that probably why? Does anyone have any advice?
Also, I brought her to the vet and they said she might have a cavity. Does anyone know what they do if a cat has a cavity? Do they just remove the tooth?
Last thing is that Bailey licks her lower stomach frequently (it's practically bald!). I heard that cats do this when they're stressed, but I'm not certain.
Of course I HAVE to think of these concerns on Labor Day weekend, when I can't ask a vet
If anyone has any words of wisdom, I'd very much appreciate it. You all sound quite experienced
Thanks a bunch!!!
