Help! My cat sniffed a lily!

Tuesday, August 26th, 2014

I went to visit my mom. My mom has lilies and she put them on top of the table.  Accidentally, my cat jumped onto the table and he was sniffing the lilies. I pulled him away immediately but I am still a little worried. I think he had gotten some on his fur  and I washed it off right away.

I am still worried. Please help. What should I do?  — Anna

 

 

I adopted a persian cat with terrible matted fur.

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014

The mats on the sides of her body and down her legs are similar to an inch and a half thick, at least, and of huge size – each about the span of my hand. I called the groomer and they won’t even endeavor to prep her. I additionally called the vet and they weren’t even certain that the groomer who works there would shave her. What would it be a good idea for me to do? Should I attempt to trim her hair so I can see what I’m working with and afterward shave the matts?

Please help.

One of my cat’s eyes is dilated

Thursday, February 6th, 2014

I noticed it randomly that my cat is blinking with only one eye and the one that is not blinking is really big and fully dilated. The eye that’s blinking is cloudy and I am worried. I’m going to be taking him to the vet asap but I just need my mind at ease. Please help.

Thank you

I got my cat neutered and he is still aggressive?

Saturday, January 11th, 2014

I got my 16 month old male cat neutered because he started spraying and is very aggressive towards my female cats. I have no other male cats. I got him neutered last week and he is still acting aggressive towards my other cats, chasing them around and not leaving them alone. Will he eventually stop this now that he’s neutered?

Thanks.

I believe my cat has an oral tumor! Please help!

Thursday, October 24th, 2013

I believe my cat has an oral tumor. In the past 2 weeks the bump under her chin has grown 3x the size. And I just noticed that she lost a tooth and her other teeth are turning sideways. She has also been drooling a lot of blood. As well, losing a lot of weight. So is here anything over the counter type of medication I can give to her to help her ease the pain? What are some ways to help with an oral tumor in a cat without having surgery?

Please help! – Kristin

My young cat has been diagnosed with cancer

Saturday, August 31st, 2013

My 1 1/2 age young cat has been diagnosed with cancer.  It is either leukemia -not feline-or lymphoma. I will know by the end of next week. I had already started her on essiac and a blood system booster a few days ago. I have now added immune strengthener drops. What else can I do for her. Can holistic treatment get around having chemo?  Please advise.

My kitten that has diarrhea

Thursday, June 13th, 2013

My 2 month old male kitten has diarrhea.  It just started.  He’s already had his first 3 vaccines and shots.  Adopted him from the SPCA.  I was wondering is there any kitten or cat foods that are especially designed for kittens with diarrhea?  He has been moved around a lot like from the shelter to my house so I’m thinking stress is what triggered the diarrhea.  He’s been drinking water which I was told is a good thing.  He hasn’t been OVER DRINKING though. Please help.

Thank you.

Air bubble on my cats stomach. Help!

Friday, May 3rd, 2013

My cat has some little air bubble in his stomach that when I touch, it is soft and will move a bit.  At some point it will go away and come back later. Does anyone know what this could be? Is it harmful to my cat? Should I be worried? Should I get him checked? Please help. — Marian

Does gingivitis in cats never completely go away?

Friday, April 26th, 2013

My cat was diagnosed with gingivitis 6 months ago and 3 teeth were removed. The vet also scaled and cleaned her teeth. Even if her teeth receive regular cleaning by the vet annually, can gingivitis still come back?
