This seems like a bizarre symptom, but I read it on a symptom list the other day and can’t remember what it was for. When I got back, my cat had developed this symptom. For at least 24 hours, the fur down her back is standing straight up as though there’s static electricity caught in it, though there’s not, and it’s very oily looking only in that area.
Any idea what this could be? I think I was going down a list of malabsorption illnesses at the time I found it, but I can’t remember clearly.
Are plain chopped up carrots good for cats? Our cat has decided he really likes them, and I thought they would be a great and healthy treat for him every now and then so I want to know if it is okay to give him carrots?
The infected cat was given dewormer, as well as my other cat who was at the vet anyway. However, there are two other cats and one dog in the house. Do they all need dewormer? The vet said I should bring them all in, but is that really necessary? I’m having trouble determining if tapeworms are contagious or not. Help!!!
I have two cats that are vaccinated against feline leukemia. If I adopt a feline leukemia, positive cat, can my current cats still catch it?
My cat has crazy dandruff. I tried bathing her but she freaked out and pooped in the tub. We brush her at least once a day. She didn’t use to have a problem, and we haven’t made a sudden change in her diet or environment. What will I do now? It’s super gross.
I have a nine month old female cat and about three months ago and I got a male cat too. We thought maybe my female was pregnant cause her nipples started to swell, and now she has huge golf ball size bumps on her belly. She acts pregnant but not sure. I was wondering if anyone could help me out. How long does it usually take for tumors to get huge if they are? This all started when the male cat came to live with us. Help!
My cat, Wenci, is 18. He’s been my best friend forever and my baby. I have all kinds of memories that he’s a part of. He’s the most cherished pet I’ve ever had (we had dog and another cat for a while), and I’m not ready to let him go. We thought he was healthy for a lengthy time; aside from a heart murmur and arthritis, he was doing very well for his age. We recently moved a long distance, and he started acting weird. We thought that he was just upset about moving and the brand-new environment, so we let him get adjusted. After a few weeks, though, we figured it couldn’t possibly still be the new house bugging him, so we brought him to the vet. They ran X-Rays and found a tumor. We don’t know how long he has, but I was wondering if there was a way to make him better and live longer, or at the very least, make him comfortable. He’s too old to operate on, and the vet has been giving him antibiotics to increase his appetite and get rid of any other infections, but if there’s anything else that can be done, please tell me because I’m having problems letting go, and I don’t want him to go. He seems to feel alright, because he’s walking around and eating more, so please don’t tell me that the most humane thing to do would be to put him down. I just want to know how to make him live longer or make his last few weeks comfortable. Thank you for your help!
Yesterday I brought home a little sick kitty from my fiance’s house. He lives on a farm, and this is a barn kitten that has an eye infection and a slight col, runny nose, but no raspy breathing. My fiance’s mother couldn’t bring him in the house to treat him because she already has her hands full with 2 indoor bottle baby goats, 2 other kittens with the same eye infection and her bird breeding business.
He is on a medicated eye ointment and amoxicillin, and just started treatment yesterday. I am feeding him a wet food diet because of low weight.
What else can I do to make him for comfortable? Any tips or ideas?
My cat’s eye has become sorely irritated several times during the past and has cured itself within a couple of days. However, this time, his eye is very red and seems to be out of focus. Above his eye appears to be swollen. He is acting sleepy but restless. He just keeps trying to clean the eye. It seems like he might have a problem with one of his eyelids. Help!
Seriously, I don’t beat my cat…he is clumsy. However, I don’t think he should be breaking bones. He is four months old, and he has had a broken leg, pelvis, ribs and toes. Most of this came from when our golden retriever stepped on him. The others have been from normal kitten stuff. The vet thinks that he is just unlucky.
