I need help with my cat

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

My cat had its paw stepped on and now it’s in pain. The paw is swollen and I think its nails are out. What is wrong? What should I do? How much will it cost me?

What are house hold items that can aid this?  He’s not bleeding but his nail is black.

 

Thanks,

Kris

Help! Cat health problem

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

I have a mama cat and she seems like she is not feeling fine. She does eat and everything I noticed she does not want to be touched underneath her belly, she will not let her kittens feed either. Is this signs of some sort of infection?

Can a cat get sick in drinking water from a fish tank with algae?

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

I have a fish tank and there is green algae growing in it.  My cat has been drinking out of the tank for months, but recently the algae has really built up.  My cat has been throwing up, and it is the same color of the algae.  Is this what could be making him sick??

Cat with chronic constipation

Sunday, November 20th, 2011

Hello
I adopted “Buddy” from the SPCA about ten years ago and I cannot remember a time when he was not constipated.

His stool is like little round stones and he has always had a little bit of blood on his bum.

I bought him a water fountain, and with encouragement he is drinking a lot more water.
He has been on a dry cat food from the vet, good stuff, about $80 for a very large bag that lasts for more than a year as now he is eating mostly wet cat food.

Problem, he eats a lot of ” Whiska’s Treats”, which I fear is not helping with the problem. How do I stop him from eating so many of them?

I also have him eat wet catfood and a lot of his meals are with gravy from Fancy Feast.

How can I help him get over this chronic constipation that I know is causing him a lot of pain?

Thank you in advance for your help.

What do I feed a cat that has a sensitive stomach?

Monday, November 14th, 2011

I have an older cat, shes 12, who has a very  touchy stomach.  She’s been this way since she was a kitten.  If she eats too much or something disagreeable, she barfs it all back up.  She’s also very picky so the prescription foods she has available she won’t eat.

Any suggestions?

My cat is always licking herself. What can I do to get her to stop????

Friday, November 11th, 2011

My cat seems to spend almost every waking moment licking herself.  Her fur is damp and sometimes she licks so much she creates a bald spot.  She also throws up more than average.  I think it is a bad habit.  What can I do to get her to stop?
