Hey, my 11 month, 5 week pregnant cat, suffered a very high fall yesterday, after she managed to escape from the house, and she returned with inability to walk properly on both her back legs, and i suspect it is a pelvic fracture, I’m a broke college student and Cannot afford a surgery, what limited research i did online made to think that euthanasia is the only solution, but I’ve been constantly monitoring her, she is comfortable, resting in her favourite place, she is purring, i fed her with a syringe and gave water to her the same way, i kept her litter box near here, and she did get up and pooped in it, what can I do, please help me save my baby????

Hello, our one year old male neutered cat (domestic shorthair) has been having soft bowel movements for the past few weeks. The vet prescribed him the Hills Z/D diet to help with it. He had some improvement but we weren’t told to stop other treats until recently which we did. He is now exclusively being fed wet Z/D and only a few pieces of the dry Z/D.

His blood test showed elevated eosinophils and the vet suspects IBD.

Three days ago we noticed a few millimeters of rectal prolapse after he had a bowel movement. The tissue went back inside and I gently wiped his backside. There was a little bit of blood. We called and took a vet appointment and he’s being seen in a couple of days.

Since then he’s had the prolapse each time he poops, and it retreats about 30 seconds later. I am very worried that this will become a chronic problem requiring surgery. I would like some advice please on what questions I should ask the vet. What if they suggest surgery? Should we get an ultrasound done, or a colonoscopy? Thank you.

Looking for personal advice as my husband got bit by a close friend’s parent’s dog yesterday unprovoked and it was a pretty aggressive bite. Her parent then told us he bit someone a month ago. I’m a nurse and am comfortable managing the wound, but as an animal lover and friend, I feel so guilty reporting it as I know what the outcome will be.

Hi, where are you located? My cat has something wrong with her esophagus, I was told by the vet after I did (X-rays, blood work, urine exam and it was like $1000.00) that I have to go to a specialist and they said they need to put a camera to see what it is and that alone cost $2200.(they said that would be just to look at what is going on and does not include treatment.) I cannot afford it because I live alone. I have two cats and I’m just doing my best, (I just moved as a single young woman by myself with my 2 cats to a new state and just trying my best) if I had the money I would’ve definitely done it right now.

The vet gave me some thing to coat her esophagus(SUCRALFATE) to try to help but I don’t see a difference(she licks her food and coughs & it discourages her from eating but I know she wants to eat) and I don’t know what else to do. I feel so very helpless, I was wondering where you are located, maybe I can get her help,she really needs help right now. Her name is Penelope and I love her.

Hello, two weeks ago my 2.5 year old cat was given an antibiotic injection in his back for a small cut on his foot. A few days ago we noticed a lump at the injection site that seems to be about 2cm in diameter. It doesn’t seem to hurt him, and his is acting 100% normal. Could this just be a normal vaccine reaction? Should we be worried about a possible sarcoma at this point? Thanks for your input!

I have no idea what it is nor have I ever seen anything like it. It’s definitely a live worm because it’s moving. Can somebody please explain to me what the heck this is?!?

Babybear is now back at the animal rescue where I adopted him he will be able to get the care he needs. I’m very Heartbroken but I know he will get the care he needs. 3 months ago I adopted him and one month before that I had to put baby Pia to sleep. She was with me for 14 years She got cancer of the throat and it just took her whole thoracic . I probably should have never adopted another pet right away. But I did and I loved him but he got sick and had the urinary blockage twice. Which not only cost me a lot of money? But just broke my heart and made me really scared that this was gonna happen again. Knowing that the vets in my area are just money hungry. They didn’t care about him They had me sign a promisay note to pay before they would unblock him NO Compassion for the animals And as I looked for a vet. I was having more of a hard time and I was having to go back to work and I work. Overnighthis became a problem because baby bear did not get the right care form me. So this is why I decided to give him up. As I say, my heart is f****** broken. And I just I miss him already, I dont know.
What to say I just feel like s***, but hes in the right place. Hes gonna get care, and even though we’re not together anymore. I’m hoping he’ll get the right place. He’ll get a loving home like he had with me. Thank you, Krista. Thank you, Krista. I really appreciate you telling me to maybe get involved with a shelter or clinic to get more experience. I because this really broke my heart and I was beside myself letting him go . And Trying to find vets to help me with babybear Oh .it sucks, take care, thank you.

Help please I’m stressing out . Is this going to happen again? He has been peeing
Playing, eating but I noticed he’s only peeing 1 or twice
A day is that enough? He is drinking water I need to know how to palpatate his stomach ???? I’m not able to afford much more I cannot find a affordable vet in vero beach I’m running out of options ???? I’m going to take him back if I can’t get a solution before he blocks again. I have never dealt with this. I have had female cats .

I think I’m taking babybear back to the place where I adopted him I cannot afford to care for him and it seems everyone is telling me this will happen again and I can’t stand for that he will be where maybe he will get adopted by someone that can afford it .
So later today I will make that decision ty Krista

Babybear had his 2nd blockage which now the cost is 1,600 I live in Vero beach Florida and these vets are notorious for charging you as much as they can .
Unfortunately it’s gotten me to the point of having to make A difficult decision you see? I adopted baby bear from the pound and I had no idea that male cats were prone. To this urinary blockage.
I only make a little bit of money and if I don’t find Somebody that can treat him for a fair amount of Money. I will have to give him up when I first brought him in. It was 8 o’clock at night and they took a minute and they charge me. I think the first cost was like, almost $300. Just to look at, um, no, no, give me some pills and sent me home. Then at 12 midnight, he just. Started laboring and I had to bring him back. And that was another $600. Which day just put a calendar in relieved to urine? And set me home with some more pain. Medicine and an anti inflammator a month later, it happened again. And I took them to my vet. Thinking that it was going to be a lot more reasonable. Well, that’s not the case at the end of the day. She took a minute, she. You know how to know how to add it to? She, I guess relieved Tim and then church me. I think it was 760 dolland the only medication she gave me was antibiotics which I had to pay for on top of that this has become a real heartbreaking situation. I need help, I need a good vet. I live in Vero Beach, Florida. Help me, I’m baby bear.
