middle stage of urinary blockage of 7 year old neutered male ‘tux’ cat.
He hasn’t peed in a day and very little before that, is very needy, but still reasonably active. His abdomen
Doesn’t feel hard but he isn’t well.
My last vet here retired and he’s such a horse I lagged finding another.
The local spay/neuter service has a vet but am not confident, nice folks that they are…
I got a tiny amount of Apple Cider Vinegar down him and have ordered the UTI Drops from amazon which should be here tomorrow but am quite worried.
It’s jut me and him now, we have outlived everybody.
Ideas?

Hi,
I’m watching a cat for a neighbor for about a month in my apartment. The cat throws up food every 6 days or so. It smells horrible, like raw sewage. I’ve had cats of my own before and I don’t recall any of them vomiting and having it smell as bad as this cat’s vomit. She actually eats relatively slowly, so she’s not inhaling her food in 3 seconds. She’s not that big of a cat, I was told to give her 1 can of Fancy Feast per day ( broken up into 3 feedings per day for that 1 can). She eats it all on the spot, no leftovers. I also give her small handful of dry food when I’m at work for 8 hours so she doesn’t get too hungry during that time. And maybe a few more grains of dry food if she begs me. Dry food isn’t her favorite, but she’ll eat it there’s nothing else. Can anyone offer advice about why her vomit smells like raw sewage? It’s so bad it makes me wretch. She’s basically a happy cat, doesn’t seem otherwise sick or displaying any odd behaviors. Thanks so much for any help.

My cat lowered his right ear and shaking his head and when i look in his ear it had dark red spots and it was a litle bit swelling inside.i brought him to vet and also i said him that he closes his right eye and when he sleeps his left eye does not close-it is closed halfway.he gave me drops for eyes and something liquid for the ears.thing is that i can see the white tissue on his left eye.so basically the problem seems to be the left eye which do not close-it closes half way when he is bot awake and asleep.i can also see that his ears are not in the same position.he moves the right ear(which was the inflated)when he hears a noise,but the other ear is not moving(i am not sure about this).also note that a week before they injected him for anesthisia and i am thinking the possibility of nerve damage or that his left eye was injured by a scratch.

Recently every time my 7 year old black lab retriever jumps into the car he holds his back leg and whines a little or acts funny then lays down and is okay. He’s out running and seems fine any other time just does this when jumping up into the car. Any thoughts? Im going to purchase steps to help him into the car. Maybe just a sprain

I saw the YouTube video about constipated cats. I really need help with my cat. We have been through so much starting with elevated liver enzymes that are finally back to normal, diabetes that has resolved and now constipation. He was at the ER over the weekend and had an enema, and is on Lactulose and Miralax. I live alone with him and my dog. I am a grad student and completely exhausted from all the care I have given him and and my dog (who also has elevated liver enzymes) in addition to trying to keep up with school and the bills.
Please contact me with any help at maryob814@gmail.com or 415-754-9587. After watching your YouTube video, I took away the dry food. I should have thought of that sooner. I want to know how to care for him and my dog. They are my babies and all I have. Please contact me. Thanks.

Hello,
A cat that I fed in the backyard recently started making very strange snorting sound. I also noticed he refused the food.
After trying to catch him for about a week he was brought to a clinic where he was given Convenia and prednisone to which he responded positively – had appetite again and started meowing.
However, after about a week the simptoms returned and x-ray was done that showed growth in nasal area.
At this time he is on prednison (one dose a day) again and is showing some interest in food, especially bologna. He’s still not meowing which he has always done outside until he got ill.
It was suggested he should be taken for a CT scan but this procedure requires sedation and is extremely cost prohibitive considering what additional information it could offer.
Would you have any suggestion what it could be if X-ray and bloodwork (which was very good) provided?
Thank you
Mick
Is it safe to put chicken broth/stock on my dog’s food? She is a 13 year old German Shepherd mix who is a picky eater. She has no problem eating human food but isn’t especially interested in eating her dog food. Just trying to think of ways to get her more interested in her food.

Just caught my dog eating a Churu cat treat wrapper she dug out of the trash. I only found 1/3 of it. I’m guessing it’s plastic and foil and I have no idea if this is going to cause her to be sick.

Hello,
These cases need to be addressed as a medical emergency. There is no safe advice I can give outside of seeing a vet and going from there
that is my general plan. this will be our 2nd trip, a month ago he did this and in the hours before we went to the night vet he started peeing again and seemed OK, his bladder isn’t hard, he went a few time in the past few days but not much.
I think I am to blame for this by giving him people food while feeding him cheap dry food.
Hopefully we can get in tomorrow night, he’s a handful though and gets very scared/aggressive on the table.
thank you for your quick and honest reply. I am retired and will end up staining credit for this but he is my best friend.
