hello,
keep calling,,, keep asking for help. Tell the vets that you are willing to come in if they have a cancellation,, my point is that I do not take no for answer when the degree of need is this high. Every vet at my practice fits people in everyday. There is almost NEVER a day that we turn away anyone especially someone who is an established client. Call the shelters and rescues. Put out a plea on social media. My experience has been that these people who do this always find help.
Ask about SQ fluids, a steroid and an antibiotic. Deny diagnostics if you cannot afford them. But get your cat help ASAP.

you are welcome,,, if you find someone to help you affordably please let me know

Hello,
I am sorry to hear about your dilemma. You are not alone. I know that a lot of people are in the same position that you are.
I am not sure how vetmed got to this place. I am not sure why so few veterinarians are willing to go and look for a polyp that if it continues to grow will kill, by suffocation, its host.
The idea that every single one of these cats needs a CT is incorrect. What every single one of these cats is is to breathe. Some of these cats will have polyps in places that we may not be able to get our hands on,, these cases may need a special scope to access. For this reason the price of care may increase.,, but for all of the cats I have seen I think I have given them a second chance at breathing, and a second chance at life.
Call every vet in your area. Try every single veterinary practice that is single doctor (therefore privately owned) and every practice that has some old guy (or girl) working there. I promise that every veterinarian over 50 knows how to, and already has experience with this. They can help.

If you cannot find anyone please come find me.
I will do my best to help.

Hello
I’m sorry to hear about your kitty. In my experience jaundice is an indication that something serious is going on. This is not a sign of a condition that permits monitoring at home as an option. These cases can be anemia, infection, organ disease like liver disease and these cats need emergency medical attention immediately. I just can’t safely give you any advice without knowing more. In almost all cases I give these guys iv fluids and antibiotics and in some cases I place a feeding tube. At minimum you probably need fluids and force feeding but even this might cause other problems. Please call and ask for help from a veterinary professional. Ask about payment plans and seek help at a rescue or shelter. Good luck. I hope your cat is ok

Hello,
While it isn’t unsafe to use a triple antibiotic ointment topically on a dog it is almost always not effective enough on its own to make much of a difference. If you have a wound or cut or laceration showing any signs of infection you need an oral antibiotic. I believe that almost all bite wounds get infected and an ointment isn’t adequate. Please see your vet if you are worried about infection or your pet has any signs of infection.

Hello,
This is a very good question and I honestly don’t have the answer. I haven’t ever used a flushable litter. We have had all of our patients dispose of the litter in the traditional manner. I guess I would say to ask the vet doing your cats radioiodine therapy. Let us know what they say.

Hello,
It is not possible to diagnose any lesion based on a picture. A diagnosis of a mass is only made after a tissue sample is analyzed by a pathologist. I would see your vet and ask them to give their best guess as to what it is and I would also ask them about the possibility of it being a histiocytoma. Even this is only diagnosed after a biopsy. Let us know what they say.

Hello.

I answered this. See your vet asap. Feed soft food and no playing with toys.

Hello,

I have had a few dogs throughout the years that this has happened to. They getting a fight and avulse (pull the tooth out of the socket) the tooth in the process. For these cases I always do a dental and remove the tooth (it will not heal) and then close the gums after removing the broken bone around the tooth root. Your dog is essentially going to lose that tooth but with the dental surgery you can close the area so that they don’t have pain or get infections. Please see your vet asap and talk to them about this. Until then I would feed soft food and avoid playing with toys.

Hello

I’m sorry to hear about your cat.

I think that you need to find a veterinarian or a veterinary technician who can show you how to do this. I would also recommend you start gentle physical therapy and feed canned food to keep the feces soft and able to pass more easily.
