Hello,
My best guess is a skin tag with irritated tissue. But the only way to diagnose anything is with a biopsy. Please ask your vet.

Hello,
I tend to stick with the old faithful king toys. Always pick a size larger than the diameter of the neck. Just so swallowing is not possible.

Hello.

I’m sure this isn’t what you are hoping for.. but my advice is:
I strongly recommend that you have your cat spayed now. If she suffered a pelvic fracture she may not be able to deliver the kittens and they will die inside her which will kill her.
She also needs to be in a cage 24/7 no exception. If she is rested in a cage for 8 weeks the bones should heal. (I have never had a young cat heal), but I am serious about the cage rest and the spay. I know you are worried about finances but your cat needs to be spayed anyway so let’s try to avoid a bigger problem and more devastating sequela.

Hello,

I would call your vet and discuss this with them. I suspect the diarrhea is causing constant straining and this is causing the prolapse. So I would ask about something for pain and get the diarrhea under control.

At my clinic I would talk about trying gabapentin or a steroid and adding a probiotic. Or ask for a second opinion from a feline specialist. Also ask about diagnostics available. Like a fecal or maldigestion profile.

Hello,
I do not have an endoscope. These are typically only found at a specialty office.
Has your vet taken an X-ray? At my clinic we sue them and forward them to a radiologist. They are often able to give a diagnosis.

Hello,

I’m so sorry to hear about this.
I totally understand your predicament. I would struggle too.
From a legal and personal indifference standpoint your husband should go get medical care at a medical facility which will set a few things into motion. The note will be followed up by the appropriate authorities. From the emotional standpoint (and I am not going to lie I live here), it is hard to feel responsible for the actions of animal control intervention. With that the next person might be a child and this is hard to live with.

I guess just follow your heart. And I wish you the best of luck.

Hello,

Yes it might be related to the vaccine.. is there anyway to contact the veterinarian who gave it to ask them?

It looks like it might be a tapeworm? You can bring it to your vets office and they can help identify it. Also.
There is a lot of information about them online. I tell my clients to treat for fleas.

Hello,
It sounds like he is doing well now. And while I realize that you are stressed I don’t think returning him while he is well is in his best interest. There are a lot of things you can do to prevent and prepare for any future episodes. You could find an online group to help educate and support you. Or ask to volunteer or work at a cat clinic to help understand how to monitor and care for your cat. Also reach out to your vet for advice.
Stressing out and surrendering him don’t help you or his situation. Will a shelter take care of him if he blocks? Have you asked them for help?I have offered to help but surrendering him to me is not the answer either..
Life is full of challenges. It is in these moments that we decide who we are and who we want to be remembered as. I was once a very poor very young and very desperate cat mom. When I had no one to help me when these kinds of situations happened. I decided I would never be in that position again as I loved my pets more than anything. so I worked for decades to get myself as much animal experience from as many people and places as possible. It took me almost 20 years to become a veterinarian. It was cases like this that made me who I am. I never give up and I never feel like I didn’t have options. I also help everyone I can.
I wish you both luck and health.
Sincerely
Krista.

Are you sure they will take him back and treat him if he does block? And can you ask them to help if he does and wait to see if that happens before you surrender him?

Further I have repeatedly said that I will help you. This would be much easier if you were located closer.

I wish him the very best.

I can say that I know it is very hard to surrender. But I would rather see him have every chance possible than to be euthanized due to cost.

Good luck to both of you.
Krista.
