Hello! I Have A 2.5 Year Old Indoor Cat. At His Last Check-up The Vet Showed Me …

Hello! I have a 2.5 year old indoor cat. At his last check-up the vet showed me that he has red gums and suggested a mouthwash-type liquid (DentiCan) that I apply every day with my fingers (it’s really a spray but I’ve found that dipping my fingers in the liquid and running them over his gums is the only way to apply the product.) I haven’t really noticed any improvement. Is there anything else I can do prevention wise? What might be causing this issue in the first place? None of our other cats have gum issues and they all eat a high quality Hills diet. Thanks for your input!

Hello, Two Weeks Ago My 2.5 Year Old Cat Was Given An Antibiotic Injection In His Back …

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!

    Hello,

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

    They are closed tomorrow for a local holiday but I will give them a call on Wednesday. Just getting a little nervous with what I’m reading online. Thank you!

    Hello, I just wanted to mention (in case this is helpful for anyone else) that the lump ended up going away on its own after about 2.5 or 3 weeks.

Hi, my vet recommended that I give my long-haired cat malt paste every three days or so. I’m seeing that there are lots of brands and prices. Do you have any product suggestions? What should I look for in a quality malt product?

Thank you!

    I took her in for her yearly exam and the vet said that it would help prevent a hairball blockage given that she has long hair. (As of now I don’t think this has ever been an issue, she rarely vomits, etc. and she doesn’t have any health issues.)
