Good morning- many seromas are absorbed back into the body over time. So long as your cat is not in pain, and your vet doesn’t feel as if it is something more than a seroma, I would see if it fixes itself.

I think I would check with the vet before starting anything. I am quite sure it is advice given with good intentions, but it would be smart to make sure that your vet is aware that there is an issue. They can prescribe something to help.

A dog bite is always an emergency. Even if it looks small- chances are it is much worse and the chance for infection is very high. Please get to a vet if you haven’t already. I hope things are ok!

Good morning- First thing I would do is phone the vet this morning. Tell them that you want to be seen ASAP so that the same thing doesn’t happen again. Having said that- if you are not comfortable with your vet, I would advise a second opinion from a different practice. Perhaps a few phone calls to friends for a recommendation and then call for an appointment. Best of luck. Please keep us posted.

If you cannot afford the vet ER, please call your regular vet right away and explain to them what you think has happened. Is this an OTC preventative? Or one suggested by your vet?

Hi there-
I am so sorry you and your dog are going through this. I think I would get in to see your regular vet ASAP- bring all the info from the ER vet to share. Let your vet know your suspicions. I also think that you are within your rights to phone the ER vet and ask them about ivdd and why they didn’t check that possibility out (or do an X-ray). Also let them know that the meds are not helping. Meantime- I would think crate rest and limited activity might help- you might want to search out Dr. Magnifico’s YouTube videos on ivdd. She has a lot of experience and you could find some helpful info there. Very best of luck to you????

I am so sorry for you all. Heartbreaking. I would see about a necropsy to possibly find out what happens. I truly am so sorry.

Hi there-
Sorry, but I believe more information is needed to even consider any reasons. There could be so many- possible injury, joint issues, neurological…. the list could go on. Best advice would be to speak to your vet about it. Possibly get some xrays for starters…. best of luck.

Hi there- so sorry this is going on. I think you might have to go “back to basics” just for a bit… meaning that rewarding for going outside like when first potty training. Being on a leash will help her from bolting back inside. You may have to wait outside until she goes, but rewarding right after will help cement the deal. As she was house trained before, it may not take long at all to get her back on track. Hope this is helpful!????????

Morning-
I’m sure you have already discussed this with your vet, but maybe keeping a diary would help narrow things down and help you and your vet come up with a plan that lasts a little longer? Best of luck????
