Hi
I am sorry that you are going through so much. I really think you should schedule time with your vet to sit and talk through the diagnosis, what the treatments are and see if you can come up with an affordable payment option. Explain your financial situation – see if there is a way to set up some sort of payment plan ???? so that your cat can get prepped diagnosis and treatment. Hopefully you and your vet can come to a mutual agreement. Best of luck to you!!!!????????
Hello there-
Years ago, we had a male cat who had to have a blockage removed surgically. They kept him while he was catheterized overnight, and then we brought him home with very strict instructions. We had to keep him confined during recovery, (because while recovering there was a chance of leaking) so we got baby gates and made him very comfy in the family room. I made sure to have a nice big blanket down and a few spares so that I could launder and change them out. We also had to change his diet to Rx food and change his litter to low ash in the hopes that he wouldn’t have a recurrence. We were diligent about his diet and litter and were very lucky that he never did get another blockage, thank goodness, because yes, I remember it was very expensive! I think that, if you haven’t already, you and your vet should have a sit down and let your vet know that you have a budget that is being exhausted yet the problem is still there. Ask for their help and guidance so that you are able to get your cat back to healthy. Ask them what food, litter, recovery plan, etc. they recommend. I hope this info helps. Best of luck to you guys!!
Oh my that looks so painful! Poor thing. I know that my vet does not recommend peroxide. I cannot remember the name of it, but she recommends this blue solution that you dilute in warm water. It looks like the peroxide is doing more harm then good????
Hello- congrats on kittens. Has your cat improved????? If she still seems feverish, I think I would call the vet to be on the safe side.
Hi there- sorry there hasn’t been a response. I am hoping that things have improved, however if they haven’t and there is still an odor, I think a visit to the vet would be needed.
If you are able to find anyone willing or any helpful information, please post and share????????
Hi there-
It may be a seroma- which is not dangerous and with time, can go away on its own. You may want to call the vet and explain the situation to see what they say. Having said that, I would still monitor it very closely. I assume that she is on or was on antibiotics? When is your follow up visit to your vet? If it is soon and everything stays relatively the same, you should be safe to wait until then to speak to the vet. If anything changes, pain, lethargy, warm to the touch, etc. I would call the vet immediately. Best of luck!!????????
I’m glad you have an appointment scheduled. It does sound like he needs to be seen by a vet and have his teeth looked at and cleaned. Perhaps your vet can push up your appointment?
Hi there!! I’m wondering if he might just need more time? Perhaps supervised visits and then keep those two separated when you cannot supervise? Then try again to go unsupervised and figure out what works. It sounds like you’ve really done your homework and prepared for multiple cats with the perches and extra litter boxes, etc. I’m hoping they get used to each other. I know sometimes things never get “lovey-dovey” but they can learn to coexist and tolerate one another…
