My Cat Has A Very Bad Abscess On His Head. Was Sick For A Few…
My cat has a very bad abscess on his head. Was sick for a few days before we realized. A drain tube was installed about 30 hours ago. Lots of drainage still. Cat not very responsive, eyes not opening to look at me, mostly laying in one spot. As far as i can tell, he’s only getting up to urinate in the box. He drank some water last night. Had a very very small bite of food but hasn’t really eaten for days. Is this normal now that the tube is installed? He was given fluids and a antibiotic shot. I feel like the infection, not the antibiotics, is winning the battle. How long before I see progress or need to take him back to the vet? I’m thinking we should go back tomorrow 48 hours after having the tube installed if he’s still like this. Thoughts?

Anonymous For how long has this gone on?
This could be medical. Have you taken your cat in to check for a UTI? If not, this should be step 1. Take a fresh urine sample with you, if possible.
This could also be behavioral. Is your cat stressed? Do you have two or more litterboxes (one per cat plus one), and does your cat use any of them? Have you tried different litter types? Has your schedule changed suddenly, or is someone new in your life? Could your cat be bored? Do you use room sprays and scents that might bother him? Do you have other animals in your home, and could any of them be picking on him? How about people – do you live with any other people, and could they be harassing or otherwise mistreating him when you’re not around?

She does not have worms or fleas. Her skin doesn’t look irritated and she has been eating the same food since we have had her. I was just wondering what this could be and what I could do about it to help her hair.

Anonymous It could be mange. Get her to the vet for a skin scrape to determine the cause.
-
Ashley Schauner I read that mange is contagious and I have 3 other dogs. None of them losing hair like her. Do you think it could be her losing her puppy hair to grow in the adult hair?
-
Anonymous There are two types of mange.
Bald patches are not normal.

Dawn Ferara, DVM I cannot recommend a dose of medication for your dog. I would contact the prescribing vet to find out their recommendation.
I would recommend a thunder shirt to see if that helps instead of medication.

Leah Marie Looks exactly like my dogs back right now, and we have a bad case of the fleas. I am calling an exterminator tomorrow, I would recommend doing the same and getting her treated with Front line and a flea collar

Anonymous I’m sorry, Charlie, but the picture didn’t upload. If your mouse has any sudden physical or behavioral changes, he should be seen by your vet.

Anonymous No. Not at all. Please get your turtle to the vet.

Yeganeh Kheradmand I can’t…I’m on a vacation in a foreign country
-
Anonymous Then whomever is caring for your turtle needs to get it to the vet.
-
Yeganeh Kheradmand no one cares can u suggest any medicine ? for one week?
-
Anonymous Honestly, I’ve never encountered it before, but I would imagine – assuming this is an aquatic turtle – that it’s due to infection from bad water.
-
Yeganeh Kheradmand what!!! I change it every morning…
-
Anonymous Is this an aquatic turtle or is this a land turtle? Aquatic turtles live in the water.
-
Yeganeh Kheradmand no it’s a European pond turtle I bought one o those tanks which have two parts so it goes to water when ever it wants
-
Anonymous And you’re changing the water daily? Hmm. Are you treating the water to ensure it’s safe?
-
Yeganeh Kheradmand yes
-
Anonymous Well, my guess still goes to infection. Unfortunately this *may* require prescribed meds from your vet. As I am NOT a vet, I cannot tell you exactly what might be needed.

Yeganeh Kheradmand ok thank u
In case of Puking Foam , Her digestive system isn’t good. But blood is coming?!?? She got a stomach cancer. Keep calm and visit a vet as soon as possible if you want to save her.
