She is 2 years old
I have a kitten that just recently started limping. It’s been going on since yesterday. He’s been shaking every now and then and his fur looks different like kind of scruffy. He also meows like he’s in Pain every so often. He just been sleeping all day too.

Update: My Cat Was Drooling Clear Liquid Then It Turned To Brown And Then Bleeding…
Update: My cat was drooling clear liquid then it turned to brown and then bleeding in approximately a week. Then she was rescued and taken to the Vet. She got treatment and was better with no vomiting, bleeding etc. but she was not eating. For day she passed loose stools. She was cured but then she ran away for a day. She was again rescued and fed milk and glucose water. her ears were warm at this time. She had three seizures followed by this.
She was taken tothe hospital and given an injection (Lori umm am not sure) after which she slept for like a day and then she was a little relaxed…she again had a seizure which was less severe after 27 hours…then treated… no injection for seizure this time no fever……… she became restless and wanted to be out of the basket…we released her…she started biting…had more seizures in the next 12 hours…at this point she wanted to eat and ate a little bit idk because of anger or hunger
we calmed her down and sent her to the hospital. all this happened over a period of 13 14 days…please tell me what this was…doctor tried to draw blood but it would not come out…no test could be done…is it RABIES?

I gave her a flea bath, did the frontline treatment and then cleaned the entire house with a flea powder that you vacuum up after. I still found some on her, what should I do next?

Dawn Ferara, DVM Frontline is not an immediate kill type of product. Is there any flea dirt (small black pieces of flea feces) on your dog? It is possible she picked up a couple of fleas when she went out to urinate/defecate. Also, the makers of Frontline suggest treating the animals (all animals in the house) for 3 consecutive months in order to eliminate a flea problem.
If you notice flea dirt on her then I would suggest contacting your vet about a product like trifexis, comfortis or nexgard.

Crystal Plumb Yes she does have the little black flakes! Can I give her another flea bath? I bought some spray to put on the furniture and floors again and will be doing that again.

Matthew Kelcourse Also – Frontline is now an OTC flea preventative that fleas are developing resistance to; so I am seeing a lot of patients with fleas and flea dirt that are using Frontline… just not very effective.

Kelly Furgason Just bumping this into the answer section….
from Dr. Magnifico, founder of Pawbly.com : Would love to talk to you all about this.. Krista@pawbly.com.
My 10 year old lab just started licking everything in sight and eating grass and whining non stop. Not how she acts at all. All she wants to do is eat grass
My cat has a wound on his tail. We don’t know where the wound came from, but it looks like a scratch, it’s not very big, and we suspect it came from a mean neighborhood cat.
However, it has a weird strand of something coming out of it that has me worried. It’s thin, about 2.5 inches / 6 cm long, roughly tan colored except in a few places where it’s dark and more red, and about halfway down its length it becomes very thin, kind of like a hair. It does seem to be affixed to his tail, though I’m not sure if it’s actually coming out of the wound.
Here’s an album with a few pictures of it: http://imgur.com/a/bTck4
Touching it is obviously uncomfortable for my cat. Occasionally he’ll lick it, and I’ve seen him chewing at it a few times as though he’s trying to get rid of it. Other than that, I see no change in his behavior. His tail still has its full range of movement.
What is this thing? Is it serious enough that we should take him to a vet?
Is there anything i can do to get him used to men? My neighbor put his hand down for him to snif,he snarled and barked! I love this dog,have had him 3 days! He will let me do anything! Please help!

Rein N PadgettHege It takes time for a new dog to get used to his new people and surroundings. They all do it at their own pace. I strongly urge you to consult a behavioral trainer so that you introduce him and socialize him the best way possible especially since he’s an older dog that can easily have a lot of baggage. Meanwhile, just love him, give him time to trust you. As your relationship grows and he sees you as his leader, protector and family he will be more likely to trust others and situations that he is placed in with you. All these wonderful things that we share with our pets take time and a lot of patience. I just adopted a 2.5 year old Great Dane, we love him dearly. He wasn’t socialized well, if at all, and he can be a lot to handle, he’s having to “learn” how to play in an acceptable manner with our other dogs and even with us just throwing a ball. Just remember that coming to your home, even with all your love, is a huge adjustment to him. It takes the average dog about 6 weeks to acclimate to their new surroundings and begin to feel calm and secure in their new home with their new people. Trainers with behavioral expertise can give you tons of advice, to-dos, not to-dos and offer you a world of information. I can promise you that a consultation with one will help you to understand things we never thought about with adopted dogs – you will learn so much and it will help you bond even faster. I can tell you that time will change things and that you can never have a more devoted dog than one who has been rescued. Wishing you much luck and love with your new baby.

13 Year Old Neutered Male
threw up fresh blood in a clear flem like fluid
13 year old neutered male
It is perfectly round and symmetrical, appears to be under the skin (hair is intact), fairly firm, 2 inches in diameter and doesn’t seem to be bothering my dog when touched. He was also licking his nose very frequently when it showed up along with increased sneezing. I’m wondering, What this is caused by? Should he see a vet? Could this be caused by an allergy?
She has been really itchy lately and when I was bathing her with oatmeal bath i noticed this lump on her tail. Any idea what it is?
i would absolutely take your kitten to the vet – pain is an indicator that something is wrong! your vet should be able to tell you why your kitten is in pain.
