Betty Has Always Been What I Call A Scaredy Cat But Hasn’t Always Sprayed It…

Betty has always been what I call a scaredy cat but hasn’t always sprayed it seems to be after we moved house. I don’t think it was the house move but around me are a lot of cats and this makes her nervous she is constantly sat at a window.
She loves the baby and I feel like she is spraying as a way of claiming and protecting the home but obviously it’s not good for the baby! I’ve wondered if she has behavioural issues but am worried to take her to the vet with high costs if that’s not the issue. I’ve tried plug ins also. Basically I need advice. O find out what a vet would do to determine if she needs treatment and what kind of treatment it would be! Thank you

    Thank you! She uses her litter tray though still so I have no problem in that! It’s only when I seem to have my window open she does it, I’m presuming due to all the other cats in the area! I love her but with him starting to move around I need to get it sorted for both of their sakes! X

    Yeah I think we need too, the bruising has only just come up recently, he’s panting really heavily, not being able to go to the toilet not wanting to eat or drink, we have to though.. We give him tablets from the vets but their not helping him. He hasn’t had sleep for ages, us thinking it’s his hips, but not this bruising has come up

My Cat Is Really Really Possessive Over This One Plant In The Yard. Is…

My cat is really really possessive over this one plant in the yard. Is there any way to get him to play nice with the other cats around this thing?

    Other than removing the plant or keeping the cats indoors, I cannot think of anything that would make him friendlier.

  2. B Everitt

    Wire covers would work to protect the plant

  3. Julie Brader

    Does the plant live in a pot? You could try adding scent around it that would make the cat want to avoid it.

    He was vaccinated a clue of weeks ago and he doesn’t have any kind of parasites.

  2. Chelsea Margolis

    Would he still have a bump a couple of weeks after getting vaccinated?

    added note he went swimming in the creek yesterday and now his foam looks like algae from the creek in it…..could he have creek water in his lungs? When he lays still no coughing…..when he is active….coughing and retching.

This Was One Month Ago. Dog Got Put Back On Pain Meds. He Is 10…

This was one month ago. Dog got put back on pain meds. He is 10. Forgot to ask if that bone chip was something to consider removing. Vet never discussed the option. Just need to know bc the healing is taking time. Every other day pain med admin. He seems to reinjure or as soon as meds roll off he’s back to pain. But with the meds he acts fine. Is it something else?

    I agree with Krista, this is a question for your vet.  If you think it’s taking too long to heal I would recommend seeing a orthopedic surgeon and getting their opinion.

    Good Luck

Hello,
I Changed My Bettas Water Two Days Ago And This Morning He Would Not…

Hello,
I changed my bettas water two days ago and this morning he would not dance for me and I noticed his gills have a red tinge to them. He is active other than not dancing for breakfast and doesn’t seem to have difficulty breathing. All my reaserch come up with Ammonia burns but that doesn’t make sense with it happening after a water change instead of in dirty water.

He lives in a 3 gallon bowl that I do a 75%water change on weekly. I put aquarium salt in the water as well as conditioner and let it sit in the same room as his bowl for 2 days. I am very worried about him and need to know how to help him as I am leaving today for the weekend and have to give my mom instructions on how to medicate and care for him.

Please Help!

    Fancy rats are prone to tumors, and I’d be willing to bet that’s what this is.  Please get her to the vet TODAY about this.

    Your dog is allergic to it. Use a different topical treatment. There are several others you can try.

  2. Brittany Knox

    Is it that she’s allergic or could she just possibly have sensitive skin that causes it to dry her out

  3. Brittany Knox

    Ok thank you SO MUCH you have been VERY HELPFUL I greatly appreciate it

    I really don’t have an answer it could be an infection (bacterial, fungal or viral), cancer or a traumatic injury (like a burn).  My advice is to take him to the vet for an accurate diagnosis.  If he stops eating or seems painful it is more important to get him to a vet quicker, however, if he is still eating and not painful he doesn’t need to see the vet as fast.
