Hope Dr. Magnifico Is Reading This Message Soon As I Do Not Know What To…
Hope Dr. Magnifico is reading this message soon as I do not know what to do. I noticed one of my cats, Dexter, attempting to pee on a cardboard box outside of the litter box. When I approached him he moved only to go to another area and attempt to pee. Having male cats blocked before or with UTI, I knew to keep watch on him. He was laying down and let me brush him for a while and acting okay. I then took a moist tissue and just patted his pee/butt area and a dried piece of poo came off. I thought yeah… that may be the problem because he immediately went to the litter box. After about 5 minutes he left the box without going to the bathroom. Should I take him to the emergency room or could it wait until you open in the morning. If you think I need to take him, which one do you recommend the most. Thanks Sandy Brown

Recently, My Cat Has Had Possible Seizures. This Only Happens When He Gets In A…
Recently, my cat has had possible seizures. This only happens when he gets in a grooming position where he twists his upper body around to be able to lick his back. He then stiffens up, and falls over. A couple of days ago, he urinated on my bed while he was having a possible seizure. Are these seizures or a nerve getting pinched?

Anonymous first of all, i’m so sorry for your losses and all of your upheaval. that’s a lot to deal with all at once. i hope you’re doing okay.
secondly, he may just need reacclimation to your home. please try to be patient with him. my male cat was this way when i brought him home from the shelter…he was absolutely NUTS for a while. the only thing that really helped was increased interactive playtime, so i bought a wand toy and went “fishing.” that seemed to help.

My cat got out for 24 hours. When he returned he had a small black dot on his inner ear. That area swelled over the past 2 days. It seems the same or slightly less than yesterday. Vet tonight or tomorrow?

Anonymous depending on what worries you, he may be fine. vaccines *may* remain in the system longer than their recommended length of time. i’d get him to the vet to make sure he’s OK and maybe discuss titers with your vet.

Kelly Furgason A vet check would be good..Even indoor cats should be vaccinated for minimum rabies vaccine–for cases like this when “indoor” cats escape, it is important to have rabies up to date.
Your vet can pull blood and get titers checked to see if they are ok w/vaccines if you don’t want to re vaccinate
good luck!!

Kristen Vance Unfortunately it is very hard to diagnose what could be wrong with him over the Internet with those signs. How long has this been going on? Could he have eaten anything he shouldn’t have? Will he drink tuna juice or anything? I am not sure how close you are to one of the veterinary schools but they sometimes have student clinics that are cheaper or may be able to offer you a payment plan etc

brie griffin he so far hasnt eaten except for a few days, about 4 or 5 except one bite of canned food. i dont really know if he ate anything thats bad for him. he will drink water, thankfully. he seems to be losing a lot of weight. my mom said it could be a blockage would he get fat if it were a blockage?

Ashley Carlson You could also try calling local shelters or rescues to see if any of them may be able to help you. Some shelters have crisis intervention programs or low-cost clinics. Some may take him and make him better if you agree to surrender him. I know that might be hard, but it could save his life. Check out http://www.nokillnetwork.org/ for possible options in your area.

Kristen Vance He definitely needs veterinary care. There are options such as carecredit which you can apply for online to use at local animal hospitals for as Ashley said maybe a rescue or shelter can help you.
It’s not common to find a poisoned mouse, whether it lives inside or outside. Your cat is most likely meowing because everything is new to him, and he’s probably anxious, getting used to everything. Don’t worry, there’s not a serious problem. If your cat had caught and eaten a poisoned mouse, your cat would probably not meow at all and wouldn’t eat or drink. It’s most likely because he’s in a whole new place around new people and new smells, and is probably just anxious. He will get used to it and calm down eventually. 🙂
Okay good thank you. So he seen a mouse and was throwing it around but I also think he killed it so I took it and threw it out. I’m just scared my cat will get sick from biting or messing with the mouse. Do you have any suggestions?

Just keep a close eye on him, make sure he doesn’t start acting any differently (e.g. sudden loss of appetite, lethargy, vomit, etc.) and if you notice anything odd or unusual or that something’s changed, you should see a vet.
