a wet washcloth is usually a good weapon against soap… 🙂
My cat’s left side of her left pupil is slightly dilated. I am a peace corps volunteer in morocco where I don’t have easy access to a vet. She’s been this way for about a month and a half now but there have been no behavioral or diet changes. Any advice on what I should do?
Hello, my name is Zachary and I am looking for help on an adult cat rectal prolase, anything you can help me with would be greatly appreciated.A few months ago my cat got very sick. He couldn’t drink water or eat. He urinated on himself where he laid. I believe he had perhaps got into a neighbor houses rat poison or maybe antifreeze. After a few days of him being near death, it seemed as though he had came back to himself. He still wouldn’t eat hard food but he drank liquids so I gave him kitten formula because that’s what was available at my local stores. He gained his weight back but there was one persistent problem. He used the litter box constantly. Mostly urinating and he would go back to back several times. And now the rectal prolapse. I understand the treatment for the prolapse but how do I solve the cause of the problem? Is there a certain price the treatment will cost that I should expect? And is there any financial assistance that I can look in to? I know you are in a different state “Im in KY” but maybe something national? Thank you for reading all of this, I really need to know what to expect before I move forward with the issue. Also I found out about you through your youtube channel, keep up the excellent work, Krista.

I was giving Bones a bath, and a cat was in the bathroom too. When I was done bathing him, he wanted the cat, so he put his paws on the washing machine and that’s why he has it on his paw. He’s outside right now on a tether. I figure it would rub off by walking on the ground…
Hi so yesterday I took my male 2 1/2 year old cat to the vet he got the Leukemia 1 and the FVRCP 1 and now he wont put weight in one of the arms…

David Nightingale Ok thankyou Laura
My cat tested positive for the toxin that is produced by clostridium perfringens. He has had diarrhea now for what seems like forever. He recently was treated with clindamycin for a staph infection in his urinary tract. While on this medicine it cleared up his diarrhea.. For about two months, then it started again. This is when I got a diarrhea panel done and it tested positive for the toxins.
We first tried metronidazole.. No success.
Right now he is on tylan powder and it’s been about a week. He is no longer going on the floor like usual, but I did notice little puddles of diarrhea In the litter boxes. I don’t believe it is any of my other cats because they never have had issues with diarrhea. Well tonight he threw up multiple times. It was mostly his cat food. And colored like his food. I waited about an hour and fed him a little more food which he kept down.
I did not give him his medicine tonight. I am going to call my vet in the morning.
The next step would be for him to go on clindamycin again. This was my vets last choice and she said she really didn’t want him to go on it again. Because it is not the safest medication for cats.
After this clears up he will be going on probiotics and a fiber supplement such as Metamucil.
I’m just really nervous about him being on clindamycin again. Have you seen this problem happen in cats before? Why is he not responding to any medication? Are there any other options? Ugh.
Thank you.

dakoda peterson I’m going to give you the best advice I can give. I have not experienced this personally but I’ve read a little about it.
1. Get an opinion from multiple vets not just one. Some veterinarians have more training in that area than others and some have better meds.
2. Start feeding your cat chicken baby food with rice it will be better for his intestines and less painful.
3.once you found a vet or you decide to stay with what ever vet ask them to retest for parasites. Sounds like he could have possible hookworms even though it’s uncommon he may have it on top of the toxin.
4. Get pedilite or something to help boost your cats electrolytes this is important because with that much diareah he could loose too much fluids.
5. Write down everything you cat does and what time so your vet knows what is going on. Include pee time, color and look of diareah, color of gums, his activity, his pain level, his playfulness. Everything he does while you are there.
And I can’t stress enough call multiple vets and explain what is happening and what is not working okay? Blessed be honey keep us updated.
