My cat has hematoma is his ear. I don’t have hundreds of dollars to pay a vet. Are there any alternatives?
Hi, I need some tips on my situation with my bunny so it would be great if you wouldn’t mind helping me out. My bunny is an adult medium male Brown HollandLop, I had had him since he was very little. I decided to have him free ranged around my garden both day and night because he would be very aggressive and stressed out if I caged him even though his cage is very big ( 3 meters long, 2 meters tall and 2 meters wide). I have never seen any other predators except stray cats, I wouldn’t worry about the cats that much because my rabbits are great friends with my dog and he would scare away the cats and at night my bunny would choose to go sleep in my garage which is right next to one of my families room so if anything bad happens we would hear it. I don’t know if this is safe but he seems very happy to be free ranged and have this cage open so he can go in for pellets and veggies. Please give me your opinion on what I should do with my situation.
your area is completely without birds of prey? that’s surprising. and you can’t count on predators behaving around prey. your dog is also a predator. he may be trained to leave the rabbit alone, but that doesn’t mean you should leave them together unsupervised.
is your rabbit not used to being handled? are you rough when putting him in the cage?
My rabbit is totally used to being handled but after I have him run around during the day he would have a really hard time going back in. And I live in Thailand so there are no foxes etc. My dog isn’t really a concern to me because he have been with my rabbit since they are very little but I do supervise my dog while he is outside with the bunny. I rabbit is very bonded to me so if I go outside to would come to me.
I let my rabbits run around the yard but only when I can supervise them. Your rabbit might end up wandering too far or a predator could find him, even though he doesn’t want to go in the cage, it’s whats best for his safety. How big is your cage?

My cat is getting neutered tomorrow morning. Today I gave him a flea bath. I scheduled the appointment today and just received an email from the vet saying not to give him a bath or flea medicine two days before neutering. Will he be okay?

My cat has a large knot in her tail closes to her body and there is no markings or sores or bugs on her tail what could be causing this?
I found an Island Glass lizard in my house after our cat brought him in, I took him in and I have him in a box, he wasn’t moving around but he is alive. I think his back may be broken, his head can move but the rest of his body can’t. Is there any hope for his survival? He ate a grasshopper after I took it’s own legs off and put it right in front of him, so he is still eating.
Hi Annie,
Also, please take the lizard to a rehab or rescue for reptiles so that it can get the proper care for it’s injury and appropriate diet/care.
Good luck!

Both of my cats have been experiencing diarrhea. The older one has yellow diarrhea and the kitten has trouble getting to the bathroom on time. I’m not sure if it’s because of the food or because they are in contact with other outside cats.
They are also still very active and show no signs of being sick. I feed and water them when ever I see that there bowl is running low
are your cats outside cats?
My cats were strays so they used to be outside. I just rescued my kitten recently so my cat might have gotten something from him. I don’t think I’ll be able to afford a vet because I don’t have a job. But I’ll try to feed them healthier cat food and if that doesn’t help all I can do is try to find them a home that can provide for them.
I have a three week old kitten who hasn’t had a bowel movement since Wednesday. My friend told me to give him a dewormer since he was an outside cat and it will induce a bowel movement. Is it safe for him? Are there any alternative ways?
He’s active and eating two tablespoons every three hours. He just learned how to run and he tries to chase our adult cats.
He just had a bowel movement and it was super solid for a 3 week old. No one induced it. But he had a hard time it took two people to hold him.
A hematoma doesn’t necessarily have to cost hundreds of dollars … talk to your vet about payment options or care credit … or ask your vet if there are local animal welfare organizations that may be able to help.
There are no “home remedies” that I am aware of.
