Hello, My Name Is Zachary And I Am Looking For Help On An Adult Cat…

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.

She’s 9 Months. She Bites And Scratches Her Back Legs And Under Her Front Armpits…

She’s 9 months. She bites and scratches her back legs and under her front armpits. These places are now red raw and have no fur. Vet changed her food to hills allergy and skin care food and gave me a special shampoo to wash her twice a week but nothing seems to help. She’s also been treated for fleas. Please help as I’m worried about her.

    Did he do any lab work?  Skin scrapings?  Allergy testing?

    I have been working with my pets.  It’s not easy to treat them when they have skin problems. 
    If your pet is still scratching and etc.  get a second opinion,  Also be aware of the surroundings for example is there mold in the house; how often do you spray air fresheners in the air; when you mop the floors are you making sure to throughly rinse them so that the floors don’t have residue from the cleaners. 

    Rule of thumb what goes up must come down.  In other words anything you spray,mop,clean make sure the pets aren’t around because if they are they will be breathing,walking,or licking it. 

    People don’t realize these factors are very important to the health of their dog.

    TY so very much for responding so quickly. She had a mild stroke last summer and now she can’t control her tongue completely. Could she be inhaling too much air when drinking? She has an appointment tomorrow

    I don’t know if this is strangles, but it sounds like the right treatment for any number of things. Taking her to your vet is the best idea ever.

My Cat Tested Positive For The Toxin That Is Produced By Clostridium Perfringens. He Has…

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.

    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.
