Not exactly yay but doesn’t seem all nay either … ? No pus and no suspicious smell other than faint sweet smell. Stitching slowly keeps coming apart from the way it puckers when the joint bent (which unfortunately is most of the time). Pink areas I assume good = alive? What about the white and dark areas?
So, we have a kitten about 4 to 5 months. We noticed that for the past couple of weeks, his stomach grows bigger and bigger. Now, his rear legs and tail are paralyzed. So, he walks with his two front legs and drags his rear legs. Also, he would always eat whenever we give him food. However, we noticed that he haven’t urinated or discharged. We would put him inside a box, so he could sleep. As he tries to sleep, his hands would shake every now and then. We also noticed that his heart beats fast sometimes, even when he’s sleepin’. And, he doesn’t have any voice when he speaks. I don’t know if it’s odd that he kneads and purrs, especially with his condition. So, today’s his 3rd day and nothing have changed. I tried lookin’ for any reasons behind his condition or what it’s called, but I couldn’t find any. We couldn’t bring him to the vet, especially because of the weather right now here. And, my Dad thinks it’s expensive and it would cost a lot of money if we bring him to the vet.
Hello Alya
This cat needs a Vet URGENTLY right now!!! hes in critical condition and you cannot leave him suffering like this.
His stomach is probably full of urine if he hasn’t urinated….leave him much longer and his bladder will burst.
Take him to a Vet now…emergency.I’m sorry but you should not have pets if you are not prepared to give them the correct care. Its cruel to leave your cat in pain. VET NOW.
Alright, thank you so much.
Well, his stomach becomes a bit smaller now. And, he had urinated and defecated yesterday. Also, we saw his legs moved one time.
And you still haven’t taken him to the Vet?? Whether hes urinated or not this kitten is in pain! Hes paralysed!! How long are you going to leave him suffering? I’m sorry but when you get a pet it’s your responsibility to mske sure its in good health and has medical care when needed. Please! Take this cat to the Vet!!!!
I need advice on puppy with parvovirus .. im at witts end. please someone help. I need advice badly
have you taken this puppy to the vet? that’s the best way to ensure your puppy gets the care it needs.
6my local vet wants 250$ deposit not including treatment my parents won’t pay this which leaves me to figure it out on my own
I don’t know anything about veterinary medicine so I won’t pretend to . But I gave the titan the best care I could around the clock care every hour on the hour with fluids and medicine to combat the symptoms . He fought it very hard for 4 days but I guess I just didn’t do enough .. I do blame myself because I couldn’t get him the vet care . I hate that he passed in any kind of pain but I did make sure he didn’t go alone I held him rocked him sung to him . I didn’t have him long . He wasn’t even my dog but I loved him like family and I cared for him as much as I could . I regret all of the things that happened but I don’t regret loving him.
My rabbit has been acting very strange today, isn’t eating, drinking or pooing? What do I do?
Thanks for your help
How do I stop my cat peeing and pooping outside the box?! I have tried everything! enzyme cleaners, scents he doesnt like, different litters, moving boxes, no medical conditions! He used to use the littler when younger but now wont! help!!!
are you absolutely sure this isn’t a medical issue? when was his last checkup at the vet?
In my experience, that usually means one of two things. I have a very ‘neat’ cat. If the litter isn’t totally clean, he would register his complaint by pooping just in front of the box as if to say, “I refuse to use an unclean box!”
I have also seen cats who are in multiple cat, or cat and dog homes to feel ‘trapped’ in their box and very nervous about using it. In that situation, I moved the box to a more open area, and made sure the cat had an area where the dogs couldn’t reach him. Once he had an area all his own, and he felt safe using the box, the problem disappeared, but as you know, each cat has their own temperament, and their own personality, so your cat could simply be driving you nuts because it wants to!
Cats however, are very clean animals, and once given a ‘better choice,’ will often take that choice, good luck!
He was at the vet not more than a month ago, we had him desexed at that time and he had a full check up! He’s been doing it since before the vet as well. Asking the vet, they only suggested the things we’ve tried. Moving the boxes, Urine off, different litters, different placement :C he doesnt like minty smells or lavender so we put that scent on the places he likes to go.
No UTI’s or any unusual stresses for him…
Hes such a lovely cat otherwise, very loving and playful
Thanks for all the help guys!
Ill keep trying :c I hope its nothing serious. We’ve scheduled another vet appointment and Ill try changing his diet! I just assumed the food was good because he loved it!
Ill let everyone know how it goes 🙂
My cat was bitten by something about two days ago right under his chin now its swollen real bad an has a tiny hole in it he was sneezing an hacking a lot but its calm down now.
Hello Branden, your cat needs to be seen by a Vet. Whatever the bite was its now swollen and no doubt infected.
He needs Veterinary treatment to get the swelling and infection under control and heal.
I hope he recovers soon.
Thank you, I was really hoping for some home remedies though. My family and I just moved to a different state and we dont really have the funds to take him to see a vet right now unfortunately.
There really are no home remedies unfortunately. He probably needs antibiotics only available from a Vet.
my dog was perscribed 20mg omeprazole. Is it ok for him to take forever
Likely if your vet prescribed it he/she has considered the side effects of long term use and decided that your dog needs the medication. This is really something u should talk to your vet about.
It doesnt seem to hurt her and she is still eating though yesterday shes not eating as much.She has always eaten anything she can like bugs,spiders,pine cones you name it she will eat it.We cannot afford a vet please help.We have been giving her milk and that helps the swelling but not the lump
today she was running through bush chasing squirrels
when we called her she came running towards us “lop-sided”; looked as if hind left leg wasn’t working
it was not any kind of limp I’ve seen before; the leg didn’t look being favored but looked not working, not providing the right support properly
Cookie sat down while we were going to try to see what’s going on
meanwhile she heard another squirrel and dashed off back into the bush again
looked like the leg wasn’t quite right but she didn’t seem to care
we then fetched and leashed her and after short time everything seemed fine until the time of this writing 4:19PM
often problems resurface after some rest so I’m concerned what she’s going to look like after longer rest; so far she seems perfectly normal again, though
Seeing a vet tomorrow but hoping for some comforting thoughts on what the heck it could have been … ?
She seems perfectly normal and herself now. Moving and acting normally, looking normal and happy. Lasted just a few minutes. Didn’t seem upset about it this time, just came up close and sat down. I was way more upset about it that she was.
cyber space … ? I see the icon where it should be but it’s gone, huh?
