He was diagnosed hyper back in January, had his follow up mid march and isn’t due for another Check up until next month. It was about march when I first noticed pulling and thought maybe it was the different food I had him on and switched him back.
I did take him to the emergency vet a few...
My cat started (a few months ago) pulling his fur when grooming. He isn't pulling to baldness, but he is pulling chunks out.
The vet said its most likely due to his hyperthyroidism. It started when he started his medication months ago. His skin isn't dry, no mites or anything. He's been on the...
They both ate full meals yesterday and there's firm poop in the box (never thought I'd be happy to see poop!).
They seem to be back to themselves. So odd it was both of them. Im wondering if it was stress from me being away for a few days or they got a virus (no idea how since they're indoors)...
I wound up calling my regular vet who promptly got back to me. Thankfully she had gotten his records from the emergency vet. She advised at least through the weekend on the stimulant
I honestly don't quite follow that calorie rule. I feel like its a different rule per brand/type of food.
I judge based on how much my cat eats and the weight. I use the brand's recommendation as a start, and take it from there. If they look skinny or is very active, I feed a little more. if...
My vet isn't calling me back.
I've been giving my cats Mirtazapine, the topical one that goes on the ear.
Been 3 days since they were on it and today's the first time they had a normal appetite.
Should I stop, or give it a few more days to ensure they continue to eat?
Still not eating as much, but picking at his food.
Took him again to the vet on Sunday because I didn't like that he wasn't improving and wanted further testing. He's had X-rays done, blood work- the only thing off was that his red blood cells was a little low. Nothing that would cause him to...
Ate a few bites of dinner last night but refused breakfast today. He's lethargic and depressed looking. I looked up the side effects of the anti-nausea and it's one of the side effects. I hope he perks up soon.
Started giving him the food stimulant on his ear too, hope that works as well
update:
The vet wasn't concerned with the tooth. He said the yellow is fine, the gum isn't inflamed or too irritated- typical for his age.
He felt nothing in his stomach, which was a relief.
He gave me some anti-nausea meds (probably from throwing up a massive hairball) and appetite simulants...
I’m investigating reasons why my cat isn’t eating. Vets are closed and I can’t afford emergency vet right now
does his tooth look bad? I will call the vet Monday and hope he eats something
Edited to add- I’m at the emergency vet with him now. I need a peace of mind and hate that he’s not...
From the time a cat ingest something he shouldn't, how long until it becomes a problem? 2 days? 3 days? I'm trying to get a better understanding of a timeline
