Vomiting kittenMy 4 week old kitten has been spitting up on and off throughout the day. It is very sour smelling. She coughs loudly as she spits up. She is not moving around very much, but seems to be alert. The other two kittens in the litter are fine. She has not been anywhere that she could have eaten something odd. She has nursed several times today. I do not know if she has had a bowel movement. | |
Male cat and perineal urethrostomyMy 2yo male cat had perineal urethrostomy surgery in late June for FLUTD. Since then, the urethral opening has started to scar shut 4 or 5 times, reducing his ability to urinate to a trickle. When I notice the symptoms (small puddles, frequent trips to the litter box, licking), I take him to the vet right away. The vet inserts a catheter and stretches the opening and the cat is good again for another 10-14 days. The vet is talking now about sewing a catheter in place and letting him scar down around the catheter. Can you tell me if this is a frequent problem and what the treatment option are? | |
Feeding cats tunaI have been feeding my cats regular tuna packed in water for about a year. They each get half a can a day. I also give them premium dry food which feed freely for them to nibble on. I recently found out that cats that are fed tuna can have health problems. My cats are thriving. The reason I started feeding tuna is because one of my cats had extremely smelly bowel movements and frequent diarrhea. Ever since I have been feeding in this way they have not had the smelly fecal problems and no diarrhea. Should I stop feeding them tuna? | |
Stones in cat bladderMy 3 year old male cat just came from the vet with a urinary tract and kidney infection. Do I have to put him on the perscribe very expensive Waltham SO or is there something else I could use that is less expesive to keep the crystals at bay, and if so how long and what else do I need to do from it coming back PLEASE help. | |
Cat licking sores on bodyI've noticed that my cat has gotten a sore on her body and her leg, presumably from licking herself in those spots repeatedly. What is the usual cause of that behavior and how can we resolve it? | |
Cat urinating problemsWe've had our cat since she was a kitten, and she always used the litter properly. Recently in the past year she has been urinating all over the house. We ended up replacing a carpeted room with hard wood floors, and that stopped the problem for a few months, but now she is back at it again in another room, and spot areas of the house. She has been to a vet, and they did an analysis of her urine. They say she is fine. How can we stop this? We clean up her spots with deodorizing spray, but she continues this. She always deficates in the box. We do have another cat, so we have 2 litter boxes. We've tried everything the vets have said, but nothing works. New box without a cover, unscented litter, tin foil in spots. Should we lock her in the bathroom with the litter for awhile? Should we get her on medication? I've read up on this, so I know the common diagnosis, like a urinary tract infection. This isn't physcial, it's all in her head? My parents are about to give her up in a week, but then she'll probably continue this and someone will put her asleep. Can you please suggest something? Thank you |

Dog with fleas
Last night my 7yo female neutered maltese was scatching a little & I noticed that the day before she did a little too. I rolled her over to look through her and found a flea...then 2 more a little bit later. I immediately ran to the store and bought Sergeants flea control that you put on their back between the shoulder blades & put that on her immediatedly. I washed all of her bedding & have vaccumed the house at least 3 times since. We have a huge 2 level house and the dog is 99.9% of the time on our main level in our living room & dining room. I found only 2 today...and that was early this morning...I have not seen any since...but am scared to death of how many fleas are in our house that I cannot see. I am afraid they are crawling everywhere & don't know where to start. The dog sometimes goes upstairs in our bedrooms.....I am afraid these pests could be in closets & etc....any advice would be greatly appreciated! - Click
