Cat acting out of sortsMy cat (1yo Siamese cross female neutered) has been acting really strange lately. She wont hardly eat anything but appears to want to, she hardly drinks anything only plays with the water. I only use ceramic bowls. She has completely stopped cleaning her fur and her gums are a pale color. She also has been licking her lips alot. Please help me know what this could be and if i should see a vet. | |
Cat with enlarged intestinal lymph nodesMy sweet, beloved cat, Sebastian, just had surgery yesterday to remove a partial blockage in his intestine. Once in, the vet found thickening of the intestinal wall and several enlarged lymph nodes. One was 3 inches! She took biopsies of both and sent them out to a pathologist. I won't get results until next week. My questions is...is there a chance this could be anything but lymphoma? I have done alot of reading on the web about lymphoma and inflammatory bowel disease. AFter reading, I'm convinced his tests will come back positive for lymphoma. He has always been vaccinated for Feline Leukemia and has never tested positive. He is primary an indoor cat, only allowed outside for short periods when we are home. He hunts but doesn't eat his kill. He has always had occasional bouts with vomiting. He will vomit undigested food right after eating. Every summer, he usually goes through a period of daily vomiting. I will bring him to the vet and she will give him a dewormer, although she has never found worms in his feces, which seems to stop the daily vomiting. HE seems to have always been uncomfortable when the vet pushes in the intestinal area. He had an enema as a kitten because she thought this was due to constipation. These symptoms lead me to think inflammatory bowel disease, but nothing I have read indicates there would be enlarged lymph nodes, nor has he ever had diarrhea. There have been no changes in his demeanor. This trip to the vet was initiated after 4 consecutive days of vomiting. She gave him the usual dewormer shot and a shot to stop the vomiting. It didn't help. After taking x-rays, she found an elarged area of his intestine and recommended exploratory surgery to relieve the blockage. We are so depressed and fear the worst. | |
Cat sucking behaviorI have a 5 month old Kitten (domestic short hair, neutered) that ever since she was neutered at age 12 weeks she sucks one of her nipples. I can't get her to stop. Now I just got a 12 week old kitten and she is now wanting to suck the 5 month old kitten's nipple too. Why are they doing this and how can I get them to stop? | |
stray cat with swollen eyeI think the cat (stray on my street) was in a fight a week or so ago...His one eye has been watering & its red...the white part at the corner of eye is pink & the eye itself looks funny. The outer area of the eye is swollen. The cat let me use a cottonball soaked in water warm on the eye once but I have not been able to get near enough to try it again. What else can I do to help the cat or will it get better on its own? The cat is kinda crossed-eye so I am concerned that the good eye is damaged....he acts like he can't see real well. Thanks for any help that you can give me!! I don't think I can get it in a carrier to take it to the vet. I have tried to put some antibotics in the food but I am not sure if he ate it. | |

Dog digging carpet
My dog (5yo female neutered Blue Heeler mix) is outside during the day and inside at night. I've only had her for 6 months- I got her from a friend. During the past month, she started scratching at our carpets ruining them. She only scratches them around the walls never in middle of the floor. Why is she doing this and what can I do to get her to stop?
