cat with dry nose and swollen lip

I have 6 cats, all healthy. one of them (6mo DSH male neutered) has had a dry nose the entire time I've had him. He gets crusties in his nose, the amount has been decreasing signifigantly and we put plain chapstick on his nose twice a day. he drinks and eats, plays with the other cats, doesnt lose his balance, is friendly, does not appear to be in any pain at all, but his upper "lip" has begun to look swollen now, it just happened recently, and its not very red, just light pink and slighty darker pink, its only the upper "lip" on both sides. He does sneeze sometimes (usually right after he drinks as he gets water up his nose). Im just worried a bit about the swollen look as it just happened. is there anything I can do to get the swelling down?

kitten with diarrhea

My kitten (5mo female domestic short hair) keeps getting bad diarrhea and as she is long-haired, keeps soiling her fur. She has only recently been allowed outside and I think she may have been eating things she shouldn't. What should I do to stop the tummy trouble?

Cat having problems urinating

My cat (10yo male neutered Siamese) has been going to his litter box several times an hour throughout the day only to urinate a few drops. I am getting really worried about him as this is not his normal routine. He seems to be eating normal, he is however, overweight a little. We just got a puppy 2 weeks ago and he seems a little stressed. Can you please shed some light on why he is going to his litter box so much and only producing a few drops of urine each time?

Cat with sores around lips

About a week ago i noticed my cat(5 mo male neutered domestic short haired cat) had dry blood on his two paws. I wasnt sure were he got the blood from. Then i noticed he was bleeding from his nose. but not from inside his nose ,but from the part between the two holes and about the mouth. He allso has sores all around his lips. The worst ones are on the corners of his lips. The sores have allso been bleeding here and there. He also gets this gooey like stuff around his mouth after he eats. its like saliva but its thick. I wipe it off but later on its back again. His mouth area allso stinks. i know cats mouths are supposed to stink but this is a lot worse than how my other cat smells. Could you tell me what may be wrong with my little Spaze?

Mother cat ignoring kittens

My female cat (8yo DSH female) has just 4 days ago had two kittens, is it normal for her to leave them alone. At first she stayed with them .now she checks on them but will not nurse them. Do they just sleep the first week. she knows what to do..maybe I should just trust her instincts.

Cat weak and vomiting

My cat (6yo male neutered domestic short haired) lives indoors and outdoors. Recently it became very weak and cant walk much and is not eating for the last two days. It either through vomit or excretia gave out black stools or vomit, not sure whether it was vomit or excretia. It was seen eating mud, so my mom has kept it inside and is giving it electrolyte fluids through a small spoon. Its tough to hold his particular cat, we have 3 more and a dog, so my mom with help wrapped it with a towel to avoid it from scratching and struggling and the vet gave it a poison antidote injection. Earlier on it had a wound on the neck from a fight with the other cat, and we had treated it with antibiotics. It was limping before because it had jumped from the roof down. Right now its weak, hardly can walk lying on my mom's bed, while she is feeding it electrolyte fluids. My mom and dad live up in a small town atop the mountains of southern india where there are three vets and none of them are very good. This one vet we use is the best of the lot who actually cares a lot of the animals and wanted me to seek outside help so that he can act on it.

Vet question of the day

Add to 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? - Click here to read the answer
