Cat with hyperthyroidismMy 15yo DSH female neutered cat has episodes of vomiting that last 1/2 a day. She will typically vomit 2-5 times in that time span, sometimes the food is digested, other times it's not. This happens about once a week but not every week. She had hyperthyroidism last year but had radioactive idodine treatment. Her last T4 check was normal. She has no other symptoms and is eating and drinking normally. Should I be concerned? | |
Using Frontline Topspot for dogs on a catMy cat Wes (4.5 yo male neutered Tabby cat) weights 24 lbs . I have an application of Frontline Topspot for dogs 23-44 lbs. Can I use this application on my cat? He's in the weight range, but obviously not a dog. I just don't want the frontline to go to waste if I could use it. | |
Cat sneezing and eyes and nose runningMy 18mo male neutered Siamese cat has been sneezing, his eyes and nose are watery and runny. It's Sunday today and my vet is closed - I can't bring him in till Monday. What can I do now? | |
Recently visited a relative of mine who daily feeds 25 to 50 stray,wild, and border line tame cats.Many I saw have eye infections,and other problems I could recognize visually,possible skin disorders,hair missing from tails and hind quarters.Most likely many of them also have parasites.They are all congregated together for a daily food sourse.Was wondering if there was a general antibiotic to be given orally to a feline population with diverse illnesses and ages of both genders.I realize this is an odd situation,would like to help this person out as much as possible,any advice you can give would be very much appreciated!!Thank you. | |
Cat with hyperesthesia syndrome - twitch cat diseaseMy Bengal cat (2yo male neutered) is thought to have feline hyperesthesia syndrome. He is constantly rubbing up against thinks, licking his tail and lower back, darting off wildly and has a very sensitive lower back area. He rolls aroung on his back alot as though it is itching. When he was castrated at the age of about 9 months, he became terribly sick, he was taken to the vets and eventually found to have an abnormal swelling that had been caused by the operation. He was given anti-inflammatories and antibiotics and this seemed to clear but was left with a bald patch in this area (top of spine). He has displayed this behaviour for some time, hard to say exactly when it started. Could you please explain what this illness is and is it life threatening. I understand that medication can be given. Is the he in any pain? | |
Cat with hair loss and dandruffOne of my cats (7yo female neutered DSH), has what looks like a dry skin problem. She is completely black except for her stomach and bottom of her paws which are white. 3 mos ago she lost some fur on her forepaws which the local vet diagnosed as a flea allergy. She had one dose of frontline. I saw that the frontline was an insecticide which I felt uncomfotable giving them. I started her on a B-vitamin for cats which was to create a flea repellant. (It is called Flea-Tabs) The B-vitamin has actually made her fur better. However I have noticed one thing. Just after she had the frontline, I started seeing very minute white flake speckles in her fur, not alot but when I brush her more come out. I thought these were flea eggs, but she doesn't seem bothered by them and is not scratching. They look like dandruff. My question is what could these be? |

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
