Vomiting cat
I have two cat sisters and they get along pretty well. Cleo however has come across a few scrapes during her day. She's the more agressive cat and likes to scavenge for things. One time she broke her tooth, it was one of her prominent canines so we had to have it removed. They eat meow mix because they wont eat anything else. I say that and it's not true, Cleo will eat ANYTHING you put in front of her. In fact I think she eats compulsively. Mogs however will not eat anything but meow mix original, not even chicken or fish. Now that Cleo's lost the tooth she throws up. EVERY DAY. She throws up her food, she doesn't even chew it, she just swallows it whole. It's starting to get out of hand. She's also getting REALLY fat while mogs is getting skinnier. There isn't a way to isolate them and feed them separately in my house. Both of them have containment issues and will destroy things if they are closed in somewhere, like a room. I want them to be healthy and happy, but I think Cleo has a problem here. I wanted to ask online because taking them to the vet is an arduous task because they both poop, pee, pant, and wail the whole way there every time. They work themselves up so much, that can't be good for them. My husband thinks we should put her out of her misery and put her to sleep. What do you think we should do? |

Dog with problems walking
When I came home from work yesterday, Sparrow(6yo female neutered mix breed), who stays in my basement with access to the crawl space under the house, was having trouble going up the stairs. She seemed sick - hot nose & depressed. She has a knot midway up her tail about the size of a quarter. Her hindquarters are slightly swollen and tender. Her behind was dirty with dust, some fecal matter, and little black dots that looked like flea eggs (she doesn't have fleas - she's on med from the vet.) It seemed she had been dragging her bottom on the ground. My gut feeling is that she may have been bitten by a spider or god forbid a snake (in my basement?!!) but I'm also worried that she's hurt her back. She can still walk - even jump on the bed - but she is not moving correctly. She is still eating and drinking. She's not any worse this morning, but no better. She's not limping, but she acts stiff - is not moving her hind legs with ease, but I don't see where they look out of whack. For example, when she goes up steps, she just goes one step at a time, very slowly and carefully when she usually bounds & skips steps. It doesn't look like she's knuckling over, and her feet and legs look normal. Another thought after babying her this morning - she has had trouble in the past with her anal glands being blocked. Usually I try to massage & expel them when I bathe her. I haven't noticed her dragging her butt, which usually happens when her glands are filled and need expelling, but is it possible this could be the problem? Or constipation?
