Cat Chat Feline Forum

Hi, my dads cat has Pseudamonus middle ear infection with rods. She has had antibiotics both topically and oral. Ears are cleaned twice daily with flamazine. Left ear has started to bleed. She us booked for an x-ray next week to see extent of infection, possible op on the cards been quoted approx 2k...

Hi, one of mine is a drooler, no problems with her mouth or teeth, she just drools, more obvious when shes kneading/paddling x

Hi, we live in a multi cat household, 5 in total. All get on bar 1. She is an 8 yr old black cat, we have had her since she was approx 6 weeks old, she was found under a bush down a country lane, cold hungry and crying, she was also very poorly with cat flu. Up until recently she was going out and l...

You go chasing over rainbow bridge now Cleo xx
So sorry for your loss, 4 of mine died within a 2 year period, all were aged 17/18 and had been with me through thick and thin x

Hello does anyone have any experience with cat trackers? One of my cats, Blue, a large ragdoll, went missing for 3 days. After franticly searching for him via posters, door knocking and the internet, he came trotting him not a care in the world! I know peoples opinions differ whether raggies should ...

I am so pleased for Summer!!! Rambos wound is 90% smaller than it originally was, it doesn't bother him at all, it never really did. Due to the position of the wound it won't scab over, to hot and sweaty under his armpits, its going to be a long road but it is granulating slowly xx he's a bigggg sof...

Hi, my old girl used to do the same, she was 18 when she left us. I could swear blind she was suffering from dementia, she used to sit on the coals in the fireplace, she wasvjet black just like the fire!!! Never had a mishap with her though thank god, we always checked the fire prior to switching it...

Rambo is healing as you can see by his little face he's soooo chilled x

Would she drink water from the bath? Another one of mine (I have 5 altogether) likes to jump in the bath, I just put the plug in and run some cold water so a little puddle forms for her to drink from :-) would she drink cat milk? If she is fed wet food I wouldn't worry to much. She might not like ta...

Hello, have you checked for fleas at all? One on mine has flea allgeric dermatitis, if I don't manage to flea on time and he picks the pesky devils up they drive him mad and he's forever licking/scratching, thankfully these episodes are few n far between. As for drinking, another one on mine will on...

Rambo sends hugs back to you n yours, hope Summer is doing well x

Hi the above link might be of interest to you, hope it helps x

Hello, I'm sorry but I do not have any experience with this, I'm sure somebody will come along and try to help/advise. X

Update on Rambo........been back to the vets today all going well and there are signs of the site granulating. We've been given the option of going to a specialist in soft tissue and reconstructive surgery, the cost could be in excess of £3k with no guarantees. I think we are going to see how the wo...

Hi, Rambo has been well, still refusing the metrondiazole no matter what I put it in but will take the antirobe no problem - will continue trying. He hates having the wound flushed but its a job that has to be done, he gets lots of cuddles and a treat or two after :D Back to the vets on Friday for a...

Super awkward place I'm afraid, the wound is actually 80% smaller than the original so we are moving forward. What do you think to introducing the manuka? Id be interest in your opinion on that. When I used to use it I put it on a swab, tucked that under his arm and put a baby vest on him, needless ...

[quote="Crewell but after several 'false starts' it did finally heal over properly and the cat is fine (and in her new home) now. Hopefully your boy's will do too.[/quote]
Hi, was that with surgery or with manuka honey?

Rambos remaining wound

I've tried to upload a picture unfortunately its too large the milk trick worked with one lot of AB's but not the dreaded metrondizaole!! Going to try the pill pockets, but he's a clever boy and hard to trick!!

Hi Sue, The would is currently very clean, very pink/red looking, i think scar tissue is starting to form at the very bottom edge, when I go home I will try and take a picture so u can see. when i clean wound there are tiny droplets of blood on the swab, more pin prick size. The first op was success...

Hi, the cod liver oil - the vet had said she had seen some excellent results with this as this oil does have healing properties - not wholly convinced but at this stage will give the benefit of doubt. The manuka honey was medical grade, the old vet advised to buy from health store (to save on costs)...

Hi, I have an adopted stray that came to me with an horrific collar wound. To cut a long story short, after several months of treating with manuka honey as advised by one veterinary practice I decided to try else where. I took him in, his wound looked like a raw chicken fillet , his tendon was showi...
