Cat Chat Feline Forum

Please calm down lol I did say I appreciate I cannot bring a puppy or kitten into the house, hence why I asked if there was any other animals that would not cause him stress.
Update haven't got anything yet but was offered to rehome tortoise!

So I have had my Garfield since he was 18m from Cats Protection, he's 15 now. In that time we have only had maybe 6 months a long time ago where he was the only pet, for the last 8 years I have had two rabbits which I sadly lost this weekend. I am really sad looking outside and not seeing anything i...

Hi All, Been years since I have posted and my boy Garfield is still going :) hes coming up to 13/14 had few hiccups with teeth and abcesses but touch wood nothing too major. The last year I have noticed when hes lying down he like tenses his back legs for a second or so then relaxes again, he went t...

Well, this was the same vet as last week so she did have something to compare it to, and good timing too as he came in last night with blood pouring out of his toe. We pinned him down and managed to cut some of the old nail away she reckons he really badly damaged it and I need to keep an eye on the...

Well, I turned up on Friday and my normal vet was on holiday and so the vet looking at his toe said she has nothing to compare it to so cant give an opinion and I stupidly paid for the consultation too :( I am cross with them and cross with myself! She said to wait till the antibiotics have been in ...

I've been soaking it, and it doesn't seem so angry and red, it almost looks just dirty.
Why did I make an appointment last thing on a Friday I grown a few more grey hairs

Out of interest if it was an infection how quickly would the redness go down. She sprayed with a anti bac spray and gave 2 weeks jab of a antibiotic on Wednesday last week.

No mark thank you for posting that I'm sorry your Kylie was taken so soon.
I am definitely keeping all options in my head open as I want to get my head around things if they do happen.
He's being more vocal and clingy atm but not off food so that's a good sign.

I suppose I need to prepare for the worst as it's just she's was saying an infection would make him unwell but be a quick healing process but a tumour won't make him unwell for a long time, and he certainly isn't unwell. Just after back up really has anyone been through similar and it has turned out...

Anyone ? I am really worried next Friday when he has his check up she's going to give me bad news.

Hi all its been a few years since I posted on here hope everyone is well. I was on holiday last week basically Garfield I thought had cut his nail and maybe got it infected, well after a trip to the vets to day they reckon it may be a tumour so he's on a week of antibiotics to see if it clears if no...

Can anyone recommend a flea spray for the house, I have been told RIP is a good one, I would rather put my mind at rest that I have it all covered than assume its just one tick

My friend who is way more experienced than me with ticks is coming round lunchtime to take it off, we are not going to attempt it. I came down this morning to a rug full of fur and he was scratching in the night, I had a frontline left so put that on him so will get some flea spray for the house I a...

Try stronghold the vets said, it's better than frontline they said hence the price difference. So now we have our first tick, does this mean he may have fleas too?
