Cat Chat Feline Forum

My male rescue cat Brian got his eye scratched by neighbours cat about a week ago. I had been using hydrochlorus as a rinse as said safe for cats eyes until I saw the vet as was a bank holiday. Vet said scratch on eye and ulcer that was starting to heal. Eyelids were OK but eyeball a bit cloudy and ...

Sorry for late reply, yes he started spraying after he had been allowed out for a couple days. The spraying started when I would not let him out. Well its not living in the kitchen that's a problem it's just he seemed stressed at not being allowed out. Cat proofing the garden may be possible, I woul...

I've checked with the vet and he is FIV positive

I'm not sure, I'll have to check back with them, would it change things if he has any of those??

Hi Mollycat Thanks for ur reply. We had planned on keeping Bruce but the spraying only started once he Hadd a taste of freedom again. He was like a tiger in a zoo going from room to room looking out. He is very very friendly and I know with his health issues keeping him inside is the best thing but ...

Hi all, sorry for long post as I don't know what do do 😭😭 I have a real problem, I found a stray 4 months ago severely underweight, worms,. I tried to get him into a rescue but no space. So over this past few months I have gotten him vet treatment. His health has improved massively and he looks grea...

Thank you Mollycat for your kind words. I believe she likes our home and does want to stay as long as she can. She ate well overnight and wanted a wee walk this morning though the head shaking was less which is good. She also enjoys her morning neck and face rub with my foot as I eat my breakfast th...

Hi Mollycat Yes I understand what you mean with that statement and sorta was accepting it until Daisy ate her food with both her metacam and gabapentin in it. Fast forward 90 minutes and she is climbing through the shoes in the cloak room!! It's a roller-coaster of emotions for her and myself and da...

Thank you Mollycat for your lovely reply. I am sorry you had to say goodbye to Boo. I'm sure your still heartbroken. Sorry for ur loss. I hope I can tell if Daisy is tired. Now I am sitting beside her and petting her little neck and she is purring but her ear is annoying her alot, and she is shaking...

I posted here several months ago after taking in a beautiful cat old lady called Daisy who is 25 yrs old who has ear cancer and a polyp, enlarged liver and early kidney issues . We thought she would only last a few weeks but 7 months later is still with us. She has been to the best vet in the countr...

Hi All, my 25 year old lady called Daisy is still with us and her eating is good and is now drinking out of her water bowl. She has skin cancer on her ear which she keeps scratching until it bleeds every few days. I have seen some soft Elizabethan style collars but as she is older and a wee bit wobb...

Thank you both for your very helpful replies. Her creatinine is within range 117 (40-180) so it does look more like liver from what you are saying. I have just this evening bought her a water fountain to encourage her to drink but she hasn't really been interested but it could take time. Mollycat I ...

Thank you MollyCat for ur reply. I have monitored her health from afar and got treatment for her ear when required whilst she was with her current owner but now she needs extra comfort and care now so it was an easy decision to let her stay with us. She is so sweet and so grateful. Yes vet said kidn...

Hi, We have just 3 weeks ago taken on a 25 Yr old cat called Daisy who has scc ear cancer, quite a large ulcer which goes through a cycle of Daisy scratching the scab off it bleeding and then scabs up again and about 5 says later she scratches it off again. It seems to annoy her but not massively th...
