Thank you so much for your help! I'm heading to the store :) Sending prayers that your little one comes home soon! I was a wreck last summer when our young adventurous cat disappeared for a long weekend. We walked all over our area calling her name. We think that she was mistakenly locked in a garag...

Thank you so much for all of your care and concern! Doc gave him a steroid shot to shrink it, antibiotic pills to take home and a de-wormer just in case. He thinks that it is probably an infection of some sort that he caught from the baby bunny - could be an abscess. He wasn't super reassuring thoug...

It sounds in description like a Cuterebra http://vetmedicine.about.com/od/parasites/f/FAQ_cuterebra.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; But at 1 inch wide and 2 inches long - well that is huge! Although you can't find a blow hole I would suspect there is one. I've no experi...

Re: I thought it was a grub on my cat's neck - now I'm perpl

Simply saying "go to a vet" and not offering any helpful information completely negates the purpose of having a health forum as you can answer all of the questions posted here with "go to a vet". People post in this forum looking to learn from the experiences of others BEFORE goi...
