On Sunday night around 10pm, Hope was showing intense discomfort and distress (i.e., panting and trembling) - we found a great emergency hospital nearby. They took x-rays and ultrasound as well as bloodwork and determined that she’s primed for surgery to have the uterus removed. The surgeon just...
I love your practical experience and "big mouth" :) <---both are very valuable. I love getting advice from the amazing vets here but advice from pet guardians is just as valuable and helpful. I agree - I feel she will not need all of those Rxs. I also have CBD with some THC which she's been on...
These will be prescribed for Hope for post op
Hope will need pain medication, anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory medication.
Gabapentin
Galliprant
Ondansetron
Any alternatives for these Rx?
Thank you, @GinnyW and @Dr. Jeff - We're scheduled for surgery this coming Monday by our original local vet. I have Arnica 10M ready - how often and when would you suggest I dose her? Dr. Gordon is familiar with Arnica and he will give Hope Arnica right before the surgery.
@Dr. Jeff @Dr. Sara @Dr. Christina @Dr. Jean Hofve - We brought our senior girl to a new vet today (because the local vet we usually go to was closed) because she has abdominal distention and large amount of blood discharging. The new vet mentioned a few things which I would like your opinions...
I reached out to The Two Crazy Cat Ladies with some questions re kittens - they graciously referred me to this website: Kitten Lady
I hope this website may come in handy for other kitten guardians... :cat2:
Hi All,
I was wondering if a cat is being kept indoors at all times, would the cat miss out on the benefits of grounding/earthing? Would it be a good idea to place an earthing mat in its cage? Has anyone here tried that? Additionally, would it be okay to use the ionbox on a kitten? I have a...
Thank you, @Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jeff - She's quite a handful (no pun intended :cat2:) - We switched her from canned food (Ziwi Peak) to frozen raw food (Quest - it came highly recommended: Raw Cat Food Archives). We will add frozen raw by Viva and SmallBatch in her rotation. She also gets raw...
Hi Christine - SmallBatch is a great! We also love beef hearts by Vibrant K9 (Grass Fed Finished Freeze Dried Dog and Cat Treats) - super fresh and not HPP'ed. They also offer freeze dried kidneys which is really hard to find.
To combat stress, you may look into Calm-A-Mile RTU/Neat by Animal...
My husband and I rescued a kitten today - she or he (we couldn't tell!) may be about a month old. We have never been cat guardians before so this is our first! We are looking for non-toxic cat litter and kitten food (canned) recommendations. Please help! Thank you! @Dr. Jean Hofve @Dr. Jeff @Dr...
Hi @Dr. Jeff,
I was able to dose Hope the remedy this morning - however, when I was administering it to her, she struggled and tried to run away and the q-tip (with the remedy on it) may have touched her lips twice. Did I "mess up" the dosing? I was instructed by you to give her a double dose...
