I'm happy to report the Omega 3 has been a massive success with Tiberius, his personality has done a complete 180, he's eating more and more, he's more social, he still has some pain but its lessened quite a bit, he can almost do a full yawn! And the things its done to his coat, my god its like petting a fluffy cloud.

Don't know what to do with my cat anymore, he was doing so well with the oil now he's getting worse again, I am legitimately reaching a breaking point and I don't know what to do, I've been dealing with this crap for over a year and I'm very close to being sick of it, I won't abandon my cat but I'm growing weary of this fight. Maybe I just need to vent I don't know, another vet trip for him soon.

porkswordonboard posted:^ Alteisen, remind us of the issue with your buddy? If it's something health-related the cat megathread (which I'm pretty sure most of us post in Its his mouth, at first it was a bent tooth, we got that taken care off and he was just fine, then it was swollen gums which it still is, we managed to take care of that with fish oil since its an anti inflammatory, he was doing fine now he's acting weird again, not coming in, running from me when he's outside, I offered him some cat food and he didn't want it today, its just stressing me out, this is not an old cat, he'll be 4 on election day and I hate he has these issues, I just want him to be back to his older self again. He has allergies issue to cause I live in this poo poo island.

Yea I called in a vet tech buddy, he saw the black spot, said its a toothache for sure so yea, vet trip time! As for the poo poo island comment, I live in Puerto Rico, almost every single day the level of pollen and fungus in the air is at level red meaning quite high, it wreaks havoc on my allergies and the cat as well.

Ok, news is good, all bloodwork is positive, negative on FeLV or any related conditions, the cause of it all was extreme, extreme and I do mean extreme swelling as well as lacerations in his mouth, I type that out and even I cannot believe it but yes, lacerations, nothing perforated in his internal organs or anything, they cleaned out his mouth like you would not believe, according to the vet he used everything that is non toxic to an animal to clean him and went by tooth by tooth to ensure they where fine(they where), but yea massive, massive swelling around the back combined with these lacerations are the cause. He'll live, but his outdoor days are over, so now I have a question, what can I do to make life easier for a cat that was outdoors so much? He's lived his whole life out there but I can't trust him anymore, so I need to make something for him so he's calm and chill inside the house.

Thanks everyone, the stress was real, maybe I won't flunk my biology test now.  I've got some ideas to catify the house, some homemade stuff as well, by the time I'm done my house will be amazing for kitties. Klaus88 posted:Do you have wall-to-wall carpet?

Kitty is home, apparently he's a very terrible patient and only ate when I got there. He was eating dry food which I haven't seen him do in ages, that's already a massive improvement.

My kitty was given Orbax to counter the stuff in his mouth, I assume to not let any bacterias set in due the lacerations. Anyone heard of it? Read up on the side effects, they seem a bit lovely.

cat_herder posted:I haven't used it or heard of it before, but keep in mind that the post-approval side effect reports tend to be the stuff that's major and thus likely to be reported. Usually, cats just develop diarrhea from antibiotics. Fluroquinolones need to be taken on a full stomach (ask me about springing a nosebleed while taking Avelox on an empty stomach!), and keep an eye on him for leg weakness or pain, as they can rarely screw with tendons. If he starts acting particularly off, call the vet back. You have the cutest avatar, don't know if I ever told you. And thank you for the advice, we've only give him one but so far no side effects, he's dying to get out of the house but yea, never gonna happen again, come friday when I don't have classes I'll splurge on cat stuff and catify the house a bit for him, he actually spent the entire night curled up with me in bed so if this is how he's gonna be going forward I am all for it.

Can you cool folks suggest soft toys for Tibi to chew on? I noticed he's very bitey when he plays with either humans or any sort of toy, hell just today I went to the bathroom and layed down on my pants and started playing with the string on them and biting it.

So I'm not entirely sure how to feel right now. 2 days ago my brother's cat went missing, thankfully she showed up again, this reminded me a lot of the animals I've had that went missing and never back, something possessed me to try again so I went door to door with a picture of her asking people and wouldn't you know it I found a group of people that knew who she was, rather far from my house to, turns out she found her way there and the family kept her, she lived a nice life with them and passed a year ago. So I don't know how to react, I wanted to closure but this isn't the closure I wanted, should I be glad I know? Should I be sad at a time like this? They even showed me pictures and where she was buried, they clearly came to love her very much but she's still my cat ya know. So I just don't know, never been faced with a situation like this.

The cat I bought the drat cat tree for is utterly terrified of the thing and the rest of the cats sniffed it and don't give a gently caress. I can't catch a break with these assholes.

My neighbors cat is now indoors only because he hurt himself getting into fights so badly he almost lost his ear, as it stands the ear just flops down now because of the severe nerve damage. Before that he basically lived here, even now he still escapes only to visit me and I am the only person he listens to, he won't listen to his masters at all, I give him a call and he's fat my feet purring and demand belly rubs and head pats.

And another stray I cared for passes on in my property, its an odd thing, I can't tell if people leave them here or the animal simply knows but I've had so many cats show up here in desperate need of help or medical attention which many times I had to provide myself, from cleaning a horrific burn, to ripping dead skin off to cutting a rotting tail and having to cauterize the stub left, this last one had a lot of mouth issues so I fed him soft stuff and watered down dry, he seemed to like it and gained quite a bit of weight. There's never any foul play with these animals, is as if their journey and mine simply comes to an end. I don't mind but it does break my heart, I've shed tears for all these animals that have come and gone regardless of how little or much time they spent with me. Its funny, I start to think I should start to foster again and these needy little kitties pop up, maybe a greater power is trying to tell me something.

I have a small kennel on a corner of my house, furthest away from the streets and elements when it gets bad, if I'm not boarding one of these needy kitties I usually leave it open with food and stuff, seen a number of kitties eat or just hide in there when the weather turns bad or there's loud stuff going on.

Please, I'm no hero, I won't say that anyone else would do the same but I feel I owe it to animals, pets in general have saved my life more times than I can count, from the lowest points of my depression as a kid to my lowest points as an adult, kitties and one dog where there to help me so I feel I owe it to them. And yea Butter looks incredible, he's slimmed down so much.

What do guys suggest for a kitty with a stuff nose? My Tibi has suffered from allergies since birth and its usually a stuffy nose since where I live is lovely and there's spores and poo poo everywhere, so I'm curious if you guys have any remedies or anything.

So what's everyone getting their kitties? I got a bunch of toys for mine which I decided to just give them, also picked up a chew toy pretzel for Tibi which is designed for cats apparently since he likes to chew poo poo, Tibi is currently batting around his toy balls.
