11 days ago we noticed the second dose of wet tail... Back to the vets for an injection and orally administering antibiotics via a syringe twice daily. We have seen limited improvements. However he has over the last 48 hours started to make the odd very erratic movements in between the hours and hours he spends sleeping.

Is this an indication that the old age/stress/wet tail combination is just getting too much or could there be another issue that should involve going back to the vets for?]]> Bryony Ask The VetWed, 17 Feb 2016 16:50:53 +0000 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,19677,27600#msg-27600 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,19677,27600#msg-27600 Me Ask The VetWed, 17 Feb 2016 12:44:04 +0000 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,11758,27599#msg-27599 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,11758,27599#msg-27599The only time when he does is when i pull his right leg out so it makes me wonder if it is his joint that hurts him.
Also i don't know if you agree or not but i live in a apartment and my cat is in recovery because he was declawed back in september of last year and he re opened his wound and then he had to get restitched and he took off his bandage that the doctor gave him even when he had the cone on.
so when my vet gave me a bandage to put on him i tied it tight so he would not get it off and then it ended up causing him to loose circulation in his left paw then he gained his feeling back in his paw 3 weeks after being at the vet for that amount of time.
Then we had his stitches cut and now he just needs his fur to grow back and he has a little pink on his arm that our vet told us needs to disappear then his cone cane come off for good.
We keep his toys away from him so he can recover, he can't jump on our dining room window because the cone is in the way as soon as he tries to jump up on the window he ends up falling back down because the cone gets in the way, the cone will bump into the window and cause him to fall back at the ground and then he realises i can't jump there so he gives up and then goes and lays down some where.
Our two youngest cats who are in recovery to because they were neutured and declaw back in january 4th of this year they have cones on to and we keep them when ever we are asleep or not home in their carriers so they can recover to and our female who likes to keep to her self we put her in our bathroom with her food and water so she does not bite our black and white cats scabs he had before the vet cut off his stitches he still had.
Last thursday and friday me and my common law were not home we had to do some unfinished stuff and we did not get home both days till around 4 pm and were out around morning period.
when we came home both days i noticed that our door mats were out of place they were in our hall way instead of around the front door.
so something tells me that he might got hyper and tried to play and then he bump into the wall and now he is hurting when ever you pull his right leg.
See i even said to my vet i know cats are smaller then humans are bu to me it takes alot to brake a bone whether you are a cat or a human i mean if he had no one chasing him to cause him to bump into the wall and hit the wall pretty hard, or if he had not jump off of our dining room window then how can it be a fracture.
he is going in the vet on the 2nd of march to me it is just hard to beleave he can fracture that easy, that is like saying hit a glass on your nose and it should shatter when glass is a very easy object to brake so how can a cat a living being just brake that easily?
could it not just be a sprain?]]> Justin Macdougall Ask The VetWed, 17 Feb 2016 04:08:40 +0000 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,8583,27598#msg-27598 https://www.vetclickforum.co.uk/read.php?7,8583,27598#msg-27598My 6 year old cat won't eat he's food it started of he'd pick at he's foot a few weeks ago but now he won't eat at all he's always drinking water .

A week ago my 12 year old ginger tom came to me and flopped down at my feet. My first though was that he had fallen off the bed and hurt his left from paw. His front paw was all stiff and after rubbing it a bit he seemed all better. 2 days later he was sleeping on the bed and became agitated and jumped off the bed. His back legs were weak and he was floppy, but could still walk. We rushed him to the emergency vet who checked him over thoroughly. He found nothing wrong with him, with only a slight agitation reaction( pulls his fur up when touched) on his lower back. But this is completely normal for him. Another 2 days later, he did it again. Again he was sleeping and struggled to get up. Takes him a minute and he is back to normal. We took him to our local vet who suggests it might be seizures and therefore probably a brain tumour. So right now, it's wait and see to see how it progresses and whether we should send him to see a specialist and have an MRI done. He has no other symptoms. Eating/drinking normally. No weight loss. Indoor cat, so no access to anything harmful.

The local vet said it was probably seizures if it seems to affect his cognance. But I was watching him this evening when it happened again. He had been sleeping all afternoon. His tail curls a little, like in the shape of a question mark. He tries to get up, but his legs are slow to respond. He seems resigned to the fact and seems to just wait it out. He is fully responsive while it is happening and even purrs and responds to touch with head nudges. He was even playful and batted at a passing ant, which to me suggests it's not a painful experience.

So if it's not seizures, what could the other possibilities be?

I have a three-year old male cat who I was told had a heart murmur when I adopted him. He was healthy until about four months ago, when he had his first "attack." He vomited, began breathing very heavily, panting and lost control of his bowel movements. It didn't appear that he ever lost consciousness although he eyes did look "off." We took him to a vet who ran various tests and x-rays and concluded that he had an enlarged heart and put him on enalapril every day. Since then, the seizures or "attacks" have been getting more frequent, although sometimes less severe. He is usually fully recovered within the hour- eating, drinking, using the liter box, snuggling. He seems completely healthy other than these episodes. Does this diagnosis seem correct? Is there something more I can be doing?

I have an Australian shepherd border collie mix named Remy. When I first bought him at three months old he had conjunctivitis in his eyes so we went to the vet and got him treated immediately. Now skip forward it is two years later and remy has always had eye boogies but never anything severe. Well just last weekend he had the most severe case of conjunctivitis I have ever seen. His eye was dropping and sunken so far in. We went to the vet and got all of the medicine needed and treated him. Well it looks great now he is completely healed in his eyes but he has gained some sort of blood blister on his lip. This does not look like a pimple at all. It doesn't even bother him it's just not really pleasant for me to look at and I don't know if it's dangerous. Can anyone help me with what this is?

(I used to live where the vet would come to me, so I always had fresh samples for my old vet.) He has been absolutely RESTLESS since we got home, and won't sit down for more than a few seconds at a time, and when he lies down he's now constantly repositioning like he is unable to get comfortable. I'm wondering if this is normal discomfort after a fecal exam with the rod (as this is very abnormal for him) or if I should be concerned.

Either way, in the future I think I'm going to insist on bringing samples for this new vet rather than put him through this again.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

1-diagnosed with kennel cough and a rash early december (vet said rash was from kennel cough)
-was on antibiotics and topical itch spray for 3 weeks
2-rash got severely worse and he has had the runs for about 3 days, vet said he has mites (demodex)
-on more antibiotics,an antiparacidic, and medicine to stop him from having the runs
3-next day he wont eat, the following evening he throws up his breakfast which was not digested at all. A couple hours after that he breaks out with big bumps all over his body. Hes also it itching.
-we take him to the ER and he is given a steroid shot. The vet said he must have gotten some kind of sting.
-today he has had the runs and continues to break out in bumps so we gave him benedryl.
-he just threw up his breakfast again which has not been digested whatsoever and continues to have bumps

I made a vet apt for tomorrow but im scared to feed him. Should i wait to feed him or make some mashed sweet potato? Also do you think anything sounds strange?
