Hello,
I’m not overly concerned with vomiting when it is an acute episode, ie a few times over a short period of time as long as the patient is acting normally otherwise. In some cases it can be a hairball or something else hat just didn’t agree with the stomach so vomiting is the bodies way of taking care of it.
Don’t feed or give water for a few hours to let the stomach settle down.
If your cat doesn’t vomit again and is still acting normally I think you are ok.if you cat is not acting normally, for example depressed or lethargic or cannot keep anything down 4-12 hours later then then it’s time to see the vet.

Hello,
The best way to understand whether or not a mass is a problem that requires surgery to remove it is to try to get an idea of what the mass really is. If I am concerned about anesthesia I recommend an aspirate. See if that is an option or go get a second opinion from another vet to help decide what to do.

Hello,
Last I checked (a few weeks ago), Stokes had two options and it was the most affordable place we could find. They have quite a bit of information on their site.

Good luck

Hello,

Thank you for rescuing this kitten.
I think it is really important to see a veterinarian for your kitten to be vaccinated, dewormed., and have the skin looked at. I also don’t think that is going to cost as much as you propose.
As far as the skin goes I would guess that the skin lesion might be ringworm which won’t respond to what you are using. Please be very careful what you put on a kitten. It might not be safe to be ingested or absorbed.

Hello,
It sounds like this should be seen as soon as able. If it is open and leaking you can try a soft belly bandage to keep it from being traumatized and protected from licking and infection. You will likely have to have it surgically removed to resolve this. If cost is an issue ask if the local shelter or rescues might be able to assist.

Hello,
In my experience polyps are unlikely in a cat this age. I would ask for a few rounds of either an antibiotic or anti inflammatory to see if these help. In cases where clients struggle with the cost of diagnostics we often try various treatments to see if we get a favorable response. You can also ask for a sedated exam to look for a polyp behind the soft palate. Like I do in the video.
I hope this helps.

Hello,
We cannot offer treatment options here. It just isn’t prudent without an examination in person. And I feel that it too often leads to false pretenses about degree of illness and injury.
So the best advice I can give is to call your vet and discuss your concerns. If the vomiting persists, or your dog isn’t better in a few hours, or worsens at anytime it’s time to go see the vet.
A sting can cause local swelling and the mouth is a really important part to not be swollen (breathing issues), so I don’t want to offer advice about the vomiting without an exam.

We have had a few patients that resolved this with a neuter. Have you talked about that? We have a bartered surgeon who can perform this if neutering doesn’t resolve it.

Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about Captain. In puppies we worry about parvovirus, intestinal parasites, foreign bodies and eating something that doesn’t agree with them. With your pup I am not as concerned about the first two.

I am at the clinic first thing. We will fit you in.

Hello,
There are numerous things that can cause a nose bleed. Some of them may respond to a steroid. But until you have a good idea of what’s causing it (blood work and X-rays along with a good dental exam), it is just a guess that a steroid might help.
I can call you tomorrow to discuss possible options for this.
