I can’t answer this. Only medications that are approved by the fda have guidelines for safe use.

Hello,
If I read this correctly you are asking me to try to discern this being a medical problem versus a behavioral preference?
I don’t know which, or if it is a combination of both. You would need and examination for the medical and a long discussion with your vet or a behaviorist for the other.

Hello,

It is not possible to diagnose via a photo. Diagnosis is made by an aspirate or biopsy. Further based on your description it sounds like a vet is needed soon as it is growing quickly. I’m sorry I can’t help more.

Hello,
Sorry for the delay. Sneezing has lots of possible causes. And therefore it is very hard to diagnose the cause so we can best direct a treatment plan.

I think your plan sounds pretty solid. I would start w your suggestions and see the vet.

best of luck

Hello,

I’m so sorry to hear about your cat.
I’m also sorry but there is not enough information here to allow for an accurate diagnosis and therefore an appropriate treatment plan.
I recommend that you call the vet back and ask for help on a budget. See if you can drop off a fecal sample without the exam. See if they will allow you to do some diagnostics with a minimum database so that you can get help for your cat. There is a big push in vetmed right now to allow affordable care. Remind them of this. Put us all in writing and plea for your cat to get help. You she already been seen and they already have an established relationship with you. This will help you get care and it is a great case for what the profession is already being challenged with.
I will add the links below for the public press releases stating that we know too many people are struggling to find affordable access to care. I recommend you use your personal experience as an example and start advocating for help yourself. Or you can try to find a shelter or rescue that has a vet on duty who might be willing to help.
Please keep me posted.
Good luck.

Hello
I don’t know if the trembling is pain or nerve function talking to the muscles. If you cannot afford a neurologist referral then I recommend you follow the instructions from your vet and the information I provided on my YouTube channel and blog. Kmdvm.blogspot.com.

Hello,
I’m sorry but I cannot offer much help here. Even with good photos eye conditions are very difficult to diagnose without seeing them in person.
When all else fails I offer an ophthalmic antibiotic to see if this helps. Too often we struggle with the ability to diagnose (because we aren’t specialists) so we see if response to treatment offers any help. In some cases I might also do an oral antibiotic. This is especially the case for very young or old patients.

A lump or a bump can only be diagnosed by a biopsy. If it isn’t growing and is t problematic you can give it some time to see if it changes. There are cosmetic lesions like warts in people which never require medical attention. Also things like sebaceous adenomas, histiocytomas, etc don’t usually require care. If it gets larger or you are concerned please see your vet in person for an examination for advice.

Hello,
If this just happened (ie last day or so) then I am not too worried about eating or drinking yet. I hope your cat has some pain medication and that some fluids were given. For cases like this I give a long acting injectable antibiotic like convenia and a long acting pain medication like zorbium. Just so clients don’t have to worry about handling or medication administration. After that I recommend cage rest. This includes placing the cat in a cage that is just big enough to hold a pee pad with litter on it (no box so they don’t have to try to get into it), a water bowl, (sturdy and shallow), food (wet preferably) and blanket or towel. Nothing with sides to require extra movement or effort. Also wet food so they don’t get hard feces as posturing to defecate will/might be hard. I also make sure these pets are spayed asap jic there are pelvic fractures. Delivering kittens with previous fractures might not be possible.

Do not pick up if you don’t have to. If you do use a towel as a sling. Be gentle and careful. Or ask your vet for help.

Good luck
