What to do: Chronic [minor] rectal prolapse in my 8 month old kitten. Since the day I got her she’s had a swollen rectum and we have gone through every non-intrusive mitigation. An important note: I found her deep in the backcountry of Idaho as a kitten, likely dumped by her original owner. She has tested negative for all abdominal worm parasites through multiple fecal exams. We despite that did two rounds of de wormer. She is on a specialized sensitive stomach diet, we did topical steroids, probiotics and lactulose which she still takes to help control softer stools. Her prolapse as not gotten any better and in earnest seems to be the most swollen its ever been. Dr suggested Coloplexy surgery but stated the risks as we don’t know what the root cause is. I worry she is dealing with sphincter issues and may come out of the coloplexy with incontinence. + that surgery is no joke and invasive. I wonder if there are any other parasite cleanses that would be suggested that are not worms- or if letting her live with it as she has could also be a choice. She does not struggle to poop and doesn’t show signs of stress of pain. Any advice ( and words of encouragement ) would be so helpful.

My dog has ear allergies. She shakes and scratches her ear.
Her ear is balloon like. Can this be managed at home?

Hi!
I have a 9 year old Pitbull mix with history of mast cell. I noticed a lump on his chin in April and brought him to the vet for aspiration. It came back mast cell. The vet put him on a dose of prednisone and I continued giving him his daily Benadryl. His surgery for removal was scheduled for 3/19. We did a mass removal and dental at once. When he was finished the vet called and said the prednisone made the mass disappear completely so she did not operate on the site at all. A month later, now that his pred course is finished, the mass has returned on his chin and is clearly a mast cell. I don’t know what to do next because I spent the money I had on his surgical visit on 3/19 with the expectation that his mass would also be removed. Do you have any recommendations on what I should do? Thank you in advance!!

Hi Dr Magnifico,
I have a 6 year-old female cat who came to us as a stray and always had noticeable creaky purring sounds. She was about 1 year old when we got her. She has recently developed noisier breathing and almost whistling, and the vet said the sound comes from her nose or trachea, not from the lungs. Bloodwork normal, they don’t think it’s allergies. No nasal discharge or coughing. I saw your videos and think it may be a polyp (the vet said it’s possible). another vet quoted me 1800 for ct scan and 1800 for removal. I can’t possibly afford that. Prednisolone helps for 5 minutes then it starts again. I have not tried an inhaler. She is quieter (sometimes completely quiet) when she is asleep. No mouth breathing at any time. Dr says most likely not asthma.
Do you have any suggestions on what else we can try and also would you be able to see her and check for polyp without an additional ct scan (due to cost)? Thank you.

I took my cat to the vet to get unblocked and not 24 hours later he was blocked again. I paid a $2000 vet bill and now they’re telling me that I have to pay another 2000 to do the blockage again but I don’t have the funds to do that And I’d like to get a PN so this doesn’t happen again, but I don’t have the funds to do it, and the vet told me to euthanize him. But that’s not fair. I wanna try to save his life if I can They told me to surrender him please. I need some advice. I don’t know what to do. I’m just blowing my eyes out every day.

My dog needs cherry eye surgery and I need to know the price range for that.

12 dogs later, we have never had a case of this.

Jarrettsville Vet office said to mention Dr Magnifico !

My senior dog has progressively experienced bowel incontinence of soft, formed stool. She seems to be unaware as a small amount will just fall out as she is walking. She will be 15 this year, is very house trained, and continues to go outside majority of the time. Over the past month it seems to happen more frequently and I’m not sure how to manage it. We also have small children and I’m dreading the day my 18 month old finds it before me.

Newly paralyzed cat/ bowel movements – we have a newly paralyzed cat and she hasn’t had a bowel movement since Tues 3/17 pm. Hasn’t ate much since then, but also taking gaba & prednisolone. Eating wet food since accident. F/U with vet today to get more advice on manipulating. She’s spicy and difficult to handle at times so I’m worried how to make this work. Hoping to consider stool softener or laxative of some sort to help her with this process. Any recommendations ? I came across your video for the kitty that has had years of constipation and wanted to send a message. Thank you in advance!

I rushed my 1 year 1 month male cat to the vet last March 16 and he was on catheter until the 21st. Reason for the catheterization is a urinary blockage due to stones. He is currently urinating well everytime he goes to his litter box but my only concern is, he only pooped last March 17. Until today he wasn’t still pooping. We had xray and ultrasound done. Everything is normal as per the vet, he has a gassy stomach. Considering this, he hasn’t pooped now for nearly 5 days, including this 2 days catheter removal. He is also dehydrated despite drinking a lot of water. He is looking at me whenever I eat, he is meowing, he swallows the food (wet/dry royal canin urinary SO) as advised by vet. But he sniffs a little amount of food such as fish and chicken and then taste small portion and will not eat afterwards. He is not vocalizing pain as well and straining on the box, he is also not vomiting. He can jump up our sink to drink water and also walks and is purring. Can you recommend me anything I can give him for him to eat voluntarily and be able to poop?

Our dog Roo was recently diagnosed with a dermal melanoma and during her oncology consult at it was also discovered that she has AGASACA. We are exploring cost saving options and were wondering what others have paid at certain surgical centers for abdominal ultrasounds and thoracic radiographs and potential removal surgery.
