So, I’m taking care of my friend’s cat, and was instructed to feed her 2 cans of food per day.. Yesterday, the cat just wouldn’t stop begging for more food. I had to give her 4 cans throughout the day. Is that normal or healthy?

    Yes, that can definitely be normal and healthy.

    Cats can be horribly manipulative.  Provided she is healthy, I wouldn’t worry.  I’d let your friend know, though. 🙂

    If she is only suppose to have 2 cans I would break up the 2 cans into 4 feedings, this may help

I Found A Cat In Front Of My Doorstep 2 Days Ago, And Since It’s…

I found a cat in front of my doorstep 2 days ago, and since it’s Easter holidays where I’m from – there’s no open vet clinics in my region. I thought it’s poisoned, so I gave it active charcoal 4 times, 7mg for 7lb, in the span of 8 hours. Then I started feeding it with pectin, and it was looking a lot better. Now things have turned for the worse, it cannot move its feet at all. What can I do?

I Adopted A 2 Yo Dog 3 Mo. Ago And Believe His Tail Was Docked…

I adopted a 2 yo dog 3 mo. ago and believe his tail was docked improperly, causing him pain. Though the procedure was not done recently, it is erythematous, scaling, and inflamed. He bites, licks, and scoots on the area. He randomly yelps out in pain, sulking as if we inflicted it. He is potty trained, but has random bouts of uncontrolled minor incontinence. Assuming these sxs are truly attributed to the docking, what can be done?? (I have had dogs with docked tails before, so, yes, I realize these complications are not common, but certainly possible).
