Try mixing about a teaspoon and a half of salt with a bowl of warm water and wash it with that. Salt water works miracles☺️

I Try To Feed My Cats Tuna/seafood Flavored Wet Foods As Sparingly As Possible, But…
I try to feed my cats tuna/seafood flavored wet foods as sparingly as possible, but Sebastian is becoming picky to the point where he will only eat his dry food (Nutro high-protein) or tuna (Blue Buffalo gourmet) or a now discontinued shrimp/chicken/duck combo (Wellness). He will eat some chicken canned foods from those brands, but not always and not much of it. Is it unhealthy for him to have tuna about 4 times a week? He gets 1 3oz can a day, split into 2 servings and about 1/4c of dry food.
I’ve tried mixing a small amount of other food in with the tuna but then he refuses to eat any of it.

At first we thought it was food stuck in his ear so tried to comb it out last night. Today he’s been scratching his ear. It’s become worse and become a scab/sore.

Dawn Ferara, DVM At 10 weeks old he should be seeing his vet about every 3 weeks for vaccinations etc, so I would make sure to show this to your vet during his next appt. However, if the area gets worse I would schedule an appointment sooner.
Good Luck

Autumn Hello.
This sounds like an abscess of some sort. Does she go outside? Get into fights with any other animals?
We hope everything was able to be resolved.

Brittany Serratos Of note, I took the kitten to the vet at 11 days, and she tested negative for parasites in stool. I am using the correct formula.

It’s under the skin about the size of a dime it’s squishy not hard, he also doesn’t seem to mind when we touch it or push it. What should I do? It has only been 2 days since I noticed it. I want to take him to the vet but I think theyll just say keep an eye on it. It’s not red or anything you cannot see it.

Dawn Ferara, DVM I would keep an eye on it to see if it changes in a few days. Then I would take him to the vet to get the lump biopsied.
Before I Provide Details, I Plan On Taking Her In To The Vet Tomorrow As…
Before I provide details, I plan on taking her in to the vet tomorrow as her regular vet is closed to. I’m hoping someone will be able to provide me with what I can do in the meantime. My three year old dog is in alot of pain in her hind legs and when I lightly touch her left hip down to her leg she yelps. She cant walk but still has a little feeling in both legs. I have tried almost everything to help relieve some pain but it doesn’t seem to be working.

Andrea Cox Probably the best thing right now is to make her comfortable until tomorrow. Try to keep her from moving around too much. A crate or dog travel pen is commonly used to avoid moving around. I would place her inside.. right after she uses the bathroom one last time and given some food or water. Don’t keep touching her where it hurts and don’t fuss over her just keep calm and relaxed. Good luck.

Dawn Ferara, DVM Unfortunately there is no pain medication you can give her. Keep her calm and laying down. You can also try ice or heat to her painful area.

David R Thompson DVM With out additional info the problem list is long even if you have ruled out infection. Let your vet perform some blood work and other test to reach a diagnosis

Angie Shoop Hi David. Blood work has been done and they only said his while blood count was low. Also checked his urine and it came back ok. Haven’t really gave any information as to why he is sick

Autumn Vomiting can be for many reasons.
Upset stomach? Could he/she have gotten into anything? Ate something they weren’t suppose to?We recommending withholding for for the day and starting to then feed small amount if they seem to be improving.
Next steps would be radiographs to confirm whether anything seems odd, and sometimes sending out a blood panel to check levels.
Let us know if you have any questions!
I was taught, too many years ago, that a seafood heavy diet it not good for male cats. Can cause kidney problems. I have four male cats and I take it very easy on the seafood. Asher is very picky, but when he gets hungry enough he will eat. We’ve had several stand-off’s over canned food. I give him 20 minutes to start eating a new food. Then I take it away and put it out again at the next feeding time. I leave dry food out all the time. Canned is once a day at 8 p.m. He constantly tries to convince me that he’s starving at 7 p.m. and the new food is no good. He’ll even knock the dish on the floor. So far he’s letting me win.
