I'm thinking about deleting all of this because I didn't realize how non-practical it was until I finished. I'm gonna put my houses on top anyways so nothing will be visible anyways. Should I just start from scratch?
My girl cat gave birth to them, and I was the one to cut their umbilical cords, so I basically raised them like my own babies. I knew this day would come, but I didn't realize it would come so quickly.
I miss them already. I miss them cuddling me and hearing them play in my room even if they broke some of my stuff. I miss their feeding time. I miss wrapping them in burritos after they'd fall in their water bowl for the nth time. I miss them scratching my feet to hell and back. I miss watching them play with their mom and dad.
I want to become a foster parent when I'm an adult and financially stable. I want to know how to properly deal with these emotions so I can willingly foster in the future.
My girl cat has these crystals in her urine causing her to urinate a light brown/red so, I took her to a vet and he prescribed her Kellagon (Ammi Visnaga 180mg and cymbopogon proximus 72mg) twice a day. But then I searched on google and it said it's highly dangerous for cats. He said it's fine. What do I do now?
I have no idea which one it could be. The highest candidate is my ragdoll cat which has a history of urinary blockages and kidney disease but he's healed from that since like, 4 years ago. The other candidate is my tabby cat which I was recently giving a tapeworm vaccine because he had drops of blood in his stool. The least likely is my calico cat. It's been more than 12 hours and I've been watching them like a hawk, but nobody has went to the bathroom since (as in urine, their stool is fine) ... They're also acting completely fine. But I know that if I wait any longer the cat could get a urinary blockage that's life threatening.
I'm a minor. Tomorrow is one of my most important exams that my life is basically depending on. I'm worried sick... I've scheduled to talk to a nearby vet in the early morning.
What can I do right now? Is there anything else I can do?
Well, nothing may be an overstatement, but what's not is that I am physically, mentally, spiritually, technically, absolutely fucked. I'm so overwhelmed I don't know where to start. I don't want to, either. I've reached the point of throwing up and dizziness. I sit down and look at my book and just... Blank out.
I know I have the ability to understand. I know I can top my school if I just try harder. But the words won't even enter my brain.
I'm so so tired and so so scared and so disappointed in myself. What on earth do I do to atleast try and get myself to study? How do I even study?
(and yes, I take meds, effexor and atomoxetine)
hes very sleepy here loll, his mom is a calico and he has a calico sister, so if hes a calico too then im going to be VERY happyy
I know a pharmacist that owns around 9 cats, so I just wanted some advice on good vets in the area. He then decided to prescribe me some medications himself which included 150mg of fluconazole. My cat is an unneutered male who currently has a fungal skin infection and a past history of CKD. He's a ragdoll cat, around 5kg
150mg just sounds like way too much. I wanted some opinions before I go to the vet today. I'm way too scared to give him that and put strain on his liver or something.
Don't know if this is the right sub for this but I need to get this off my chest. I've been crying for around 30 minutes now and I just feel so terrible.
Technically, I do buy them the expensive catfood brand, the pounds of litter, the beds, the brushes, the affection, and I just finished handsewing my cats soft cone. But it just doesn't feel enough.
One of them has an eye problem, another was born blind, and another has a fungal infection. They all need to be neutered/spayed. I'm taking them one by one but I'm a minor and it just stresses me out so much.
I forgot two doses of my cat's medicine because of my exams. My mom hit me with the "your exams are more important than your sick cat" and the "I'm the one paying for the vet" and I feel like jumping.
Still, I wouldn't trade them for the world. They're all so sweet and give me so much emotional support that I don't think I can live without.
Am I a bad cat owner?
He's got a stubborn fungal skin infection (I think ringworm) because his stupid past owner was so so stupid. He's like six years old and hasn't been vaccinated once. His immune system is terrible.
I've been giving him prednisolone twice daily prescribed by a vet, but then I realized he got super thirsty so I stopped. He's a cat with CKD, might I add. Didn't want to put strain on him.
All the vets keep prescribing the same things and simultaneously everyone contradicts the other.
"Give him antibiotics" "No, don't, it'll kill the good bacteria" "Give him a topical cream" "No, a spray!" "No, just bathe him!" "No, just give up on him*
But I DON'T want to give up on this baby. He's clearly so so sad but he's also seeking out affection when he isn't hiding. He absolutely loves kisses. He's beautiful.
(For the cone part, I cannot get him a soft one. I'm a minor and my mom refused. Although i technically could go to a pet store and get one with my own money... But I'd get in trouble)
