The doctor knows what's best! So,it's good you follow whatever instructions he gives for yours pet's feed type. Most of the time, patience is always needed in feed selection for pets

Your doctor should examine again his treatment, it could be as a result of the pet's reaction to such treatments! However, there's nothing to panic about, You could just observe some basic tips to stop vomits whenever it wants to

Hello, Traditionally, there is a recommended time for vaccination of animals but if there is a case of emergency or outbreak, you are allowed to administer vaccines. In your case, I believe you can administer the vaccine since it's been long since your pets were given vaccines.

You need to present your pet for check up as soon as possible

I'd advice that you should continue with the feed, and get more consistent with it. Best regards!!

An over-abundance of bacteria can occur if you fail to clean your pet's teeth, allowing tartar and plaque to build up. In this case, I'd advice consistent mouth wash

It may be caused by different reason but for this proper blood and serum test is required and x ray of his chest, since the dog is old

Removing a tick from your dog, or worse — ticks — may not be pleasant, but it’s important to do it promptly and correctly. Once you know how to remove a tick, it will be a fairly easy process. Because they can carry infectious organisms, every year ticks infect thousands of animals and people with illnesses like Lyme disease, babesiosis, and ehrlichiosis, among others. Pathogen transmission can occur as quickly as three to six hours after a bite occurs, so the sooner you remove the tick the less chance there is that your dog will get sick. Using a pair of tweezers is the most common and effective way to remove a tick. But not just any tweezers will work. Most household tweezers have large, blunt tips. You should use fine-point tweezers, to avoid tearing the tick and spreading possible infections into the bite area. Spread your dog’s fur, then grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible. Very gently, pull straight upward, in a slow, steady motion. This will prevent the tick’s mouth from breaking off and remaining embedded in the skin. People often believe it’s the head of the tick that embeds in the skin. But ticks don’t have heads, in the conventional sense, so what gets inserted into your dog is known as “mouth parts.” After you’ve removed the tick, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly, clean the bite site with rubbing alcohol, and rinse the tweezers or tool with disinfectant.

Give immune booster, plenty of oral rehydration solutions,curd with crushed ice blended if dog wants to eat

The vomit might not be so much of a problem I believe, since you are in frequent touch with your vet. It'd go over time as she gets over the FeLV or perhaps, the vomit might just be a result of acid reflux.

Hi Clarice. I suggest to see your vet, they will do an xray for confirm it. to making sure there is nothing left and not harm your dog in the future. If you had another question, let me know.

I suggest you a second opinion first as any clicking sound on hip joint can be dislocation or femoral head fracture ,it's not that it can be the only thing that's left undiagnosed .thee can be other reasons too.put dog on cage rest ,minimal movement, some bandaging like robert Jones bandage to give some compression and rest to affected limb.all the best.hope your pet recovers soon.a vet needs to see thoroughly for any stress fracture ,ligament tear or sprain and then decide course of treatment.

Hii, hope you are doing well, Well see, Cats drink different amounts of water depending on their diet. Cats fed wet food will get a large proportion of the water they need from their food (just like their wildcat ancestors), whereas cats fed mainly on a dry diet will drink more water. If you are worried that your cat isn’t drinking enough. Increased thirst If you notice that your cat is drinking more than usual, this may indicate that something is amiss. Increased water intake is known as ‘polydipsia’. The most common causes of increased thirst and drinking are: Kidney (renal) dysfunction Liver (hepatic) disease Diabetes mellitus (‘sugar diabetes’) Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) Urinary tract disease Compensatory increased water intake eg, losses after vomiting or diarrhoea If you are worried about how much your cat is drinking, it can be useful to monitor their water intake for 24 hours. You can measure their water intake over a 24-hour period by filling the cat’s water bowl(s) to the brim, measure the amount of water left over at the end of the 24-hour period and take this away from the volume of water in the full water dish(es) (this may be more difficult to do if you have more than one cat in the household). Polydipsia is defined as a cat drinking more than 100ml per kg of their bodyweight per day, but any cat that is drinking more than usual should be seen by a vet, as this may indicate that something is amiss. Of course, let the vet know the amount your cat is drinking if you have measured it. As there are many reasons why your cat has an increased thirst your vet will usually take a blood and urine sample to work out the underlying cause. Once the cause of polydipsia is determined, then suitable treatment can begin.

Well experiencing fever in your cat after vaccination can be a normal immune response and if the car recovered and is doing fine you need not worry and as for yearly vaccination ,whether it should be done or not ,it depends on the antibody titre ,which can be tested by a certified lab after taking blood sample from your cat and has to be repeated annually to know when the abtibodies for a particular disease fall to such a low level that your cat needs a booster of vaccination to boost antibody levels.so either you take this test and then decide whether your cat needs annual vaccination or not or else keep taking annual shots as they are really not very harmful in real sense and elicit just the required level of immune response to protect your pet from various infectious and contagious diseases.

#Reason for struvite *Bacteria in your urinary tract produce struvite when they break down the waste product urea into ammonia. For struvite to be produced, your urine needs to be alkaline. Having a urinary tract infection can make your urine alkaline. Struvite stones often form in female who are likely to have urinary tract infection. #Preventive & curable steps are providing vitamin c supplements naturally (medicine) along with ad libtum water . #Acetohydroxamic acid (AHA) blocks the buildup of ammonia that can cause struvite stones to grow. * Note: Size is not known to say about surgery, go for x-ray or USG.

Hey Katrina, hope you are doing well. Well see, being in this profession for quite sometime, whenever I hear about brown coloured discharge from eye, the medical condition that first come to my mind is epiphora. What is epiphora? Epiphora means an overflow of tears from the eyes. It is a symptom rather than a specific disease and is associated with a variety of conditions. Normally, a thin film of tears is produced to lubricate the eyes and the excess fluid drains into the nasolacrimal ducts, or tear ducts, which are located in the corner of the eye next to the nose. The nasolacrimal ducts drain tears into the back of the nose and the throat. Epiphora is most commonly associated with insufficient drainage of the tear film from the eye. The most common cause of insufficient tear drainage is a blockage of the nasolacrimal ducts or poor eyelid function due to a deformity. Epiphora may also result from the excessive production of tears. What are the signs of epiphora? The most common clinical signs associated with epiphora are dampness or wetness beneath the eyes, reddish-brown staining of the fur beneath the eyes, odor, skin irritation, and skin infection. Many owners report that their cat's face is constantly damp, and they may even see tears rolling off their pet's face. Well it is a surgical condition for which you have to visit near by vet clinic anyway, but for the time being you can try some eye drops containing antibiotics like gentamycine. What is the prognosis for epiphora? Unless an underlying cause can be found and treated, most patients with epiphora will experience intermittent episodes throughout their life. If your cat's facial anatomy prevents adequate drainage of the tear film, it is likely that some degree of epiphora will persist despite all treatment efforts. In many cases, no significant problems may arise, and the tear staining may be cosmetic. Your veterinarian will discuss the particulars of your cat's condition and will determine the specific treatment options and prognosis for your cat.

Well, it is a common phenomenon encountered almost every time when you bring a cat. Let us understand what happens actually. DONATE ADOPT WILDLIFE VOLUNTEER EDUCATION SEARCH DONATE NOW Helping Your Cat Adjust to a New Home Adjusting to a new home can be a tense and frightening experience for a cat. Your patience and understanding during his initial adjustment period can do a lot to help your new cat feel at home. The ride home Riding in a car can be traumatic for cats. Your cat or kitten should be confined to a carrier during the ride home as well as during subsequent trips to the veterinarian. Do not let your new cat loose in a moving car or allow children to excite him. Do not leave the cat unattended in the car or stop to visit friends, shop, etc. Keep your cat in his carrier until you are safely inside your home. The new home Consider your companion’s past experiences. Your kitten may have been recently separated from his mother and litter mates. The kitten or cat has had to cope with the transition of a shelter and the stress of surgery. The adult cat may have been separated from a familiar home and forced to break a bond with human companions or other animals. Now he must adjust again to totally new surroundings. Allow your cat several weeks to adapt. During this period, the cat or kitten should be carefully confined indoors. He needs to get used to you as the provider of love, shelter and food. Be sure that all windows and doors are kept closed and that all screens are secure. A scared cat can easily get out of a high open window. PAWS strongly advocates keeping cats indoors for their entire lives, but if you choose to eventually let your new cat outside, it is imperative that he stay totally indoors for at least one month, and the new kitten until he is grown. It’s not uncommon for cats to display behavior problems during the first days in a new home, but these usually disappear over time. New cats and kittens often bolt under furniture. Some may spend hours or even days hiding. Sit and talk quietly to the cat. If you must take the cat out of his hiding place, carry him gently to a quiet protected area where he will feel secure. Be sure food, water and litter box are nearby.

Be sure food, water and litter box are nearby. What can you do to train your cat to behave better around the home? Jackson Galaxy—a cat behaviorist with more than 20 years of experience, and the host of Animal Planet’s hit show My Cat From Hell—explains in his entertaining video: The Best and Worst Ways to Train Your Cat The first day Introduce your cat to his new home gradually, restricting him to one room at first. Isolate other animals from your new cat during this time. Supervise children, advising them to always be gentle with the cat. Have the litter box ready when you remove the cat from the carrier. Show him the location of the litter box. Offer a bowl of water but do not provide food for an hour. Your cat may be bewildered, fearful or curious. Do not overwhelm him with attention or demands. Remember to keep doors and windows closed, and be sure the cat has an I.D. tag on at all times. It is not unusual for cats to leap on top of very high furniture in order to explore or to feel secure. Do not panic, shout, or run to the cat. When he is ready, he will come down alone. Try to spend several hours with your new cat as he becomes accustomed to your home. Your sensitive handling of the initial transition can ease the trauma and set the stage for a happy settling-in. Sleeping arrangements Most cats choose several favorite sleeping spots where they can be comfortable, warm, and free from drafts. Providing a bed for your cat may discourage him from sleeping on furniture. A cozy box or basket lined with soft, washable bedding and placed in a quiet corner makes a suitable cat bed. Some cats enjoy continually picking new (and sometimes surprising) sleeping spots. If you allow your cat to sleep on furniture, a washable cover can be placed over favorite spots. A cat’s sleeping spot should be respected as his own. Don’t allow children to disturb your cat when he is resting. Cats need solitude and quiet time. Introduction to other animals The ability of animals to get along together in the same household depends on their individual personalities. There will always be one who dominates. A new cat will often upset the existing pecking order or the old cat or dog may feel it necessary to establish dominance immediately. Wise handling of the “getting acquainted” period is an important factor in the successful introduction of a new cat. The first week or two may be hectic, frustrating and time consuming. Be patient. The adjustment will take time. New cat to resident dog Keep your dog confined until the cat feels secure in his new home. Introduce them indoors with the dog under control on a leash. Do not allow the dog to chase or corner the cat, even out of playfulness or curiosity. Supervise them carefully and don’t tolerate any aggressive behavior from your dog. The cat should have a safe retreat, either up high or in a room inaccessible to the dog. An adult cat may swat a dog to set limits. Allow your animals to accept one another in their own time and don’t leave them alone together until this is accomplished. Never force interaction. Many cats and dogs become companions and playmates while others simply tolerate each other. Be sure to give your dog lots of extra attention to avoid jealous reactions. New cat to resident cat Spayed or neutered cats are generally more accepting of other cats. Adult cats are generally more accepting of kittens than of other adults. Two altered adult cats often become friends in the same home. New cat to other resident animals Birds, rodents, and fish should be adequately protected from possible harassment by the new cat. These animals are the natural prey of cats and may be subjected to stress merely by the presence of a cat. Cats and rabbits generally live harmoniously together, with the rabbit often assuming a dominant role. However, watch early interactions closely in case your cat should manifest a prey reaction and never leave them unsupervised together until their relationship is clearly friendly. You can practice them or you also talk to some animal behaviour specialist. Thank you
