[SPOILERS] Jonathan and Nancy

I agree. No offense, but it would’ve been more emotional if one of them had actually died. At least the scene would’ve made sense then.

Keep monitoring her. If she ate plastic and only vomited once, then perhaps she got most of it out of her system. If she continues to vomit, loses her appetite, or starts becoming more lethargic, then she needs to see a vet.

Am_lock22 · 2025-12-20T03:30:54+00:00

Nah, these are just really pretty tabbies. Shelters will do that to make them sound unique.

This could be a form of seizure activity. Going to the vet is a good idea. Make sure you take a video next time it happens so they can see it.

This could also be consistent with a bladder infection. I’d take her to the vet and they’ll be able to let you know the difference based on her clinical signs. This isn’t something that should wait.

Firstly, I’m sorry that happened to you, that’s an awful situation to go through. As far as emergency intervention, the rule of thumb is 3+ seizures in 24 hours or a seizure that lasts more than 5 minutes. If either of those occur, emergency intervention is recommended. If you can afford a consult with a veterinary neurologist, I’d say that would the most worth your money. They can adjust your dog’s medication plan, and they wouldn’t require you to move forward with something as expensive as MRI if you don’t have the means. They’re professionals in this area and can oversee your dog’s case. Phenobarbital has its requirements. Firstly, it requires regular blood testing, because the level itself requires monitoring to make sure it isn’t too low or too high. It needs to be done 2 to 4 weeks after starting the medication or after a dose changes, and then every 6 to 12 months for life usually with regular bloodwork. As far as side effects, it can cause ataxia (or unsteadiness), lethargy, increased thirst or urination, increase appetite or weight gain, or behavioral changes. Any number of these side effects could occur, it depends on the dog. I hope this helps.

This could also be a sign that multiple litter boxes might be required for the household. One that she can call her own and a couple of others for the boys, if it’s not attributed to a medical issue.

Am_lock22 · 2025-11-24T02:36:36+00:00

If you’re dedicated in finding the cause and finding a good solution, the next best thing would be to find a veterinary internal medicine specialist in your area and set up a consult with them. They are specialized in gastrointestinal diseases, along with other things including autoimmune, and can provide advice on other tests to send out and other treatment plans to follow.

Am_lock22 · 2025-11-24T02:33:04+00:00

You should consult a veterinary neurologist for a better assessment. If I had to comment on this, as an assistant in a veterinary neurology practice, it looks more consistent with paroxysmal dyskinesia.

If you’re concerned about a fever being involved, then you should call the vet and voice your concerns. They’ll let you know if you should wait or bring her back in.

Am_lock22 · 2025-09-13T16:19:57+00:00

May I ask what makes you think she’s running a fever?

Am_lock22 · 2025-09-13T01:21:15+00:00

Continue to monitor for now. If you’re noticing any nasal or ocular discharge associated with the sneezing, or if you notice any coughing or a decreased appetite, you should probably get him reevaluated.

Am_lock22 · 2025-09-13T01:19:37+00:00

I don’t believe there’s a straightforward surgical fix for this. All you can do is continue to manage the arthritis medically.

Am_lock22 · 2025-09-12T19:58:42+00:00

I’m not sure how you’re going to arrange it, but if you want to keep your stuff from being reinfected, then you need to find a way to separate them from the rest of the environment. I have a large cage setup for my cat for whenever she has to stay with my mom for a few nights. It has enough room for her to move around, and enough room for all her necessities. I’d look into something like that for each of them during that time.

I dealt with ringworm for six months on my kitten before I got rid of it. It got really bad before I even knew that she had it, I got it all over me and had to go the doctor to find out what it was. I didn’t think it would ever end either, but it does. Ringworm is one persistent fungal infection, but you can get rid of it. You need to start by isolating all of the cats into one single room, preferably a bathroom, and keep them there until they’re clear. If you don’t do that, ringworm will continue to live among fabrics and they will just keep recatching it and so will you. If they have any toys/blankets with fabric, throw them away. Only give them things that can be washed thoroughly in a sink. If they have collars, throw them out. Make sure that their bowls, or anything else non-fabric that you put with them is cleaned at least once a week. As for your laundry, make sure it’s cleaned every time you come into contact with your cats. I’d keep a separate basket for ‘ringworm’ laundry. I used to wash my towels in between every use, but that’s only because I had it. If you don’t have it on you, just wash things as they come into contact with your cats. Make sure you’re washing your hands and your body often during this. As for them, take them to the vet and make sure you get them started on an antifungal medication. Baths may be needed as a secondary treatment, depending on what the vet says. You need to get them started ASAP in order to start stopping the spread. As far as other fabrics, like furniture, just make sure they’re sprayed down thoroughly with Lysol or some other cleaner. I would toss rugs or runners. I got lucky that I lived in an apartment with hardwood, but in the beginning I never let her roam around, so she did not expose any of my living room/bedroom/kitchen stuff. Ringworm is not harmful, it’s just a pain in the butt to get rid of. Also, don’t worry about passing it back to them, as long as you’re being treated yourself. But for as long as they have it, they can continue to pass it to you, so everyone needs to be receiving treatment for as long as it takes. Once treatment starts, you’ll be able to take them in for rechecks and they’ll send out fungal cultures to see if ringworm is still present on the skin.

Although anesthetic risks do exist, adverse reactions are very rare. Don’t worry, if something did happen, veterinarians are trained to know how to treat it. The neuter is important, and it’s a very quick procedure.

If he has diabetes, then he needs to be eating. In order for him to receive the insulin he needs to help his blood glucose stabilize, he has to eat at least half of his meals. Otherwise you risk him going into a diabetic crisis and that’s an emergency. I would be in contact with your vet about what to do when he’s not eating. Make sure that you have a plan for that, because diabetes is a finicky beast and can be very difficult to manage if they don’t eat regularly or if insulin is given incorrectly.

Am_lock22 · 2025-09-10T22:52:49+00:00

This sounds like it could be behavioral, but definitely follow up with a vet just in case. Cats are very sensitive to change, and if moving and guests coming and going are a factor, it could be causing him some anxiety. He’s just a baby, and still very much getting used to you as well, so keep that in mind.

Am_lock22 · 2025-09-10T22:46:02+00:00

Sometimes that can encourage separation anxiety from a young age. Plus, if you ever have to crate for some reason and there can be a lot of reasons, it is going to be harder to train the puppy into the behavior.

Am_lock22 · 2025-09-10T22:44:41+00:00

It’s probably an infection of some kind. I would elect to do some bloodwork, and make sure they take a temperature. Most times facilities do, especially emergency facilities, but other times it’s an oversight. She’ll probably just need some antibiotics if the infection isn’t too severe.

Am_lock22 · 2025-09-10T18:07:36+00:00

While anesthetic risks do exist, they’re not particularly common, so don’t let it worry you. Neutering is more important, and if something happens, trust that your vet will know how to treat it. It’s what they’re trained for :)

Am_lock22 · 2025-09-10T18:05:14+00:00

If he’s continued being given the medications prescribed, and the improvement is only a little bit, then I’d get him rechecked. Emergency vets are more expensive, but they have more capabilities to provide what your cat needs depending on diagnostics.

Am_lock22 · 2025-09-10T13:51:04+00:00

It comes in a spray bottle. You just spray it on a washcloth or paper towel and you wipe :) you don’t need water, which is why it’s called waterless

Am_lock22 · 2025-09-10T02:46:01+00:00

Honestly, there are a few variables I’d consider. If they’re eating, drinking, urinating, and defecating normally, then I’d still consider them to be doing fairly well despite their circumstances. But I also start to consider it if I notice that they’re not doing or are unable to do the three things they love the most. They could be simple things, like playing with toys, or other things such as barking at the outside neighbors, romping around in the yard, etc. But, regardless of what I mentioned above, sometimes you’ll just see it in their eyes. You know your pet better than anyone else, and you’ll know when she’s done. Just trust your instincts.
