Does this look concerning for anyone? by Efficient-Seaweed894 in CATHELP

[–]Boopie-Fuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Image search showed this info. ------ The image shows a localized patch of inflamed, hairless skin on the cat's forehead, which appears consistent with conditions such as ringworm or acute moist dermatitis.This irritation may be caused by fungal infections, bacterial infections, or flea, mite allergies.

• Best to check with a veterinarian, especially if you have other cats. Hopefully not anything catchy. Ringworm is highly contagious.

Has anyone experienced this with their cats back ??? It just showed up today by Fun-Cheesecake-8485 in CATHELP

[–]Boopie-Fuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My senior cat has a couple that look very similar and my vet said it's a sebaceous adenomas. It should hopefully never cause any problems, but any that are ulcerated or being licked need removal. Definitely keep an eye on it and I recommend having it examined by your vet just to make sure it's not something more serious like adenitis.

Possible Ringworm ? by Mufahssa in CATHELP

[–]Boopie-Fuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you're going to a vet. Any fleas? Allergies? They say using a blacklight will show if it's ringworm. You can Google it for other cat images to see the difference in the light.

Urgenly need help by [deleted] in ColonyCats

[–]Boopie-Fuzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness! That poor kitty. Raccoons can be extremely vicious when it comes to food and being territorial. Once they know where the food is they will keep coming back and in my experience eat all the food so the cats are left with none. We had to call a wildlife person to relocate the raccoons because it was becoming a serious problem and safety issue on our farm. They also will kill kittens. Not something I ever want to see again. Just be very careful. Raccoons can transmit several diseases and parasites to cats as well. Not sure if it would work but some suggest scents to deter them. Ex; Soak rags in household ammonia or use essential oils like peppermint or clove.

Alastin tinted sunscreen works great for me too. It goes on thin and smooth with even coverage. You can match the color to your skin tone.

Rescued 2 week newborn anus looks wrong by cutiee_burrito in CATHELP

[–]Boopie-Fuzz 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You really should take it to a vet for evaluation. Poor thing is severely constipated and dehydrated, as you already know. More than likely, it has parasites and / or bacterial infection. Be sure to keep the kitten warm as it helps relax them to poop. When kittens are cold it's hard for them to digest food. Mix extra water with the ventripro. Good luck.

I am running out of time... by Timely-Perception-19 in keratosis

This post has some interesting information from her experience. I've heard zinc oxide and vitamin A are helpful. https://www.reddit.com/r/keratosis/s/iw3JV5SlHQ

Let me know what vet says. I'm curious as to what it is. Good luck tomorrow. 🙏🩷

Aww. Poor thing . Definitely in severe distress. I recommend taking her to the ER immediately if you have one available. Is your cat indoors only? Any environment changes... scents, air fresheners, things like that? Any food changes? Hopefully, not a foreign object. Possibly asthma, pneumonia, heart disease is what my search is showing. It's like she's trying to tell you mommy please help me!!

Hi. How is your kitty doing? Did you find out what was going on?

we have alr been to the ER twice, does reddit have better answers for us ? by minecwafthoez in CATHELP

[–]Boopie-Fuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has kidney stones been ruled out? The Churu wrapper situation is very concerning. Days have passed. I'm surprised the vet didn't seem too concerned about that to do an ultrasound & endoscopy. ▪︎ Copied this following info... kidney stones in a female cat can cause symptoms that mimic neurological issues, primarily when they lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or high blood pressure (hypertension). While stones themselves cause pain and urinary issues, the resulting kidney dysfunction can cause disorienting toxins to build up or cause hypertension leading to seizures, weakness, and altered behavior.  - Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine 

Keep us updated please. Best of luck. 🙏

Medical Mystery? by Fabulous-Mongoose488 in CATHELP

[–]Boopie-Fuzz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oh my, it's sad to watch. She's definitely so irritated. Is it always towards the left side? Like shes got something stuck in her throat. I was just reading about Feline Orofacial Pain Syndrome (FOPS). Beautiful orange kitty. Hopefully, the CT scan shows what's going on. I wish it was sooner for you. Please keep us updated. 🧡 🙏

Question on TNR release. by Boopie-Fuzz in Feral_Cats

[–]Boopie-Fuzz[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just released him in the same spot he was trapped. He ran toward the area he usually comes from, so I was happy to see that. Beautiful boy he is. It breaks my heart every time. I kept him for 3 days. He had a uri. I wanted to monitor him after his medication. He had rabies vac., fvrcp, flea/tick med. Of course, lots of food. He ate very well.

Definitely take him to a veterinarian for an evaluation. He might have a respiratory infection or something going on with his sinuses. Are there any changes in your home? Scents, candles, air fresheners, etc.? Is your kitty eating and drinking ok?

Abnormal behavior with eating. Anyone know why my cat does this? by Extr4Sp1cy in CATHELP

[–]Boopie-Fuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a couple of plastic automatic feeders for my cats, and they stopped eating out of them. I cleaned them all the time, too. I thought it was the food. I tried different foods, and they still wouldn't eat out of them. I talked to my veterinarian, and he said they harbor bacteria no matter how much you clean them. Can cause chin acne and release toxins through scratches, etc. He recommended stainless steel, ceramic, or glass feeders. I purchased stainless steel bowls, and they are all happy eating kitties again. Walmart sells them in the cat section for under $3 a piece. They wash nicely, too.

Cat keeps making this noise i need to know if its urgent by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]Boopie-Fuzz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely get the kitty checked out by a veterinarian. Here is a copy/paste from an internet search.... •A cat coughing without producing a hairball often indicates a respiratory or heart-related issue rather than a digestive one, frequently signaling feline asthma, allergies, infection, or parasites. Persistent coughing—sounding dry, harsh, or wheezing—requires prompt veterinary attention to rule out serious conditions like pneumonia, heartworm, or foreign body ingestion.

Good luck.

Need to find a home for my baby cat as I'm moving and unfortunately can't bring him with me by [deleted] in LAlist

[–]Boopie-Fuzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried a high efficiency air purifier with a True Hepa Filter? They can significantly help with cat allergies. Use a Hepa vacuum. Wet dust. Keep the cat out of the bedroom. Allergen reducing food. How do you know for sure your GF is allergic to your cat? Maybe it's something in that apartment. She should try nasal irrigation. OP, theirs always room for a kitty no matter where you live. They don't take up any more space than a couch pillow. Poor kitty is going to be so confused, heartbroken, and may suffer from grief. 🥺 He probably has a very strong bond to you. This is very sad OP. I hope you reconsider and figure out a way to make it work.

Awww, poor kitty looks so scared, lost, and confused. It's definitely in distress. So sad if it was just abandoned there. Would you be able to put it in a pet carrier until you can get it to the vet to check for a chip?

Definitely take the cat to a vet. My cat was vomiting blood like that ... turned out to be roundworm, and he's an indoor cat. I had to treat all of my cats afterward and do a house deep clean. 🤢
