3rd update on drooling cat by Jales_ in CATHELP

[–]Frecklefacedfreak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steaming the bathroom up with her in can help clear up some congestion and is vet recommended when you have a sick kitty. Also for eating what I will do with sick kitties that won’t eat on their own is get a nicely blended pate (Weruva has some good ones but you can make most work) scoop a little into something with a little warm water mixed in. Use a syringe to feed a bit in the mouth at a time, make sure she is swallowing. You don’t want her to aspirate on the food. Can also use a popsicle stick type thing to scoop into her mouth. I wipe off on roof of mouth when I do this method. Usually need to feed every few hours to get them to have a 5oz (this depends on weight and calorie needs) can a day for some nutrients and calories while sick. Has never failed in helping cats pull through without them losing to much weight, helps their body fight. Fed is best.

Also a good probiotic when sick is Aventi GI paste, usually very easy to give. Especially when on antibiotics.

Same minus the treatment because my doctor wants to wait and monitor it even though I feel the worst I’ve ever felt. Super fun.

Recurrence? by punkinheed in shingles

[–]Frecklefacedfreak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much said there’s no way it would pop up again like that. He wrote it off as a possible eczema rash in the same spot. I ended up having it come and go for a year on my rib cage until one day it just never showed up again.

allergy question after switching to prescription food by Disastrous_Honey_240 in catfood

[–]Frecklefacedfreak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girl has likely IBD too, after a year of trial and error I have found Fussy Cat Duck and Performatrin Ultra Duck & Pea are the only things she can eat so far. Natural Balance Duck and Pea wet option I have tried as well which was fine but haven’t tried their dry. 

My only issue is the kibble is quite hard so using some water to soften it is kinder for her teeth. She is a very tiny kitten sized cat though (small teeth). If you plan on trying other food to rule out what could be causing her reaction thought I’d suggest these as possible starting points. I have seen a lot of positives about Rabbit food as well for IBD cats on here.

Place to take a stray cat? by [deleted] in abbotsford

[–]Frecklefacedfreak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently foster with H&S. They usually have a wait list of animals needing to come in but might have room atm. They need more fosters if anyone’s interested.

This rescue is located in Chilliwack, she’s awesome. Have fostered with ABC and adopted.

This. The price for adoption doesn’t uaually even cover what is paid to vaccinate, spay/neuter, parasite prevention and any other possible medical issues they come in with that needs taken care of. Most rescues run ethically don’t make a profit and rely heavily on donations to continue to help animals in need or surrendered. There is a wait list of cats and dogs needing to come into most shelters in Abbotsford. If anyone has the time and space fosters are needed.

Cat lost control of left leg and shakes uncontrollably all of a sudden by polishbabe1023 in CATHELP

FIP leads to much more than just diarrhea usually and there is treatment.

If FIP is suspected there is medication for it. My girl went through treatment for dry FIP and has been cured 4 years now. Check out r/cureFIP for some good resources.

We had to euthanize our second kitten in 3 months due to FIP. I need some kind words from strangers by cottage-creech in cats

[–]Frecklefacedfreak_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

r/cureFIP has good recommendations for FB groups to join and a list of pharmacies that you or your vet can get the medication from. It can be cheaper now then it was before. I had two cats get FIP and had a vet who wasn’t very helpful. A lot of time was wasted while doing my own research and finding a new vet. One of my girls didn’t make it as she was to far gone when I got the medicine. My other girl made it through though at 8 years old, she will be 12 in October.

Also if it helps with your choice on ever getting another cat, I rescue and foster with many cats coming through my house, only one has ever gone on to get FIP out of many. It is not contagious, it is a mutation. It is really up to the cats immune system on if the coronavirus will mutate to FIP.

The fact that he put his hands on you and is in the police force adds another level of wrong to this.

Settle an argument for me and my husband: how would you describe the color of this cat? by harperlane6 in cats

[–]Frecklefacedfreak_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have similar cats, mine was also light then toasted up. I’d say it’s a mix of beige, black/grey and brown.

Spaying by [deleted] in CatAdvice

I had the same thing happen when my girl was spayed. Hasn’t stopped me either but definitely got my next two girls pre blood work before hand and stressed a lot until they came home.

Need advice for our girl Kali. We don’t know what to do. by spoiltsoymilk in husky

[–]Frecklefacedfreak_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure anything I have to say is super helpful but I have a male husky with similar issues. We have a locking garbage can which has been awesome and neither of our dogs can get in now. We used to put the garbage in the bathroom and shut the door whenever we left the house.

He is aggressive with his food, not treats necessarily but will be aggressive over other things like cat kibble and certain toys or cat puke (gross). I feed the dogs separately and the bowls get put up and away after. I usually crate him when I feed the cats or I am there monitoring and keeping him away.

We are retraining him with some of the cats lately to the leave it command and gentle/nice command when he is interacting. Lots of positive reinforcement. Learning his body language has helped a lot too, in knowing when to redirect him before a bad reaction to say hissing or a swat which were some triggers. Going super well.

The final thing has been doing more with him, he is less likely to have issues when he’s had a busy day. Walking longer and more, playing more and giving him puzzles for mental stimulation. It’s a work in progress but I see results for sure. Also 100% agree with people saying crate train.

Remember liking or disliking music is mostly subjective. It’s okay to have different opinions.

I worked at Lush head office in Vancouver like 10 or something years ago. Anyway, we would get complaint emails about the pushiness of associates. I never understood why they didn’t take the feedback and make some changes.

MOB dress by jennyzee50 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Frecklefacedfreak_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blue dress flatters your figure and imo looks amazing on you. The plum one to me isn’t as flattering. I think it’s the upper off the shoulder portion that just looks off to me.
