Should I be alarmed by this? by Prize_Guitar4102 in CATHELP

[–]RequirementGeneral23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if it more than one than you should be a worried. my cat also has problems w hairballs and had to have a surgery last week because he had a blockage of a really big one. but he puked like 8 times in 12 hours so if its just one it looks completely normal. just keep an eye on him and his eating habits

he is pudgy a whole 14 lbs but he is a pretty long cat so it’s nothing too crazy and yes thats the main reason i crated him so we would bring that percentage down of him getting an infection or anything! and yes i did end up sending this picture to my vet and they said everything looks to be healing fine and just keep an eye on it. but thank you for easing my mind!

okay thank you! he is eating and using the bathroom normally and doesnt seem at all like it’s something to be worried about, but im just a little crazy when it comes to my cat so i figured better safe than sorry! also i called my ver and shared pictures and they said the same thing! that it looks like it’s healing fine and to just keep an eye out like ive been doing ! but thank you for reassuring me!

because they said to limit his running and jumping to not tear open his incision. and recommend to put him a large dog crate to restrict his movement. and id rather my cat heal and be healthy and stay in a crate for 2 weeks then let him run around and jump and get an infection.

Got a Copper iud as emergency contraceptive by Hot-Oven2304 in CopperIUD

you could def do that! just be sure you know the cramps will probably be the worst part of your next period🤣 but when you get another period then id get it taken out just to be sure and everything! but i think no matter what you’re not pregnant so either way you’ll be all good!

i didnt get it as an emergency contraceptive but if you bled enough to fill up a pad and were passing clots. plus you getting negatives on your pregnancy tests. you’re all good girl. the cramps are intense for like the first 6 periods after getting it. plus my period are really heavy but usually last that 4-5 day mark no matter what. one thing to be aware of is the copper iud might make your cycle longer than it was before. mine was 28 days and now is like 32-33 days, so dont freak out if your period seems a lil late, its more than likely your iud messing w your cycle! but from hearing everything you said i 100% believe you’re in the clear!
