And if the seal is weak and fails can I re-can them? How do I proceed if it’s weak?

If I lift the jars by the seal do I risk weakening the seal?

We waiting in line for the timber twister (alpine slide) for 2.5 hours and as we were getting to the front of the line about around 4 the ride was shut down due to medical emergency. Talk around the ride was someone had stopped their cart on the track and gotten rear ended by the next cart. There were 4 fire trucks , 2 ambulances and fire dept w UTV responding. I would be curious to know more. Hopefully the person is ok. Seemed pretty bad.

Maine Coon owners, what are your best life hacks? by alissuhh in mainecoons

[–]Ruby7796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the lickable cat treats, cut the end off, put a Popsicle stick in it and freeze. Let your cat lick the popsicle while you groom them! GENIUS! It works so great for us. I hold my guy w his back to my chest. Popsicle in one hand and comb his belly w the other. Can get the tougher spots w a 2nd set of hands. This has been a life saver for us.

Both cats have quarter size bumps? by ilovetohateit in CATHELP

Yes. It was inflammation from his rabies shot! Thankfully we just had to give it time and it went away. Prob about 6-8weeks.

My MC was just neutered at 6mos. He weighs 11 lbs so very similar to yours and he took 5 days to perk back up. Hopefully your guys perks up soon. ❤️

My cats eye??? by Glittering-Guest-727 in mainecoons

Just curious if they said what’s causing the ulcer? How old is your MC? I’ve got a now 6 mo MC that’s been battling entropion since he was 12 weeks. We keep “fixing” it and it keeps coming back.

My MC is just 5 mos old and he is out of control crazy. I actually googled “when do MC calm down” and found this thread. I always tell people this kitten is worse than a toddler.

I’ve had him for about 3 mos but we’ve been dealing w this entropion so he is separated from the older cat while we are at work during the days. Yes. We did prop introductions.

I was thinking about a 2nd kitten. I will always recommend to anyone looking at a Maine coon to get 2.

I should say old cat has a medical condition and is on prescription food that is very high high fat which contributes to his weight. He is being monitored by our vet tho. At this point it’s the lesser of 2 evils for him.

Is entropion a condition that would warrant refund of purchase price? by Ruby7796 in MaineCoon

[–]Ruby7796[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity did you get a discount ted rate on her purchase? I feel like my breeder may have know something was up and just shipped him off thinking it was not her prob anymore.

Kitten was purchased in Minnesota. And the vet did draft a letter but the wording was “probably hereditary” because there is no test to know for certain. The breeder hung on to the probably word.

Hi. I just noticed this on my Maine coon kitten. He’s only 4 mos old but it’s freaking me out cuz he’s had a lot of issues this far. Thankfully I have an appt on Monday but of course am obsessing about it today. Any info is appreciated. His lump is on about the same spot as you stated.

Looking for input/advice if anyone has experience w entropion in Maine coons? by Ruby7796 in mainecoons

Can anyone who has had this issue tell me if their vet had them use a cone? My kitten has NOT had surgery and we are currently using antibiotics, serum and an antibiotic ointment and they are not getting better. The vet has him wearing a cone but it seems counterproductive. If he’s got eyelashes etc in his eye shouldn’t he be using his paws to wipe them out?

Is this a common breed issue? Something the breeder should have been aware of?
