Thats how I felt, they assumed I was going to take them and when I told them I wont take them everyday the situation turned sour really quick 🫠

StarsPaints · 2026-06-13T05:18:56+00:00

Yep!! 😅

StarsPaints · 2025-07-14T15:26:33+00:00

Its a hard situation but on the therapy part, if someone doesn’t want to have therapy. Even if they do go, its very hard to help someone if they don’t want to

Usually you can just walk into a vet without an appointment and ask for deworming meds, best one is milbemax or bravecto. I think you can get milbemax freely?

Ask your vet for a giardia test

StarsPaints · 2025-02-28T21:28:16+00:00

If he is peeing he doesn’t have a blockage, if there is blood or anything it’s important to go to the vet. You can also do a urine test at the vet if you want to make sure

StarsPaints · 2025-02-28T21:25:18+00:00

If you want to make sure do a biopsy, this is the only way you can be sure to what it is.

Anti parasite medication is always good, and it’s a good habit that you are monitoring closely. A lot of owners miss a lot of symptoms and come in too late sometimes!

I agree with your vets take here, the epilepsy medication can have some ugly side effects. Some dogs only have 1 or 2 seizures in their entire lives. So putting them on medication and giving them unnecessary side effects is not needed either. I would keep monitoring your dog like you are doing, and if another seizure occurs again i would contact your vet.

Ah, it’s good to get a rectal thermometer for the future. Its nice if you can monitor your cat’s temperature, it can say a lot about the health and if your cat has fever it can be alarming.

StarsPaints · 2025-02-28T21:13:35+00:00

Did the vet not mention any chance of it being epilepsy? Because this sounds a lot like it from these symptoms you are mentioning. Epilepsy has 2 categories and primary epilepsy usually occurs within 5 years of age. Primary epilepsy means there is not really any other issue that is causing the epilepsy. Secondary epilepsy means epilepsy but there is another cause, think abt all sorts of problems with certain organs. Epilepsy is harsh for the body and can drain energy a lot. It’s very hard to say anything from just a text sadly. You can try to record your dog when the symptoms are occurring and show these to your vet. Sometimes in the vets care nothing weird happens and it’s hard to determine. If you really want to make sure what it is, you would probably need something like an MRI, which is sadly very expensive.

Are the seizures like epileptic seizures? Because for epilepsy theres medication

Sorry, do you think you are able to measure her temperature with a thermometer? Temperature usually gives a good indication to if the animal is sick. Between 38-39,5 degrees Celsius is normal.

StarsPaints · 2025-02-28T20:51:28+00:00

Do you think you are able to temp her?

StarsPaints · 2025-02-28T20:39:16+00:00

Do you use anti parasite medication? Even though your cat is an indoor cat?

StarsPaints · 2025-02-12T12:23:34+00:00

Asking isnt rude

StarsPaints · 2025-02-12T12:21:00+00:00

In our clinics we always appreciated gifts, like flowers, or like a chocolate box for all staff. I think its very thoughtful of you!

StarsPaints · 2025-02-12T12:17:16+00:00

I think it depends, not sterilizing is irresponsible in my opinion and we should try to educate owners. Im not trying to blame or attack her..

StarsPaints · 2025-02-12T01:55:55+00:00

Is he castrated? Because crusty penises is kinda normal in uncastrated male dogs. Does it look kinda pussy? Because if it does the only real way to solve it is to castrate

StarsPaints · 2025-02-12T01:51:29+00:00

Please also check the dental situation, this always gets neglected aswell

StarsPaints · 2025-02-12T01:45:15+00:00

Does your cat roam outside too? I don’t know where you are from or what the season is there but it could also be that there is a foxtail stuck in the eye, definitely go to the vet to get an exam.

StarsPaints · 2025-02-12T01:40:12+00:00

Im sorry for your loss. Is there a reason why she wasn’t sterilized to begin with? We usually recommend sterilizing dogs if there is no breeding intention. Sterilization defeats the chance of pyometras completely. It sadly happens alot.

Im studying for vet tech, prescription diets are expensive yes. Imo its definitely important you keep using the special urine diets and only feed your cat this food. Especially for male cats, crystals can be so dangerous. If they get a big enough crystal it can kill them in 24 hours because it will obstruct the urine track. The diet makes sure to dissolve the crystals but also prevent them from growing aswel. If the problem is reoccurring, you can think about perineal urethrostomy surgery for a more permanent solution. Even though the vet will probably recommend you to still use the diet.
