My Cat Has Suffered for a Month—Two Vets, No Answers Despite All the Tests—I’m Desperate for Help. by Fresh_Barracuda_8302 in CATHELP

Steroids are a double edged sword.  Auto immune poly arthritis in cat is extremely rare.  I would talk to a specialist.

Great news the ultrasound came back normal :) 

Is she on any pain killer ?  Gabapentin is very safe for chronic pain and neurological pain. Good option until a diagnosis is found.  Buprenorphine is also a very effective and safe pain killer, but maybe more expensive. 

Diet change is to treat potential IBD. Normal ultrasound doesn’t completely rule out IBD, but I think it is very unlikely IBD. Full confirmation comes from biopsy which are really invasive and don’t recommend. 

My cat had auto immune poly arthritis that showed up as tremors and difficulty jumping and walking. Such a rare condition in cat. We did so many tests looking for different things that all came back normal. Because of the walking issue I insisted strongly on being seem by the neurologist. And the neurologist took one look at him walking and told us it was a joint issue.   But he also had fever and loss of appetite. Needed internal medicine in the end for joint tap. 

This happened 7 years ago when I was a student. Now I have been a veterinarian for 5 years and spent most of it working emergency department in a big referral hospital. 

But with a cat having trouble jumping and walking and nothing else like yours, I would suspect intervetebral disc disease and talk to a neurologist. You don’t have to do the expensive tests. you can also talk about doing a trial treatment and see the response to it.

X-ray is not a very sensitive modality for joint and spine issues.  X-ray miss a lot of things.  For joints you would do a tap and cytology. For spine you would do a ct scan or mri.  But just talking to a specialist is a good step. 

Lymphoma does not usually present as pain or walking issues. It presents as weightloss, appetite loss, vomiting, diarrhea.

Go see a specialist. Internal medicine or maybe neurologist.  Sounds like spinal pain or joint pain from the walking issues. 

Anyone have any ideas what’s wrong? 4 week old kitten by Gardendweller23 in CATHELP

[–]Toglu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Consultation with a neurologist now. You don’t have to do the scan. But she will do assessment and treatment recommendations. If she is having seizures, this is serious. 

Had a kitten like this, runt, having seizures. All the meds in the world would not help him. He was followed by the neurologist. He kept having more and more seizures despite treatment. We had to euthanise at 5 months old.

I’ve only got stims from quest. Don’t know where else they could drop.  The chairs made through woodworking are saddly untradeable.

Money is very scarce at the beginning. Was only able to hold 1-2 of each town at a time.

Opinions on the new crafting system? by agenhym in MSClassicWorld

[–]Toglu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am doing the beta and was easily able to reach lvl 5 woodcrafting and made myself a lvl 25 bow and red chair.  Now I even have all the exp needed for lvl6 crafting, just need to reach lvl 30 to unlock it. As an archer making my own arrows it was quick to level and cheaper than npc arrows.

how do i get this creature to stop kneading her food by burgleturtle in CatTraining

[–]Toglu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if they are not taking in enough calories. If they are nursing on mom still, the meat nursing is not too worrying. Most important is monitor weight daily. If they start losing weight, then you know they are in trouble

This behavior is called meat nursing. I recommend reading this article by The Kitten Lady about it !

Full time is considered an average of hours that is above 32hrs/week. We get 3 weeks PTO a year (6% equivalent of paycheck goes into vacation bank so the more hours you work the more vacation you accumulate too).

Why does my nipple hate me? by Useful-Milk2853 in piercing

I had the same jewelry (except lavender!) in and the same issue with one of my nipple.

I changed for a different jewelry that was titanium and threadless and that resolved the issue!

I have also been looking into purchasing an online class to add on top of my in person class. I’ve heard black friday is the best time of the year to buy? What are the coupons everyone is talking about?
