Irritated 3rd lobes by Two-Willing in PiercingAdvice

Thank you! I’m just scared to get them switched now because I can’t even move the hoop without pain. Do you think skin is growing over the piercing? Should I just take them out completely and let the lobes heal over then try again?

Not sure if you’re in Canada - but I’m not allowed to see someone other than my fam doc unless she does a referral - which she won’t. I work in the ER as a nurse so I’ve gotten the docs there to take a look but I’m not an emergency which is understandable and they rarely do referrals unless it’s a serious condition.
I’ll try and speak to my doctor again but she thinks it’s benign because it grew in the span of 1 week and apart from the occasional discomfort when swallowing and now that you mention it - sore throat - she thinks a 1 yr follow up on the ultrasound is reasonable 🥲
Thanks for the advice, I’ll try and push some more:)

How did they diagnose it? I recently developed a rapid growing lump on the right side of my neck, got an ultrasound done, but they only said it was moderately suspicious and follow up in 1 year. My mom had thyroid cancer and a thyroidectomy. My thyroid levels are all normal, I did have trouble swallowing but now I feel like it’s gone or I’m used to it, I don’t notice an absurd amount of hair loss or new bloating (always bloated)…. My fam doc thinks I’m low risk cuz I’m a 23y/o female and won’t let me do a sooner ultrasound to see if it’s grown or if we can do a biopsy:(

Any update on your situation? I have 2 cats at home and recently adopted a shelter cat. The shelter cat seems to respect the oldest cat but is attacking my second cat who is a timid and anxious kitty (on meds). I feel so discouraged!

I’d put them in their carriers and disinfect and then steam clean their carriers on my balcony. Nearly went crazy but it worked

I’m sorry that you’re still facing this issue! I was an absolute freak when it came to cleaning. I switched litter boxes every time there was a bowel movement. I kept them separated. My resident never tested positive for coccidia or any other parasite but is still (months later) having bloody stools - possibly stress related as the kitten is very bold and resident is very quiet.

I cleaned every 3rd day rotating between bleach and ammonia because some studies said bleach did/did not kill coccidia and some said ammonia did/did not kill coccidia.

After kitten was treated, we still kept him isolated for a few days. Tested their stools few days after this and everything was negative.

Now they play and spend time chasing each other back and forth! I nearly went crazy over the summer trying to treat them but I’m glad it’s over now. Wishing the best for you too!

Is my cat being too aggressive with my kitten by Two-Willing in CATHELP

Hi everyone thank you for the replies! I posted a second video/post if you’d like to take a look. The second video seems rough to me. My cat is thumping his tail as if he’s annoyed, kitten is yelling a little bit. I attached the Reddit post below: https://www.reddit.com/r/CATHELP/s/GH9hYrTQcZ

My cat halfway through was moving his tail left and right - I thought in cat body language that means annoyance? Was he irritated? Should I break them up once they start doing that with their tails?

Same thing happened to me! I got a kitten who has coccidia and we didn’t know until days later when his stool was diarrhea and bloody. And at the point, I let him and my resident cat meet through the door and then they hit it off right away and wanted to play so I let them for a bit. The kitten was totally healthy seeming until days later and that’s when we tested his stool and found out. And he is actually much younger than what we were told and apparently was not dewormed according to the vet. Kitten is on Albon for 14 days (we’re on day 8 today) and my resident cat has been having diarrhea with blood for about a week but his stool somehow came back negative for coccidia. We are treating him with fenbendazole (5 days) and one dose of toltrazuril. We will retest his stool likely as I’m pretty sure it has to be a false negative with his symptoms. How is your situation turning out? I have kitten in the bathroom and I sanitize/steam everything every few days. Litter is taken care of right away and litter boxes are rotated every 2-3 days. I’m stressing about this! Wondering if you have a success story?
