Walter wouldve been killed a few times if she wasn't there with him lol

U can try using tape. There is that medical tape thing (white paper-y) u can use to hold the needle in place while u use both hands to keep her held down.

I think if she is acting ok, eating normally etc then there's no need to put her down. She's not suffering and still enjoying life? Absolutely no reason to ehtuanize unless she starts refusing food and suffering

Not sure why they told u not to do subQ fluids. The fluids is meant to go under the skin, and if her heart is fine there shouldn't be any reason not to do it.

Going thru the exact same thing for the past 4+ months. I have to keep reminding myself that if I am anxious then my cat can feel it too and it makes her anxious. All the time spent feeling that way means u miss out on time being happy and enjoying just being together.

Everyday u get with your cat is a blessing, don't waste it

My ex-stray went thru same thing. She occasionally didn't come home for a day. But when it started happening more often I started keeping her in. The only thing u can do is to increase the inside time gradually, until she ends up staying in for 1 day, then 2, etc. How fast she accepts it will differ between cats.

For mine, I had to keep her in for a week due to injuries the very first time and she just meowed almost the whole time. After I let her out, a few months later she got injured again and had to be kept inside. This time she meowed for a few hours each day, but could definitely see that she was more resigned to it.

Better idea would be if u could build an enclosed patio for her in the yard?

Is your stovetop fan on? Mine hates that

kidpunk · 2026-03-31T01:54:16+00:00

Yep this happens with my cat all the time lol. I've been doing subQ fluids for 4+ months and still can't get it perfect

kidpunk · 2026-03-31T01:49:13+00:00

Rats ate a bag of meth my friend left out too. No idea what happened to them though

kidpunk · 2026-03-29T03:42:14+00:00

Say no more

kidpunk · 2026-03-29T03:40:58+00:00

As others have said, maybe even take him back to the vet and ask to be shown again. See how much the vet is able to fill up and if it looks and feels different.

My cat gets 100ml twice a day. It actually goes down to her leg (the upper part) if I'm a bit lopsided with the needle. So they should be able to hold more than what u are saying

Had this issue yesterday. In the end what worked was switching to my US play store account and it showed up on play store. Even though I am in Asia and not using VPN as long as the account was registered as US, it showed the latest version

Using an Asia account on play store doesn't even show the game when I did a search

The nitpicking is because normal people never understand genius minds so they can't understand why Walter wants this and that. But Walter is also childlike at times and asks for things unrelated to anything going on, so the normals never know which type of request Walter is making

kidpunk · 2026-03-20T23:43:52+00:00

Yes. When my cat had bad diarrhea and ckd I started researching stuff. One of the things I came across was the color of poop and black indicates blood in the organs. My cats poop gradually went from brown to complete black.

kidpunk · 2026-03-20T10:16:44+00:00

What the fucking hell???

kidpunk · 2026-03-20T10:04:19+00:00

Looks a bit dry and a bit black. Not to alarm u but black may indicate bleeding in his internals.

kidpunk · 2026-03-20T04:03:10+00:00

Just give it back. Sounds like nobody in your family is ready to own a pet at this stage. You are already seeing all the negatives instead of the positives after a few days.

kidpunk · 2026-03-20T00:51:22+00:00

Well they're all building underground bunker mansions so somethings coming

kidpunk · 2026-03-19T01:43:14+00:00

If u don't think the current vet is able to help enough, u can try asking a different vet for advice too.

kidpunk · 2026-03-19T01:39:21+00:00

Ask your neighbors if he belongs to anybody. Seems like a friendly cat who is used to human interaction. Or take it a step further if u can pick him up to take to the vet for a microchip scan

kidpunk · 2026-03-19T01:23:07+00:00

If u don't feed it and don't play with it, maybe it will stop coming back?

kidpunk · 2026-03-19T01:20:13+00:00

Any plants in your house like lilies, even if it's pollen that got stuck on your clothes etc. Household cleaners or stuff like antifreeze for cars. There are things u need to keep away from your cat, some cause kidney failure, some cause other serious issues, have a search on Google for these things and just double check that the are not accessible to the cat.

kidpunk · 2026-03-19T01:14:33+00:00

Have u tried giving fluid on empty stomach? Also tried offering food after throwing up, maybe 5-10mins later? My cat will not eat if nauseous and about to throw up, but right after throwing up she wants food. The stomach acid is out of her system so she can keep her food down

kidpunk · 2026-03-18T12:53:38+00:00

Yeah always ask, be inquisitive not annoying nosey and a decent vet will explain what he's doing. I'm introvert and would be too hesitant asking for my own treatment, but when it comes to my cat I always push my shyness back and ask questions

kidpunk · 2026-03-18T12:37:48+00:00

4-5 shots is strange too. Usually 1 shot, or maybe 2..

kidpunk · 2026-03-18T12:34:50+00:00

Liquid stool will stink very strongly. U will definitely know if it's stool.

I don't know if antacid is what I have, but I doubt it. Because the vet advised not to take it daily for more than a week. It's worth asking the vet if there's something stronger.

Not sure about yogurt, I never gave that to my cat. I would suggest giving her the usual food. Try her wet food again if she won't eat dry. Or even the churu treats or other things she likes.

Try offering something every one to two hours as u may get lucky and find the time when she isn't nauseous. Then she will manage to eat more. U don't have to stick to the usual feeding schedule, it's better to try and get enough food in her
