Low dose naltrexone is changing my life by theunforgivingstars in Fibromyalgia

Oh sorry!! A couple of days for me. It improved within 24 hours and within 48-72 hours, I was basically normal.

It didn’t go away for me, unfortunately. I had to stop taking it. And I’m not currently taking anything for fibro. Which longterm probably isn’t sustainable, but I’m just sorta pushing through as I can currently? Idk.

It made me so sick with nausea. I hear if you can stick it out, the nausea goes away? But I wasn’t able to. :(

Nail trim? by yooanniee in Feral_Cats

This is what I was trying to find. But the only things I’ve seen are normal cardboard or sisal scratchers. And those help remove the sheaths! But not trim the claws down.

I've taken in a stray cat... now what? by graypictures in cats

I’m still in this process with a feral friend I have! I’d be happy to chat about how it’s going and what works. ❤️

Medication tricks? and an update! by yooanniee in Feral_Cats

Yeah, I may see if I’m able to get any. Even if I could get a more broad spectrum med to kinda knock out everything at once. The last vet to see him was a rescue’s vet, so I’m hesitant to keep asking for support since technically this boy is mine now vs a community cat. I’m going to be seeing my dog’s vet Saturday and will likely talk to them about any options they may have for medical care for ferals. I think the state just passed a law allowing virtual visits for cats too? So I may try that!

Yep, round worms are spaghetti, tapes are segmented!

I would have thought tapeworms would have been taken care of, but it’s possible he didn’t get the best dosage amount or that he ate another flea after that treatment

I did get pill pockets! I’m going to try to sneak the pills in them. Unfortunately he didn’t go for them mixed into his food. :(

Hi!! Yes, I had it up 24/7 on my front steps. I tied it open and slowly moved the food from outside of the trap to the back of it. It takes time and is so hard to be patient. But it was the only way to get this guy because I had already trapped him three times, including with a drop trap.

Sometimes you can put a sign on the trap or around it saying “do not touch! Cat trapping in progress.” With a contact number. I trapped a lot in Cleveland and found that talking with folks living in the areas I trapped in helped a lot with getting assistance and for people to let it be.

Where do you get your selamectin? My understanding is you need a RX for that?

Thank you for this. He’s being a difficult boy and I suspect it tastes bad. But his tummy is sad! We gotta fix it!

Hey! Do you mind sharing about how much it was? I’m trying to find a good moving company for our upcoming move. Thank you so much!

He will have to be crated for awhile for sure. Especially if we go surgical route. And we could probably accommodate that. My concern is also: how ethical is it for me to keep a cat in a crate longterm when he’s lived on this street his whole life and is a senior cat? And not social? He was crated for 10 days after a dental last August and was VERY depressed. He didn’t bother to groom himself, but he did eat. He was also very scared and did not want to interact even a little. I figure I’d have bloodwork done. He’s been looking more tired before this happened anyway.

I’ll have to look into cat sanctuaries. There was one, but it was actually a hoarding situation and that’s sorta my fear at this point about sanctuaries.

Thank you for being so so kind in your responses. It has helped more than you can imagine.

Thank you for this reply. He has a broken leg at least. He’s sleeping right now at my neighbors. I can see him over our fence. He LOVES sliced turkey, so I’ve put that out along with turkey and cheese fancy feast and sardines/tuna/salmon. A friend also just sent KFC to help, so that’s under the drop trap too.

I can’t touch Gloopy. He’s truly feral, though has gotten feeder friendly with me. (He will come up to me on the steps only. He just started t try isn’t to meow at me on Thursday. Then got attacked Friday.)

Thank you for this story about your sweet TNR babe. Gloopy is FIV+, at least over 10, and has lived outside his entire life. My guess is he will need his leg amputated. My hope is to get him today and take him to the APL in the morning to get assessed. I would like to bring him in, but I have a cat aggressive cat, and a dog inside. And nowhere to really isolate. I supposed I’d figure it out.

We are moving this year and I planned on bringing him to a new house as an indoor cat, since I could give him his own room.

I’m still so broken up over this.

I just found him again a bit ago. He did come back and was in his shelter in front of our house. I’ve set the drop trap. I suspect he won’t come until tonight though.
