We just got our cat neutered today, He looks so miserable. I feel so bad but it was for the best. If any one has any tips for me on his post surgery care I’d be so grateful. I love him so much! I hate to see him in pain. They did give me pain meds but told me not to start untill tomarrow.
A feral cat what I’ve been caring for recently suddenly attacked me when I tried to separate it from my brother’s other cat. The feral cat has always been very nice to me but for that split second apparently forgot I was a friend and took out it’s anger on my left hand (causing four serious puncture wounds which bled a lot) and required a visit to Urgent Care, a Tetanus shot and 10 days worth of double antibiotics (3 times day, which is 30 pills in total).
I discussed my concern about rabies infection with the doctor, but he said that rabies in cats are “exceedingly rare.” The nurse said that the Tetnus shot would “cover all the bases.”
The wounds are four fairly deep puncture wounds on my left hand (no veins appeared to have been cut, but the hand is very swollen and sore and took a few hours to fully coagulate).
What infections should I be worried about specific to feral cat bites, and should I keep the hand bandaged or leave it open to the air — while cleaning it daily?
The animal appears normal and does not show any external signs of rabies. But should I still get a PEP done as a precaution? It is pretty darn expensive (around $1500).
And if I needed to get a PEP done, where would I go to receive the 5 injections over 28-days? My primary care physician? Urgent care? The ER?
Hi yahoo answers can anyone tell me how much expensive to take care of cat.. And also give me some tips to give them good health…
I’m thinking of adopting a cat and was wondering around how much it costs to take care of them.
I know the basics : Food, liter, what else?
Is that it?
if yes, why? and how much would you pay for bimonthly newsletter ? on monthly basis?
a cat who is not well maintained. I was wondering if I could purchase an animal eye ointment to put on it. I realize the cat should be seen by a vet, but the owner is unaware of proper pet care. Need to be careful of owner.
The original mother is crying and looking for the newborns but when we tried 2 timss to get her close with her kiddnes she doesnt want them but she continues crying and looking for them. Doesnt she recognise her kittens because another cat is breastfeeding them? What can we do to bring mother and kittens together again?
Looking forward to getting a cat!
Do you also have any suggestions where I could by a kitten from a shelter?
My fiance and I are considering getting a kitten. We will be adopting from one of the local adoption agencies.
We would eventually like to get a dog, but feel that for right now we are not ready for a dog, but are for a kitten/cat. I figure a cat will besome what cheaper, right?
Do you own a dog and a cat? What is the difference in cost of care?
Thanks
