Cat Health

um... can you reword or add some specificity as to what kind of death such as heart conditions, diabetes, cancer, etc.?? there are way too many ways to die to list them all here let alone signs of them all.

sorry, wiki on :)

A hot and dry nose in a cat is not usually a reliable indicator of their health status. a cat's nose temperature can fluctuate based on their level of activity, the environment they are in, or even just normal variations throughout the day. To monitor your cat's health, it is best to observe their overall behavior, eating habits, and litter box usage. If you notice any other concerning symptoms, it's best to consult with a veterinarian.

There is no designated number of times that a cat needs to mate to get pregnant. Just like a human, a female cat may or may not get pregnant on the first try, or consecutive tries. However, cats can get pregnant throughout their heat cycles, and tend to keep mating. This means that it is possible for kittens in the same litter to have different fathers!

A black growth on a cat's nose could be a benign condition like pigmentation changes or it could be a more serious issue like a skin tumor. It is best to have a veterinarian examine the growth to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

It depends on the bone structure of the cat. A domestic cat can weigh about 6 to 10 pounds, on average, depending on the size of its bones. If you can see your cat's ribs easily and without having to touch the cat's side, it is probably underweight. If it is underweight, it may also be underactive, due to lack of energy. If he or she is not eating regularly, you might need to take the cat to a veterinarian. There could be something as simple as a hairball causing the problem, or something more serious. See the Related Link below for a visual guide to your cat's weight.

No, phenoxybenzamine is not typically used to treat urinary issues in cats. It is primarily used to manage conditions like hypertension and certain behavioral disorders. If your cat is having trouble urinating, it is important to consult a veterinarian to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

To protect outside cats from mosquito bites, you can:

1. Create a mosquito-free area by using mosquito repellents or citronella candles.
2. Provide your cat with a well-ventilated shelter or outdoor bed where they can rest mosquito-free.
3. Use cat-safe mosquito repellents or sprays on your cat's fur, but make sure it is safe for felines.

Cats can typically weigh between 5 to 20 pounds, depending on their breed, sex, and overall size. Some larger breeds, like Maine Coons, can weigh up to 25 pounds or more. It's important to monitor your cat's weight to ensure they stay at a healthy range.

It appears you may be referring to different types of ear shapes found in different animals. Big ears are commonly found in animals like elephants and rabbits, while tear-drop shaped ears are often seen in dogs like bloodhounds. Cat ears are unique to felines and are known for their pointed shape and ability to rotate towards sounds.

Oh, dude, iodine is generally safe for cats in small amounts, but it can be toxic if ingested in large quantities. So, like, if your cat has a wound and you wanna use iodine, just make sure they don't lick it off like it's a tasty treat. Maybe distract them with some catnip or something.

Throwing up in cats can be serious if it happens frequently, is accompanied by other symptoms like lethargy or loss of appetite, or if there is blood in the vomit. It is important to monitor your cat's behavior and consult a veterinarian if you have concerns about their vomiting.

It's a bully or a thug

Mold on cat feces is usually due to environmental factors like high humidity or damp litter. It can also be a sign of improper storage of food or litter. Check your cat's environment for moisture and cleanliness to prevent mold growth and ensure your cat's health.

A cat that is breathing heavily, lethargic, and only moves when picked up may be experiencing a serious medical emergency. It is important to seek immediate veterinary attention to determine the underlying cause of these symptoms and provide appropriate treatment. Do not delay in getting your cat the help it needs.

Your cat's hair loss could be due to a variety of reasons such as stress, allergies, parasites, or skin infections. It's best to consult with a veterinarian to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment for your cat's hair loss.

That it's not pathological.

Murmurs are caused by turbulence, in childhood turbulence is just a signal for the body to get larger (at that place) .... unless it's caused by a error in anatomy or a problem with the valves.

Only someone with good ears and lots of practice can tell them apart.

If you're referring to a wound the best way to tell is swelling, pus and the wound not healing quickly. If you think your cat has an infection of any sort (even if you're not completely sure) take to a Vet.

The rule of thumb with kittens is to feed as much as they'll eat. Keep dry food out all the time and give canned food as well. Canned food is higher in calories which is better for kittens. If your kitten is thin you can mix KMR (a kitten formula)with their food or Hill prescription diet A/D food (buy it at your vet)

do not leave the food out all day since bacteria will be formed on it and your kitten will suffer from diarrhea because of the bacteria, mine had that due to bacteria and diet change , and never give her canned food with preservation designed for human beings and of course a very low fat diet or no fats at all in food would be better , a kitten should be fed 3-4 times daily . good luck

The cat may have feline acne, which can cause bumps on the chin and hair loss. This condition can be triggered by stress, poor grooming, or an allergic reaction. It is best to take the cat to a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Scurf is the technical term for the small, dry flakes of skin that can be shed from the scalp. It is often associated with dandruff and can be caused by various factors, including dry skin, fungal infections, or skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema. Treatment typically involves using medicated shampoos or topical ointments to help manage the underlying cause.

Cats can often make strange noises while they sleep, but it doesn't necessarily mean they're in pain. Squealing noises can be normal dreaming behavior or even part of the sleep cycle. However, if you notice other signs of distress when your cat is awake such as limping, changes in appetite, or restlessness, it's always best to consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues.

Seizures in cats 'A seizure is an involuntary, paroxysmal disturbance of brain function usually manifested as uncontrolled muscular activity and a loss of consciousness.' (Source: Textbook of Small Animal Medicine. Edited by John Dunn, Published by W.B. Saunders 1999). Epilepsy is usually used to describe idiopathic seizures (where there is no known cause); however, in cats most cases, seizures are a secondary complication from conditions such as tumours, infection or poisoning.

In order to treat the seizures, the cause must be determined. Seizures in cats are quite rare so your vet may not have even come across them before. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION When a female cat is lactating and feeding several kittens she may be unable to ingest and convert calcium at an adequate rate. If the cat has a calcium deficiency, it can cause seizure like symptoms (jerking shaking movement, eyes unfocused, foaming at the mouth). A vet can correct the problem by injecting the cat. DO NOT feed the cat regular cows milk as a supplement. This will only create additional problems.

Sometimes over feeding can cause a cat to have seizers or if they have a heart desease or any liver damage. ANSWER A female cat may have a seizure while nursing her young. This is primarily caused by a calcium deficiency and can be corrected by a shot from the vet. Our vet admonished us NOT to give the cat regular cow's milk.

My 10 wk old kitten was diagnosed with colic by my vet yesterday and he now has to eat just one type of dry food only. He was on royal canin dry with several meals of sachet food plus white fish occasionally but the vet said the colic was caused by too many different foods. He also had treats, his favourite being ham. He's now on royal canin weaning only which luckily he likes. Its too soon to say if this will work but he's fine so far. It is hard refusing him all the nice foods he loves especially as i have 4 other cats that he sees eating them but it was even harder seeing him in pain from colic so i have to be cruel to be kind. The vet said to keep him on the dry food for 3 wks so I'm hoping after that i will be able to re-introduce some wet food altho if the colic comes back then he will stay on the dry.
