How long does cat wear cone after declawing?

Normally until the sutures come out, which is around 10-14 days. Most cats take out their own sutures :0). You can also take off the cone and try putting a bitter apple cream around the suture area, not on the sutures but around it to keep the cat from licking at the suture area excessively. Best to do what your Veterinarian told you to do.


Your cat was just spayed and she is now licking her stitches Is this normal or should you go get an Elizabethean collar from your vet asap?

It depends how long after the cat was spayed (your vet would have given you instructions as to when to bring in your cat for a checkup.) I did put a small collar on my own cat because of her licking her stitches. Be sure there are no stitch ends poking into the cats skin. I would take the collar off when she was eating or drinking. Some vets disagree, but the saliva of cats and dogs is healing and they used this method when they were once wild. Some cats will heal quicker than others, so it wouldn't hurt if your cat started licking her stitches 3 - 4 days after being spayed to take your pet to the vets.


If a cat licks topic medicine will she get sick?

I am assuming you meant "topical medicine" not "topic medicine." For those who may not know what is meant by a "topical medicine" - it is a medicine which is applied to the exterior of a cat (or a human or dog, etc.) The opposite of topical is "systemic." Systemic refers to inside the cat or in the cat's systems. An example of a systemic medicine is a pill which you would give to your cat to swallow. There are some topical medicines which can be applied to one part of the cat but not to another. For example, there might be a medicine that you can put on a cut or scratch but not on the cat's eye. Whether or not is is safe to apply a topical medicine to any part of your cat depends upon the medicine and where you are going to apply it. One rule to follow when putting any medicine on your cat is: Anything that goes on a cat will go into the cat. That means that if you put something on your cat, they will very likely lick it and thus it will go inside of them - thus a topically applied medicine will become a systemic medicine because the cat licks it and perhaps swallows it or it is absorbed by the tissues in the cat's mouth. Some topical medications may be dangerous if the cat takes them systemically. Even if the medicine is safe to put on the cat it might not be safe if the cat were to lick it and take it internally. Such medications would not be used on a cat or would only be used if an Elizabethan collar was used to prevent the cat licking the area to which the topical medication was applied. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabethan_collar Be aware that Elizabethan collars do not always prevent a cat from licking a wound. Sometimes they are able to reach the area even with the collar and sometimes they can get the collars off. Always check with a vet before putting any type of medicine on your cat that your vet has not given to you for that purpose. As to one particular medication - it is okay to put Neosporin on a cut or scratch as long as the cut or scratch is not a really deep one. Neosporin is safe but Neosporin Plus is not safe to use on your cat. However, you should always check with your vet when your cat is injured.

Can a Miniature Pinscher wear a cat's collar?

Absolutely! There is no reason they can't wear a cats collar, a collar is a collar. Some cat collars are special breakaway collars though which means it might come off easy.


What is different about a breakaway collar than normal collars?

A breakaway collar is designed to break apart if there is intense pressure on it. So if for example your cat got the collar hooked on something instead of being stuck and possibly choking to death the collar would break open and the cat would be free.

Should a collar on cat be loose or firm?

I think as a 9 year old you should keep a cats collar on firmly so it does not fall off. But make sure it's comfortable for your cat! Somewhere in between where the collar will not just fall off by accident, but loose enough so that the cat can get it off in case of an emergency. If you get one of the breakaway type of cat collars it will help. Another tip is to put your index finger between the cat's neck and collar after putting it on. If your finger fits easily, without causing gasping or stress on the cat's part, then it is in a good position. Check it using this method as the cat grows to make sure it does not become too small and uncomfortable.


Can fleas take the goodness from a cat?

No it cannot take the goodness from a cat. I have 2 cats and when they were kittens, they had fleas. Just if you were asking about your cats, just every night, clean them thoroughly to get off all the fleas and give them a flea collar, it's like a rubber band that wraps around their neck loosely so they don't check. Don't worry, they cannot take anything from a cat. No, of course not! Just get some flea medicine/collar, or take your cat to the vet, and you can get rid of the fleas. Your cat will be the same, although probably a lot more comfortable after the fleas are gone.

How do you get fleas off pet?

Neutered cat keeps removing his e-collar by opening the clasp on his safety collar. How do you keep it on?

Honestly, with luck and prayer. Cats are notorious for disliking E-collars and will devote hours to working to get the collar off. One idea would be to check the length of the E-collar - it should reach from where it rests on the cat's neck to about 1mm past the end of his nose. If the E-collar is too long, he's much more likely to fight it and pull it off. You could also tape the clasp closed, with the understanding that the clasp is there to prevent your cat from hanging himself on his collar if he gets caught by it.


Will flea collar and medication get rid of fleas if cat already has them?

Yes - the medication impregnated in the flea collar is designed to kill off any existing infestation - and deter fleas from landing on the animal in future.
