Do I just wait for him to pass it? I have very long hair and a cat that is obsessed with me and sometimes grooms me while I’m sleeping. He’s precious, but now I see one of my own hairs sticking out of his butthole! AH!

If it was a thread, I know emergency vet is the way to go since that could contract and slice up his insides- but what do I do about human hair?? I’m an islander so it’s not like soft soft, like I’ve got a bit of texture and thickness, but uhhh…do I pull it out? Do I wait for him to poop? Do I go to the emergency vet?!?!

Help

Where can I get a sphynx cat in VA?

Please only respond if you're from Germany.

My sphynx is 6 years old and the only chronic illness he has is issues with his gastrointestinal tract, like every other sphynx has. I have it almost under control with the correct vet-recommended medical food, and daily medicine to help him digest and absorb the food properly.

Now I'm looking for insurance just to be safe, in case it should come to any surgeries, especially with their teeth because they are prone to getting FORL, which needs expensive tooth extractions. Since I'm a student who lives alone (I had my cat already when I was still living with my parents), my budget for the month is always very tight, I struggle all the time with monthly bills. I can barely go out with friends and spend some money on take out food because my most expenses are on my cat and my hamster (hamster isn't much, just the food sometimes).

Do you know a cheap, yet good insurance that covers most things? Most important for me is that they at least cover 3-GOT.

Important: I already tried HanseMerkur, but they only take in my cat WITHOUT tooth insurance inclusive because he's over 5 years old. But I need it with.

Most other insurances don't cover expenses with chronic illnesses that are known of which is frustrating. Lassie is one of them.

Enjoy this video I did with my lovely Sesame (ahem... victim) :)

This is Mewtwo, she is 4 years old and she is my everything ❤️

This just appeared today. It's a half cantimeter, firm bump. It can slide and move (not fixed). She's still happy and playful, good energy levels. Do you have any idea what this might be? (She is not neutered, 6 month female. She has a 3 yr neutered big sister)

My 5yr old male’s HCM has progressed rapidly. He was diagnosed over 1.5 years ago. Two months ago he was diagnosed with CHF at his cardiology checkup even though his breaths per minute was 23. He was put on furosemide and sprinonolactone twice a day, fortekor, and his clopidogrel was changed to daily. He’s also on hills z/d kibble which is low in sodium.

At his checkup last week I told the I could still still see his jugular and heart beating which was the only sign of him entering CHF last time. It took a week to get his xray results and found out today he is back in CHF. Only change to meds is to add a midday dose of furosemide. I can tell in the past two days he is not himself. He’s eating well and still jumping but he has slowed down.

I have questions for you guys…

1. I want to say goodbye before he has a full crisis, but I don’t know what to expect. How will I know? I’d rather he pass peacefully too early than horribly too late.
2. Why isn’t the cardiologist prescribing Pimobendan?
3. From all the diuretics he is on, his skin feels really dry and I can see him twitching his skin. He’s never needed moisturizer before. Is rubbing coconut oil on the skin on his back safe for cats with CHF?

Thank you. HCM really sucks.

As you can see, Miss Maude loves to claw at our bedding. We were lucky to adopt her at 2yo and whenever she takes a nap in our bed, she claws her way under the covers and rests her head on the pillow. Maybe something she learned at her last home. And when we go to bed at night, we let her under the blanket and she comes up to lay the same way with her back against one of us.

Help! We got a new sphinx baby and he is PERFECT. We’re trying to get him introduced to the dogs though and it has not gone so well. Our smaller dog is TERRIFIED of him but our bigger dog is growling. I’ve sat him in his carrier and sat him on the couch with them and our bigger dog is fine with that but whenever we try to lose the carrier the hissing starts and then the dogs growling. This has been a nightmare so far, luckily we have an extra bedroom and have been able to isolate along with alternating the dogs outside so he gets plenty of free roam time

Warm comforter? Yes, ma'am!
