Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2005Sugar's Report
Well, yes, she has arthritis in her knees, so I will start putting glucosimine on everyone's food. I guess there is another med she can take if it gets worse. Her lip (rodent ulcer) and everything else is connected to allergies. We have kitty benedryl now. Hopefully a good freeze will help. Glad I took her in though because she had impacted anal glands! Very bad. Poor baby. It took a lot to empty them and then they put that medicine in there to flush them out. So that's how it turned out. 21.95 for the whole visit plus a couple of cans of food! I could not believe that. I hope this benedryl stuff helps. SHe has been VERY itchy. I hope a good freeze will also help. > Well, yes, she has arthritis in her knees, so I will start putting > glucosimine on everyone's food.

I'm so glad it wasn't anything serious. Purrs coming for Sugar to feel better quickly. Hugs, CatNipped Poor baby. Bet she feels a thousand times better now. I wouldn't mind a heavy frost myself. Tired of allergy season. Jo >> Well, yes, she has arthritis in her knees, so I will start putting >> glucosimine on everyone's food.

Karen, Glad to hear it sounds like things that can be dealt with. I've got a rodent ulcer kitty, too, Trill. What's the kitty benedryl called? might have to ask about that. You go, Sugar!

What's the kitty benedryl called? > might have to ask about that. it is chlorpheniramine. Very cheap. Take anywhere from 1/4 tab up to two tabs per day. 50% chance of helping. So we will see. I was surprised to see her lip had gone down quite a bit. The vet was thrilled about that; that it had gone down with no medication. How often does Trill get that? >> Karen, >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >her lip had gone down quite a bit. The vet was thrilled about that; that it >had gone down with no medication. How often does Trill get that? Thanks, Karen. I will have to ask about that. Trill has had it several times. He has it now, but I just haven't been able to afford to get it taken care of, since Sabra being sick, Brando's dental work, vaccinations, and Arthur's neuter and x-ray were higher on my list. Trill is next, and I will have to ask about the chlorpheniramine. What they did with Trill before was give him a couple of Depo-Medrol shots, which cleared it right up. Does Sugar get acne on the chin, too? Trill had a problem with that as well. He still gets it once in awhile, but since I switched to all metal or ceramic water and food dishes, it is pretty rare. It's supposed to be related to the allergy, IIRC, as well as the rodent ulcer.

Her ulcer was going down all on its own.It looks really good today. I think the chloro stuff helped. I will give her some more tonight. It is really cheap. It was 4$ for a bottle of several tablets and it is for 1/4 tab to 2 tablets daily, but starting with the small dose (which seems to have helped some.) > > >Well, yes, she has arthritis in her knees, so I will start putting > > >glucosimine on everyone's food.

How often does Trill get that? Benadryl's generic name is diphenhydramine. Chlorpheniramine is a different drug, although from a similar class. > > > >Well, yes, she has arthritis in her knees, so I will start putting > > > >glucosimine on everyone's food.

Well, she just meant "allergy meds" since most people recognize Benedryl as such. > Glad I took her in though because she had impacted anal glands! Very bad. > Poor baby.

Tiger had impacted anal glands a couple of weeks back, and ended up at the ER vet with a 10 day course of antibiotics. Apparently, anal gland problems aren't that common in cats...... Glad she's feeling better and things aren't too serious. Helen M > > Glad I took her in though because she had impacted anal glands! Very bad. > > Poor baby.

That's the wierd thing because she doesn't seem listless or anything. No puking. That had to have been bothering her though. I don't know why they say it is uncommon in cats because both Sugar and Grant had problems and so does my mom's cat. I feel bad I didn't know. I may just have to go in for an anal check up every few months just to make sure it doesn't happen again. > Glad I took her in though because she had impacted anal glands! Very bad. > Poor baby.

I hope she starts feeling better soon, Jeanette > Well, yes, she has arthritis in her knees, so I will start putting > glucosimine on everyone's food. Glad you caught the impaction & nothing was too serious. Major win over TED's bill, too! I have an arthritic spine & take supplements: I'd recommend a Glucosamine/Chondriotin blend, in trials it was much more effective than glocosamine alone IIRC (you might want to do your own research).

You're a good meowmie taking care of all that bothers her. So many (not us here though!) don't. Allergies suck and I hope the first freeze takes care of that. Purrs for her poor knees.  SignatureCheryl Aw, Karen, I'm so glad her lip wasn't more serious! Please give her purrs from us. Sounds like you got a remarkable bargain at your vet as a regular visit at my vet's starts at $40. Don't know if this might be of interest to you but I use Cosequin For Cats which I order from www.valleyvet.com; they're supposed to be chicken-flavored and I empty a gelcap onto a little plate plus a tablespoon of warm water and then put a small amount of dry food in it to get the cats to eat it up.

Yeah, I get the chicken flavored too. I'll check out the site. Thanks! > Well, yes, she has arthritis in her knees, so I will start putting > glucosimine on everyone's food.

I'm sure Sugar would not agree as it sounds like a bad day for her but everything seems fairly minor and controllable.

I'm glad she got all fixed up today and that you know what caused he lip to swell. Here's lots of purrs that her meds will kick in ASAP and that the Glucosamine fixes up those creaky knees.

It costs me a small fortune for a check-up with no meds or food samples. It's cheaper to take a child to a doctor than to take a cat to our vet. What's a rodent ulcer?

Purrs and headbutts for you and Sugar, Karen. Hobbes sends special headbutts to Sugar because he has recently experienced the humiliation associated with having your anal glands flushed out and the pain as well.

SHe had chunky stuff in there that would never have come out. I don't understand how she didn't SHOW me there was a problem. SHe used to scoot her butt if it got bad. I had NO idea. :( |
