get antibiotic cream frm vet n apply. wound will heal very fast.

Yeah, like basilisk just said, bring to the vet. They will give you cream to put on it. Maybe give you some antibiotic tablets as well. Don't worry.

hey there, did u keep the kitty caged after the op? just bring to vet to get rid of the pus.
sometimes the kitty litter is dirty and it will affect the wound
or if the cat wasn't caged, it might have open the wound during rough play or jumping.

Finally, the dreaded " block " happened.

And the vet bill cost over RM500 for a normal private clinic. huhu..

Normal hours, charges, not 'emergency' hours..
Later I will break down the cost...

hello cat parents,
i visited the cat expo today, it is my very first so i don't have any event to compare it to.
There are very few vendors only and not much promos.
I did buy Reflex plus dry food as i find it quite affordable to feed the strays.
Also picked up those large cans of cat food, wet cat food only cheaper by a few cents.
If anyone planning to go, do have shopee app in hand to compare price before buying, really I had to walk away because it is still cheaper on Shopee

Blockage? UTI?

uti = infection, still can pee, but painful.

This case, wana pee, no urine flows out.
male cat, neutered round 6mth++, age 3.5years++.
no apparent sign or warning, just one fine night, i saw d fler squat to pee , but no urine flows out, he was so mad and cursed, as if gona kill everyone.

I decided to wait til next morning, cos most of the vet on emergency duty is newbie, cat jz had dinner, so put him on sedation is risky.

I should be very specific to ask for urine lab test. In the end, apa test pon tarak buat, even the ph oso dono. Only manage to unblock.
Discharge same day. Antibiotic for 1week, finished without problem.

Tht rc urinary, as usual made frm cheap ingr, but claims able to alter the urine ph, help dissolve struvite, only extra ingr i noticed is calcium sulfate. The food is so low in fibre, cat wana poo oso susah, and vomited some hairball wit food for several days, 10hours aft food. On 4th-5th day, ok dy no more vomitting aft i add kib with more fibre.

Time to give more wet food for your cats. If got time, sendiri make complete and balance food for them.

i can make him consume more water, that is not a problem so far.
in fact i already started to make him consume more water long time ago,
just that i might not be doing it consistently, and he actually needs more... (since this happened). Never tot he is so damn lucky!!

So how much water are we talking about?

Search online, states that 60ml per kg, 4kg cat 240ml a day.

Normally ppl just let the cat eat dry kibs, and let d fler drink at will.

With a lucky cat like this, water consumption needs to be measured. And spread out the entire day.

So....finally am pulling the trigger and getting a cat since there's a stray hybrid munchkin that was found.......lol...

Some quick Q,
1) Which litter sand type is good? I read that there's tofu and all so what do you guys use? I stay in a condo and would like to have as minimal smell as possible.
2) I am planning to go with dry food ( kibbles ) as much as I can. In terms of general health, any supplements that I should add in? I also read that it's good for them to consume raw food. Am thinking that I can get some raw salmon for cheaps so if it's good for the cat, why not?
3) How often do they really scratch? I have things on the ground that I really don't want it to be scratched as it's expensive so am trying to figure out how to avoid it.........
4) Vaccine, what is compulsory? How often to deflea/deworm?

Having a pet is a major responsibility, and if you are not willing to fork out the money necessary nor spend the time needed to keep them healthy and happy, don't get a pet.

Thanks for the reply. Money is not a problem...more on giving it the best. lol.

I was reading about tofu litter which is the most exp but also the best as it is easy to dispose and absorbs best. I suppose you're not in msia and you can't recommend a good brand you use?

Thanks for the other replies.

spunkberry is right, keeping pets require time, patience and money.
As of today, my cats have been with me for 50weeks and I've spent 5k on them, not including the upcoming 11/11.
Most of my buys are done in bulk and I am always on the lookout for promos or sales.

if you can afford it try use pottycat tofu litter,
can mix charcoal & original or full charcoal to absorb the smell.

im using nurturpro tofu litter which is a little bit cheaper than pottycat

Thanks for the brand's recommendation. Will definitely look into it.

Thanks for the detailed answer. One question though, what brand of food is good? I've read about RC and TOTW. There was a page that i bookmarked on FB but I can't seem to find it now that rates the food. Can you recommend some?

so far, i'm trying all brands
these are the dry food brands that I've fed

earthborn
cindy's recipe
fussie cat
proud
carnilove
totw

Thanks Jess, what about wetfood?

as for wet food, i prefer those 80g cans as i find the ingredients cleaner but they do enjoy some 400g cans as well.

brands i've tried:
fussie cat
cindy's recipe
nurture pro
monge
kit cat


i usually buy in cartons for wet food and the largest bag available for dry as I do have 2 house cats.

just trial and error, see what your cat like to eat and change the palate so it doesn't become too dependent on one particular food, only one of my cat doesn't favor chicken liver but will unwillingly eat.

thank goodness i don't have fussy eaters.

Thank you...so much to learn... lol...... Will get back to you folks once it arrives on my doorstep. Excited and scary at the same time. lol
