Re: Urgent help needed to EXPRESS a cat...

Thanks critters. No I was sat the other side of the vets table. The spine was checked for vertebrae position (approximately half was along the back spine, just above the position of the front of the bladder) and then the anesthetic was administered into the spinal space. It was the only administrati...

Re: Urgent help needed to EXPRESS a cat...

Question When they tranquilise cats for a short time WHERE do they normally inject them? My cat was tranquilised for the insertion of the cathetar. He was injected in his SPINE half way down (just above the bladder!) and woken up by another injection in the left thigh muscle. He was only snoozing fo...

Re: Urgent help needed to EXPRESS a cat...

Hi folks an update on my boy! Today, I had to return to the vet because my cat was only able to produce a very small amount of urine when I expressed yesterday. Even though at the end of last week the vet (first one) was able to express him fully. The urine test had not shown crystals and neither th...

Re: Homeopathic remedies ?

I am not a vet but I have used homoeopathic remedies for a long long time and find them, more often than not, very useful and successful. To overcome the bad effects of vaccination the main support remedy is Kali Mur . "This will normally be entirely sufficient. (Schussler). If necessary follow...

Re: hind leg dragging badly plus enlarged heart

I have used homoeopathic remedies for many years and find them very useful in general. For an enlarged heart the main remedies (schussler) are Calc Fluor and Ferrum Phos . Can you get these in your pharmacies in the USA, here in France all pharmacies stock them? I expect there are many sources in th...

Re: Urgent help needed to EXPRESS a cat...

Thanks people. Thinking about things I have a question perhaps a very important one.. In your experiences, yesterday when the vet inserted a cathetar (a very fine one they said) into the urethra they then used a syringe attached to the end of the cathetar to draw off the urine. So my question is WHY...

Re: Urgent help needed to EXPRESS a cat...

Thanks for the information and help I really appreciate it, it was VERY useful. After much reading of ALL the advice given and a number of attempts to 'find' the bladder which was fairly full, I managed to express a little urine. It was NOT EASY and there were as some objections to the process, but ...
