Have a cat problem


Posted: Sep 10, 2010

I recently gave away the last of my momma cat's five kittens and she is now engorged and leaking milk.  The babies didn't go all at once--one one week, two the next, etc.--but she is still making milk.  She looks uncomfortable but I don't think she has a fever.  Will this resolve itself or will she need medical attention (besides the spaying coming up soon!)?  Thanks for any suggestions.Smile

Engorgement is painful and could cause mastitis. I would call the vet and get some phone advice.

Do not try to express the milk, it will just stimulate her to continue production.

It will resolve on it's own, but the vet can also give her medication to dry her up. the medication will also relieve her discomfort. Poor kitty. :(

OMG - I HAVE A PROBLEM!!!Sep 09, 2010
I have a dilemma.  I brought in a woman to rent my room on Saturday for 200.00 without a lease.  Within 3 hours, the entire house reeked of very strong cinnamon incense.  Fine...then comes Sunday, she begins by making coffee in my coffee pot and cleaning my kitchen counters, her first load of clothes goes in at at 9 AM and she washes clothes until late that night.  She puts her dish towels in place and takes it upon herself to wash mine.  She then finds a Sun-T ...

for example, we have people today posting on the MM board that they cherry pick and that if we were smart, we'd do it to.  We have people who post that if I get my feelings hurt by something posted on these forums, it's because I'm too sensitive (certainly not because what they said is too harsh, oh no!).  Bet you anything these people claim to be Christian.  It's okay though because they believe.  They got their get out of jail free card.  They' ...

Am I Expecting Too Much...What Is My Problem?Feb 12, 2011
I feel myself sliding into a horrible depression and I honestly don't know why.  I've never been depressed before in my life except for fleeting circumstantial incidents that resolved within a few days but I just can't shake this. What confuses me is I don't know WHY I'm depressed.  I'm married to a wonderful, beautiful guy who treats me like a queen.  We have a very nice little life together, albeit not with a huge amount of financial freedom.  ...

The Real ProblemSep 07, 2011
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man ...

Problem With NeighborJun 21, 2014
I'm starting to have a problem with my neighbor. We live in a community of little cottages that are very close together. The decks of the individual cottages are actually joined, so there is really only a few feet between our back door and their back door. They just had a baby, and the other day, he came over and was complaining to my husband about his smoke coming in their window. We are not supposed to smoke inside the unit, and when we moved in, the property manager said that eve ...

Family Problem...Jan 06, 2015
I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss things not related to transcription. I tried to use the gab board, but it wasn't working.  Anyway, any advice is greatly appreciated!  I live hundreds of miles from my parents, and now I get along with them much better.  My Mom often calls me daily, but she is very rude if she gets another call. She will say someone else is calling, I have to go. or so and so is calling, call me back later or I'll call you back. &n ...

CPAP ProblemFeb 28, 2015
Last Tuesday, I started on a trial period using the CPAP.  The company gave me a loaner of the machine, mask, and hose. Because I'm immune compromised, I asked them whether anyone had used the equipment before me.  They assured me they autoclave everything before they give it out. On Thursday night, exactly two & a half days after I started the CPAP, I came down with a bad head cold.  This is the exact incubation period for the cold virus, and I'm extremely reluctan ...

Family Problem...Apr 26, 2015
Hi :) I have a family problem.  I will give you some background information first.  Sorry for the length as I try to explain. I was raised in a small town by my mother and stepfather (she has been with him since I was 1, so for many years). I grew up with one sibling, my half-sister (my mom and stepdad's daughter). I always knew of my biological father.  I would see him at various events, and he was at my 6th grade graduation, although he never really said more to me than h ...

Cat And Litter Box ProblemJun 01, 2015
Long story short (I wish): I realized our cat was peeing on the new carpet in the family room. She has 2 litter boxes and has always used one for pee and one for poop, but as she in an indoors/outdoors cat, she rarely uses either box except in winter.. We took her to the vet who said that he didn't think she had a UTI but that she might have/have had an infection of the vulva (blank stare from my husband at that point). The vet gave us meds which we used without really knowing if she did ha ...

This article mentions the FBI, Homeland Security, etc., are all concerned at what is going on and how bad the situation is with cyberattacks.&nb ...

First we have Papa Romney palling around with Saul Alinsky in the 1960s.    "In the wake of the devastating Detroit riots of the summer of 1967, Michigan Gov. George Romney — a liberal Republican — met the radical organizer Saul Alinsky to discuss the grievances of the urban black poor. Now Romney's son is fighting for the Republican nomination, and his main rival, Newt Gingrich, has made Barack Obama's alleged ties to Alinsky a centerpiece of his campaign." "I ...

Well, the very next day, DH went to get Blue Buffalo and instead came home with a 5 lb. bag of 4health ($6) and Taste of the Wild  ($12) instead (he always listens to sales people). We started her on 4health and she didn't touch it the first day unless we put in 1/2 can of wet and veggies. The second day she ate it with no problem. She also seems to be 'full' after eating and isn't crying or whining. The next day, she didn't even touch her breakfast until after lun ...

Anyone Ever Have Sciatic Nerve ProblemDec 11, 2009
The reason I ask is my sister told me tonight that she thinks she needs to see a neurosurgeon as she had a pinched nerve/sciatica lasting longer than a month and now she has charley horses from the knee up and are like knots in the leg.  If she sneezes she can feel a muscle pulling and feels it when trying to get up.  She has trouble sleeping and can't find a position, and has pain when sitting.   What kind of doctor would you suggest?  Someone told her chiro, I think ...

Update On Dental ProblemAug 17, 2010
Well, I got through the whole bone graft procedure better than I thought I would thanks to an excellent dentist who made my whole face numb.  I didn't feel a thing.  It also helped that I thought of people less fortunate than myself who have to endure much worse on a daily basis.  If anyone ever has to deal with this I wish you luck and, take it from me, it is almost always worse in your own mind that it actually is in reality. ...
