  • I had to smile when Dr. McDonald talked about very aggressive cats, as this one was clearly the very opposite of aggressive. A very sweet and docile kitty.

  • If only the doctors for humans had ten percent of the compassion that vets do. God bless you for the work that you do! I love my two 13 yr old cats so very much and I cannot imagine my life without them. Thanks again. jason and family.

  • thankyou..i compressed and squeased puss from a wound on my cat (no odor) and now wonder how i should flush the wound and with what . i was right behind her ear afyer a cat fight.

  • Thanx for the Video Doc...

    I am taing my NIKO to th vet now.......dont wana waste time

    thanx again....

  • I've used Hydrogen peroxide to clean out a pus wound on my kitty....and yes I squeased out as much as I could(yeah it ticks them off). I lock us in the bathroom with a warm wash cloth, being very gentle and sweet to her.Rinsed with the peroxide and follow with neosporin. Iodine is very good to clean the wound too.They understand we are trying to help them. I have three cats and a dog. Treating the wound this way has worked well for me."I am not a vet"

  • i just notice today of the liquid and swelling on my cats "front ebow" shes been limping for a few days, and being the terrible person my mom is, she refuses to bring my cat to the vet as she said that " they are cats, it will heal", is there anyway i can clean out the infection myself, because its forming a large pus area, can i maybe puncture the skin and release the pus myself or is there something else i can do

  • THANKS YOU SO MUCH THIS HELPS ME ALOT!

  • Cats rule!

  • my neutered male cat used to get abscesses. I used the experience I gained from him to treat my rat for an abscess.

  • you should soak his foot in warm soapy water. I have had to due that with a couple of my cats it not an easy task though.
