Aw, poor pup!
Cricket can’t tolerate any poultry and she shows sensitivity to soy, wheat, and corn.. so she’s on primal beef patties (frozen raw), honest kitchen grain free beef, and this veggie mix I make (spinach, apples, green beans, carrots, parsley, sweet potato, kelp powder, local honey...
Update: I've separated the kittens from Cricket, during the daytime... Theyre under close supervision when everyone has access to each other. Dobby hasn't bounced off Cricket's head today... she seemed slightly less tense (I do have the pheromone things plugged in- several throughout the...
My housemate got 2 kittens a couple of months ago. They're now 6 months old. Cricket is 5 1/2 years old.
Cricket is afraid of them. One (Leia) pretty much ignores Cricket- the other one (Dobby) thinks it's fun to bounce off Cricket's head (no claws involved). The kittens are not aggressive...
Hi-
Sorry for not updating earlier- been a little hectic. :)
I realized that by soaking her kibble in more water, she was staying hydrated. Took Cricket a couple of days to get back to her regular water habits- right around the same time she started self-soothing with her favorite plush toy...
Hi-
Cricket had her surgery yesterday- it went well. No major complications. However, she did regurgitate during surgery. They cleaned her up and the vet checked her lungs- no fluid... I have antibiotics, just in case. However, she hasn't been coughing or vomiting.
They took out a lot more...
Cricket's surgery is scheduled for July 28. Will be sure to keep you posted!
Im going to have an inflatable collar on hand but plan to stay with her 24/7 til she's healed up.
Cricket's scheduled for a vulvoplasty, entropion surgery, and extraction of 2 loose teeth (front lower incisors- she doesn't use these) all at once. (I do not want to put Cricket under general anesthesia any more times than what's absolutely necessary.. she does have a bulldog specialist working...
Yes- Cricket was stung by a bee 2 months ago. Went to an emergency vet and got a steroid shot. I gave her 2 Benadryl when we got home. she also had gotten a Rx for oral steroids (prednisone) ... the next afternoon, she started throwing up every 15 minutes, and couldn't stop... Went to see her...
Cricket watches random things- So You Think You Can Dance, Thelma and Louise, Big Bang Theory, dogs on tv, squirrels on YouTube (which my cat likes, as well)... she doesn't seem to have a "favorite." She just watches when she's in the mood.
Hi, everyone-
I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for me to use with Cricket. She's recently become more skittish about having a collar, harness, or anything (this includes clothes) put on her. She's never liked clothes- she just becomes dead weight when I put things on her, and then rolls...
Hi- Cricket has tear stains, too. I tried Cranimals gold and really didn't notice any difference. I keep her on it because what it HAS helped with is her tail pocket- she has a tight tail pocket and there's been a steady improvement with her tail pocket. I still clean it, but it's not as...
Cricket's much MUCH better. maybe one or two tiny bumps, but when I gave her the once-over last night, the biggest one had shrunk to 1/4 its original size. I don't feel any bumps on her anymore... I don't know what it was but I'm thinking spiders, mosquitoes, or ants. I don't think wasps/bees...
Hi-
I let Cricket out last night at about 9:30. She was in the back yard for maybe 10 minutes. When she came back in, she had about eight mosquito bite sized lumps all over her back and on her legs (none on her belly, paws, or chest. I even checked in her mouth- no welts in her mouth). The...
