4 months ago my familly adopted a cat that was on allergy medicine to help heal some sores on his shoulder-dime size-they healed quickly. 4 wks later we noticed them resurfacing, took him to our local vet and was treated with antibiotics and ointment. original sore partially healed while another developed behind it. took back to the vet for advice. she has never seen anything like it and wants to do a biopsy. we have already spent hundreds of dollars on this mystery and can't afford much more, we also do not want to return this sweet feline to the humane society. Today we came home to a the inside of our house covered in cat urine and fecices. HELP
Answer:
So sad. Maybe you should surrender the kitty to the humane society. I know that sounds awful and i'm not sure I could do that but the medical bills will just keep going higher and higher. I have been there before and almost ended up in the poor house. I just think you only have a couple of options so I say pay for as long as you can and if he's still sick then surrender him. I do animal rescue and I know this sweet kitty will be treated if treatable. I hope everything will turn out great for the 2 of you.
im really sorry to say this but i would get the cat out of your house asap because you could get whatever it has. hope your cat gets better
Hi. Sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble with your new kitty's health. I think it is important to realize that you have committed to this new pet and you should be committed to maintaining this cat's health. I know it has been a lot of money (especially since it was unforeseen) but I encourage you to continue to care for this animal. There are a number of illnesses that could cause these lesions on your cat's skin. Some examples are bacterial, allergic contact dermatitis, tumor, autoimmune, parasitic, etc. Some of these illnesses can be treated easily and in a relatively low-cost manner. I think a biopsy of the lesion is a good option at this point. It may be enable your vet to finally make a diagnosis. Work with your vet and make up a plan that works for you, your cat and your pocketbook. Most vets will allow you to set up a long-term payment plan with them, ask about this option.
I sincerely wish you and your cat the best of luck. Take care!
Skin conditions in pets and humans can be hard to diagnose and treat. I have to wonder why the house was covered in cat urine and feces. Was the cat ill? Did the cat not have access to, or not know where the litter back was? Is the cat stressed and trying to communicate that?The problem with this cat could be incredibly simple to treat once the cause is found. Do you really not have the money to continue treatment or do you not want to spend the money to continue treatment? If it's the latter, you shouldn't have adopted the cat in the first place.
