We had a kitty whos pads were cracked from sleeping on a heating pad so we rubbed veggie oil on them. Try that and see what happens.

Your cat is having a severe allergic response to the flea toxin. Even though these products say they are safe for cats they are usually too strong. Get him to a vet immediately before his lungs are too full of fluid for them to help him.

How do you know that it was a clot? Could it be a spider bite? or a snake bite? If it truly is a clot and you did not take it to the vet, it may be to late to treat it. So sorry for your kitty. I hope it recovers.

Peaches, thanks for the info on the prolapsed rectum. I don't know what the vet said because the kitten is at the fosters. I have a meezer with a sensitive tummy and I find that the Whiskas Temptations Hairball Control works well. The package says...

I am going to get a rescue kitty, but have just been informed she has a prolapsed rectum. I was told the vet said it should resolve by itself. Should I be worried? Is this going to be a lifetime, recurring problem? What about parasites?
