Is she a stray or feral? Sounds like she was someone's pet before, so a stray?
Because it's recommended feral cats should not be adopted. Instead TNR (trap, neuter and release) is the most humane option. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it? Everything you are, gone in a moment, like breath on a mirror. - The Doctor ... Copied to Clipboard!

Idk if this helps, but Cats can be trained the exact same way as Dogs. Get some treats and lure her out. Give her a treat anytime she does something good, and she'll start doing it more. You can use this trick to get her to stay calm in at the Vet if you work on it for the 3 days.

@ChocoTalk to her say you are sorry, and pet her so she knows you werent trying to hurt/scare her. She may not understand your words, but will pick up on your body language. As for the vet it is a place filled with the smells of other dangerous animals like dogs, and strange cats, and being a wildish cat they dont like unfamiliar smells especially smells of other animals in fear. Your house probably has the smell of her baby so she knows it is ok. She could also have abandonment issues. --- Water+Fall=Radiation. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ngl we adopted a kitten a couple weeks ago and I saw you topic about Sniper and I've been freaking out ever since. She had to get treated for upper respiratory last week and then yesterday she was breathing strangely so we took her to the emergency vet hospital and she's still there being monitored.

Thank you! We got freaked out, the doctor last night was talking about an abnormally large heart and unusual lung sounds. They had radiology examine the x-rays this morning and her heart is fine, but she does have a few lightly fractured ribs. They got her on a few different medications, including one for lung worm which freaked me out but looking it up it seems like it's actually not too dangerous if treated right away and healthy cats can pass an infection relatively quickly. Ugh.

Ugh.Yeez fractured ribs sounds very painful. Good luck man. Taking care of sick kitten is hard work, and to be honest i was plagued with anxiety almost everytime thinking he wouldn't make it. It would feel so good to get him into good health again tho. Compared to the kitten Rivel is very low maintenance. I just need to replace food, clean litter and give head pats and chin rubs. --- http://i.imgtc.com/iJyp6bF.png http://i.imgtc.com/ZBw36Qh.png Thanks for the peeps that made the pics <3 if i make typos it means i am on phone ...

Went back from the vet. She finally got her basic flea/worm treatment. Not vaccinated yet because vet said she's still a bit stressed, and just come back in 2 weeks when she's more relaxed.
Basic checkup comes up fine. No signs of infection, eyes, mouth, teeth, ears are fine. There is a trace of worms in stool test, and she already got worm medicone. --- http://i.imgtc.com/iJyp6bF.png http://i.imgtc.com/ZBw36Qh.png Thanks for the peeps that made the pics <3 if i make typos it means i am on phone ...

@apolloooo Thank you for thinking about her.
So, we had taken her in Friday night, she was in the oxygen cage throughout yesterday, and this morning they took her out of the oxygen cage to see how she did. The doctor called this evening and said she was fine when she was sleeping, still had an elevated respiratory rate when she was awake but said that she felt comfortable releasing her. Just to play it safe we decided to keep her there one more night just in case something does flare up - we figured we already paid for two nights (and those were the most expensive because of the oxygen), and we'd rather let her relax one more day in a monitored environment just to be on the safe side. Especially since she had that upper respiratory infection last week and recovered really quickly from that before this happened -_-. The one doctor said the rib fractures were from before we ever adopted her and are healing up nicely so that's also good. She is a trooper though. Maybe it's because she spent so much time with vets/the shelter before we adopted her but she doesn't stress about anything. The vet was even talking about how she was just sleeping peacefully with all these dogs barking around her and she didn't care lol. Can't wait to cuddle with her again. I really hope Rivel is doing well. Looks like she had traces of worms but those deworming medications are hella effective. --- FFXIV: Lucius Hexenseele (Brynhildr) | RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing/Thieving/Crafting/RC https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ ...

She is incredible. Any time we have to take our older cats to the vet, they see that carrier come out and they blast to a closet or under the bed. With her you just put her in and she goes for the ride, she's a pro at it.
Also cats are just beautiful little creatures. We jokingly named her Desert Wetpaw (we gave our cats full names based on their personalities though only my wife and I ever call them that sometimes) because she was standing in her water dish when we saw her at PetSmart the first time, and she was meowing and grabbing my finger. When we brought her home from the shelter the first thing she did at the water dish was dip her front paw in it, and she does it almost every time she drinks water. It's too cute. --- FFXIV: Lucius Hexenseele (Brynhildr) | RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing/Thieving/Crafting/RC https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ ...

glad to hear it. i just read cat purr actually helps strengthen bones. hell, that works for other mammals too, possibly including humans. broken bones survival rate in cats are like 90% as long as you keep them calm when i read it. cat purrs are in the frequency that somehow can help bone repair/growth.
