MAY Trigger...beware if squimish

OK, my hubby gets nose bleeds in the night and it does wake him up. I think maybe once he didnt realize it until morning, so I have to say it is possible.

Back to the cake....Sliver, or healthy piece?

JMO it would have been in the a.m when he put the blanket down for the cats....

maybe he was embaressed

He might not have known I guess. I used to get them when I was a kid, and there were a few times I didnt notice. I just thought it was a runny nose and it didnt bother me. Most adults would probably wipe a runny nose though and realise it was blood.

Maybe he was embarassed. One time I had a guy sleeping on the floor at my house (he was just a friend), and he threw up on the floor right next to where he was sleeping and totally denied throwing up.

I think this would be enough to weird anyone out, that's for sure.

Gem, CoffeeDude and Bebop,
Thanks...no he is not embarrassed cause he has had nose bleeds before and told me when there was and wasnt a trace of it..I think he oughta see a doc... Whats trippin me is..it was a good deal of blood...all the way down that side of the bed..head to toe...drops the size of say a spoon..again I checked all the pets and me and dude said it was not him and we checked the pets together and all...so I had right away washed the blanket and now I am scared I may have like hallucinated it or something..though I have never halluncated before...but ???? Then late last night I was still thinking and talking on it and dude sez....as a joke..it was a satanic cult with snakes blood.... This I know is not true but where the hell did that blood come from ?

Gem I had to lol at the puking dude cause once I puked ON a dude and thought HIDE IT ..as if hahaha but it was my first instict

mystery solved it was one of my cats and now he is on meds and on his way to better health....so I didnt hallucinate it whew

Poor kitty. =( At least you know what caused it though!

Oh wow, I just read this post now, where was the bleeding coming from in the cat, if not too personal to ask?
What was the final DX of poor kitty's bleeding?
Just curious me.
Take care, and keep us updated on kitty's condition.

Sincerely,
DE

Thank you both he is gonna be fine it is a bad urinary tract infection no stones and or crystals and every time I checked...that area...with a damp white washcloth it must have been cleaned off him. So he is now on antibiotics on the kitty cat road to well

I'm sending him "Get Well" wishes.

"me"

I am not glad that your kitty has a problem that needs taken care of with the antibiotics, but I am glad that the problem has been discovered & can be taken care of. You poor kitty. It is so hard when they can't talk to us & tell us what is going on & when we have more than one, it it hard to tell which one is having the problem.

I am so glad that kitty is now of the meds to take care of him. You will have a well kitty & a very happy one now that he will be feeling better.

Glad your scare is over & you are able to take care of him/her. I always take care of my animals before myself.......even though I know that they can't take care of themselves if I am not well, & I have been having that problem lately, but my babies are always going to have my #1 place for care.

Take care of kitty,
love you both,
Debbie

Thank you DE I gave him your get well wishes...I think that was a first for him and he is an old kitty I am sure he was touched how sweet.

Debbie thanks yes me too my pets come first and always will that may be why those cats are in their late teens..I think I did something right in my life..Don't you just love animals they are so pure

I don't have the words that can even express the love I have for all of my babies. I have learned more about how to care for wounds, illnesses, & anything that can possibly happen to any animal.

As for small animals, I have become an expert at getting a pill down their throat & holding the mouth shut, & stroking the throat until they swallowI have even learned how to give the subqutanieous shots & don't even get a squeel out of them. I have also learned how to do the same with my horses along with the IM shots. I have had the best vets to teach me their tricks.

I have also learned how to identify what certain illnesses are by how the my baby is acting. I am planning on taking some courses to help me with this, but practical, daily experience is the best.

I think that collic with the horses is the hardest. They have to be kept walking & all they want to do is go down on the ground & roll which is the worst thing they can do. The intestines rupruring is what kills them & there are things that can be given to them that can help but if they haven't improved within 15 minutes, the vet needs to be called & hopefully one will be available. We have lost several horses to collic at the ranch & I wasn't there at the time, but I have helped with one horse that was collicing & she did get through it but it was so tough to go through.

I never had even a tiny idea of how complex it was to care for animals but now am fully aware of it & still wouldn't change having my babies for anything.......love is stronger than anything.

Debbie

Eskie - welcome back!

Sleeps - weird that he hadn't been straining. What antibiotics did they give him? I guess if there were no crystals and they gave him antibiotics then it was a bacterial UTI but that's pretty rare. Glad you got him to the vet and that he's on the road to recovery.

If you ever need it, someone posted a link to this organization in my cat forum:
http://www.help-a-pet.org/home.html
"HELP-A-PET is a nonprofit organization which provides financial assistance for the medical care of pets whose owners are unable to afford the expense."

I should mention that FLUTD is almost a full-time hobby for me

Thanks Debbie and LMO I agree Deb I do not know what I would do without my pets they have such a pure love and man I have learned a LOT ..since I have had them..I could BE a vet LMO thanks for the link I often post two other ones now I will add that one..I do not have time to get signed up as he is in need of care NOW..In fact I called my vet and went over just a little while ago and they gave me more Clavamox..if he doesn't stop bleeding he will have an XRAY on Tuesday...for a stone cause he shows no signs of crystals

Thanks LMO I pray he just needs the extra long dose of Clavamox

I do too, Sleeps - I hope your kittty will feel better ASAP!!!!! Sending good wishes to the sweet kitty and to you -

Hugs,
ErinBear

Thanks Erinbear I will send him your regards I hope he doesnt have a stone but we shall see..I will know more after Tuesday

I hope he doesn't have a stone too! I don't know that much about what they do for stones with kitties - I know some about what they can do with dogs but not as sure what they do for kitties. It sounds uncomfortable either way. I just hope the kitty feels better! Thinking of you both.

Hugs,
ErinBear

Thanks they can do a few things but many I cannot afford...and he is old ...we shall see

You could send him to my urologist...or better yet, to Dr. Ted E. Bear!!!! Now there's a good idea. Dr. Ted E. Bear is an excellent practitioner, and the fees are extremely reasonable (one jar of honey, or a hug, whichever is handy)

Hugs,
ErinBear

lmao Dr Ted E. Bear lied he told me he was a T and accepted hugs for my session
