Veterinarian here: ask me anything!

Forget taking the cat to a vet/animal behavior expert/psychic. YOU need to go to the psychiatrist. Learn how to chill out and deal with it. Some cats get louder when they are old. Don't forget you'll get old one day, and you might get louder and more annoying too.
 
Tell your psychic friends to telepathically figure out what's wrong with him.

If they can successfully do so, then I'll pay them.

I'll even give you a blowie as a finder's fee.

Edit: here, send them this picture of him so they know what cat to telepathically telepath psychically with.

I call bullshit on all of this right now, because your cat only has three legs.
 
Can you figure out if a male dog or a human has had sex with a female dog are there any signs of people who might fuck there dogs female mainly
 
Thank you for doing this #1!

I have been collecting as much info on OSS surgery. I see conflicting information that the female will have a chance to no longer enjoy or be receptive to sexual relations even if if they were enjoying it prior to the procedure. I also read that sex with OSS females could be dangerous as the vaginal canal is closed off by scar tissue and may rupture?

Assuming a large breed female undergoes OSS after her 2nd heat around 2 years of age, do you have any knowledge that she would encounter the above concerns?

You try listening to the same thing every day, day in, day out, for (I looked into it more) three years and see how you fucking feel about it.

People get irritated hearing their kids saying "hey hey hey hey hey" all day. Hearing this is no different.

And I've been to shrinks, a number of times. I have problems that make my tolerance to bullshit like this, and yours, extremely low, to the point of nonexistence.

As long as you don't overdo it and cause any trauma i doubt they could. I wouldn't bring your pup in full of cum though, that could raise a few eyebrows in the office.
 
I've tried it, it doesn't work.

I've tried behavior modification where I reward the behavior I want (him being quiet) by petting him, but as soon as I start to pet him, he starts carrying on. Then when I stop, he goes to a different room and gets even worse.

I've tried toys, I've tried different foods, his litter is fine, etc. He doesn't like toys or catnip, so I can't do that. I don't know what to do. I've posted online about this before too, and no matter what I try, it DOES. NOT. WORK.

I'm seriously at the end of my rope with him. He's old and so I don't know how long he has and I don't want to spend that time hating him, but that's what's happening. I cannot stand to hear him ALL THE FUCKING TIME and it's making me hate him.

There are times he will meow, no exaggeration whatsoever, about every 1.5 seconds. And he will just GO AND GO AND GO AND GO AND GO.

I hate it. I can't stand it. This has gone on for probably 9+ months, every single fucking day.
If he is older it could possibly be he is losing his vision... I had a older cat that meowed a lot after she lost hers but would be fine for a bit of petting her but would continue after I stopped

I mentioned that to the vets, as well as dementia and arthritis.

None of them found anything as far as any of that, or in his blood work.

Damn.. that sucks... that's all the I can give only had one cat years ago... i have dogs now.. but hope you can find something for your kitty 😞
 
I miss the vocal cat my father had. It was such fun to talk to him. And I know he's missing him too. He said, it was nice having his meows beeing heard through the house, you always known that he was there, and always ready to have a chat.
The house is so quit now.
 
Aha, found videos of him doing it.

The first one was AT THE VET while trying to figure out why he's doing it.

Question #3 Many water-based lubes designed for humans are recommended for zoosexual activities
You are correct about the pH. Using a lube with closer to canine vaginal pH (7 - 8 ish and dips to 6.5 or so during estrus is higher than the human 3.5-5) is the way to go. Additionally, some formulations of astroglide contain Xylitol (birch sugar), which even in small amounts can be toxic to dogs, so avoid those or look at the ingredient list carefully.

@whenwolves, In my opinion, J lube is the way to go—mixing powder as needed keeps things as clean as possible (used lube bottles can collect lots of bacteria), you aren’t disrupting vaginal micro flora balance with acidic solutions, and you will spend a penny on the dollar compared to continually buying human lube. If you increase the size of your companion and are talking sheep or larger, I can’t even imagine the bill for non J-lube approaches!
 
I was hoping for a more definite answer from you if you happened to know which video I was talking about, so that it could be marked as abusive, and therefore used as a educational tool for teaching what not to do.
You’ll have to DM me the video or something so I can take a look for specifics. I don’t really watch the porn side of ZV much!

Oh no. I can absolutely sympathize having that continuously for nine months—it’s super loud and would take a heroic amount of coping. That’s not what I would call a “chatty” cat, that’s a different vocalization, but I’ve got no idea why he would do that! I’m sorry I can’t be of more help, it’s a tough situation for sure.

As long as you aren’t an abusive owner—we vets can laser focus on signs of abuse—unless you bring your dog to me absolutely covered in lube or something there’s no way. Additionally, most vets aren’t even going to be thinking about that, with thirty additional patients and a mind in “medical exam” mode.

Just to be safe, maybe don’t do anything the morning of the vet visit XD

Actually, from what I’ve heard from friends and folks on here most zoo companions are dreams to work with because their owners go above and beyond with every medical recommendation and aspect of their care. ❤️

I looked back through messages and videos and all

It's been more like 2.5-3 years.

Those are valid concerns. The vast majority of female dogs that had positive experiences with sex before alteration continue to do so afterward, even after a full spay. Could your girl be different? No way for me to predict, but I’d lean positive!

During the surgery we usually leave quite a bit of tissue to close off the vaginal canal and are generous with it. With most larger breed dogs you shouldn’t need to worry. After everything is healed, if you use a finger to gently explore you can make extra certain. One thing you can always ask is for the vet to leave extra room due to concerns about male dogs and the potential for accidental mating since she will still be receptive. That’s one of my actual medical reasons for leaving extra tissue, as male dogs aren’t gentle, and perforating that scar is a disaster that keeps me awake at night for all my OSS patients.
 
I’d also like to gently guide the folks who are mentioning how much they miss “vocal” cats (I love cats as much as the next person but maybe in another thread?) or how it’s a personal problem not a cat problem (when living with animals both of your problems are intertwined!) away from not being very helpful.

Empathy is important in pretty much every aspect of life, and not much is gained by posting stuff like that for @iwanttobeabottom’s scenario—we aren’t in the comment section of social media, people. Be respectful!
 
I got a similar cat question! I took care of a cat for a couple days, and having no real experience or knowledge of the animal, I was a bit surprised with his vocals. He would rarely meow, but I think he would purr nonstop. It sounded like an engine running. Is this normal or is it something like chest congestion? He is the most affectionate cat I have ever seen. He desires cuddles, pets. He'll lick me like a dog, sleep next to or on me like a dog, he'll even go spread eagle across my chest and sleep like that. Is he just an overly happy and loving cat? He's an indoor only cat so have you noticed if indoor cats are more affectionate than outdoor cats?

Also, I thought that cats' claws are always retracted unless they feel threatened, but his were always partly out and since he liked to sprawl out on my body, it made for some uncomfortable feelings lol

That's pretty much exactly like my cat.

Yes, he's very happy and affectionate.

Sounds like a very pleasant and affectionate cat! My cat enjoys slowly flexing his claws directly into my knee, so I can relate. ❤️
Feline personalities run the whole spectrum, and some are just naturally more friendly and affectionate, just like people!

Haven’t noticed a difference in indoor vs outdoor car affection in my patients or personal experience. One major difference, born out with research, is that indoor cats tend to live a lot longer and stay in better health, even with the statistical less likelihood of good veterinary care (sadly, felines tend to be given less robust medical care than dogs for reasons I can’t fathom), so keep those cats indoors if you can!
 
Howdy zooville!

I work as a mixed animal veterinarian, and am willing to answer any and all animal health questions you may have to the best of my ability. Keep in mind that I’m only one person, and my medical opinion is just that—an opinion, however well informed it may be.

Anything you’re curious about?

Edit: feel free to Dm me if needed!
*HUGS* If I may commend you for stepping forward here publicly, as you might suspect you will likely have more folks seeking your counsel and opinion than you're able to accommodate. Don't let that discourage you and just do the best you're able. Knowledge and science are remarkable assets combined with experience. It is NOT possible to come close to understanding without both knowledge and experience.

I've been involved with equines for some 50 years now and have gained a LOT of valuable experience. Like you my desire and focus here is to offer said knowledge and experience to others with the hope of dispelling ignorance and misinformation, especially regarding equines. In this way I'm able to give back more than just myself to beings that have enriched my life beyond measure...

Yanno I really tire of individual's like you that guffaw at the 'spiritual' side of things. Your arrogance, ignorance and immaturity clearly show themselves...
 
What's the best way to keep vet bills reasonable? I've had some who think of me as a cash cow the minute I walk in. For instance, they might want to keep running the same overpriced test again and again In another case, they wanted me to get my dog shot up with a $90 tranquilizer before they'd do routine annuals. I bet I can go to the bad part of town, and for $10 get enough dope that it would tranquilize a buffalo.
 
Are you zoo friendly or are into zoo and if you are into zoo do you ever struggle with principals and morals?
I am absolutely a proud zoo. ❤️ I view it as a natural extension of caring passionately about all living creatures and having devoted my life to them, and don’t feel any guilt whatsoever about my practice of it, it’s a mutually enjoyable additional way of being with animals and quite fun!

If you mean because I work as a vet around animals and also do reproductive medicine—I see it as no different than docs who objectify or harass human co-workers or patients. Loose your job or get locked up for sexual misconduct! I took the veterinary oath and devote myself to the utmost medical professionalism— Self control, moderation, temperance, respect and civility always apply. Being zoo doesn’t give me a free pass any more than “well that person needs to dress more modestly” does on the human side.

Do I sometimes entertain a quick thought when working behind cows or collecting a stud dog to ship out from the clinic? Sure, I’m only human. But I see these as moments of weakness rather than something to be proud of.
