Cat Sick

Is My Cat Sick?

Cats are masters at hiding signs of illness. Learn how to play detective and recognize these warning signs.

 The vets insisted it was simply because they were able to catch it so early, Mann continues. I learned from that: Never ignore a symptom.

No one knows your cat better than you do. You are the best judge of your cats attitude, activity and behavior, says Alice M. Wolf, DVM, professor at Texas A&M University, College of Veterinary Medicine in College Station, Texas. Because signs of illness can be very subtle, if your cat does not seem right to you, then it is best to err on the side of caution and to make an appointment to take him or her in for a veterinary examination as soon as possible. 

Even though our cats can't talk to us, they have many ways of telling us when something is wrong and they need our help. We just need to give them our full attention using sense and all our senses.

I have adopted a stray it comes and goes, but it showed up one day looking like it took on to too many cats and now one side of his face is swoolen (few days now), one of his front paws looks swollen and he limps but he seems to eat ok I been giving him canned food. Is there anything I can give him that will help him from the local drug store? I can not afford a vet at this time, but I do want to help him
