Vet Visit For Feline Acne of The Chin

I did take Abby to the vet for the feline acne on her chin.  Looked like a wound developed right by the opening of her mouth but on her chin.  She didn't get sick on the way to vet as I didn't feed her for six hours.  The vet said it looked like a mild case of acne and gave me an ointment to apply twice a day.  Abby won't let me apply it.  Again, I waited and it healed up, not completely but it just looks like a black spot now.  I will keep an eye on this as well as the new spot on the top of her head where she is scratching and causing a slight wound.  I tool her to the vet Thurs 9-2-10 for the Feline Acne problem.

Skin Problem Again

Abby now has a new skin problem in the same area on the other side of her head in the area where the fur is really thin and you can see the skin.  It is similar to the cut she had.  I noticed it yesterday.  The other problem cleared up on it's own and I'm hoping this one will too.  She still has the feline acne on her chin but I am watching it closely and trying to brush her chin.  Soon I will start attempting to clean her chin with a wash clothe and water if she'll let me.

Feline Acne Or Something Else

Today I noticed black spots on my cats chin in her lip area just at the spot where her upper fang closes on her mouth.  I believe it's feline acne but don't know for sure, nor do I know how I am going to proceed to treat it.  Two weeks ago I took her to the vet for the cut on her head, that healed thankfully but now I have to deal with this.  My cat gets sick on the way to the vet and I don't currently have the skills to handle her to give her pills or even get a good look at the area in question.  I have to seek help in learning how to physically handle my cat so I can properly treat her, that is my current goal.  I'm going to ask some people like Jenny and my friends mom who lives close to me for advice and help before I take her for another trip to the vet, I hate those trips to the vet, they suck!

Baby Squirrel Didn't Make It

I just spoke to Jenny Monday morning, the baby squirrel passed away Friday some time Friday.  When Jenny arrived home she found her curled in a little ball, she was gone.  She lived for only a few weeks but fought the good fight thanks to the love and care of Jenny.  Over the weekend Jenny met a lady who is starting an animal shelter near her home, Jenny feels that maybe the experience with the baby squirrel was for the purposes of feeding her desire/need to help animals and meeting this woman at just the right time, we'll never know.  I am so sad the little baby squirrel passed, I was so looking forward to learning more about the squirrel as it grew and eventually was released.  Jenny gave it her all and did a great job, just wasn't meant to be, so very sad to hear of this, I wanted to hear great news, this doesn't help my quest to become a person who feels the glass is half full.

Close Call For Baby Squirrel

Jenny's little baby squirrel almost died yesterday.  When Jenny got home, she went to the cat carrier in which she is currently keeping her only to find she wasn't in there.  She found her across the room on the hardwood floor.  She was very cool to the touch and her eyes were cloudy and wouldn't eat.  She stayed with her for hours warming her up with a heating pad and somewhat force feeding her to nurse her back to health.  Finally, the squirrel warmed up and grabbed the food bottle and her eyes were nice and clear and glossy, she was back!  Thank god Jenny got home in time and was able to save her.  She put measures in place to make certain the little baby squirrel doesn't get out of the carrier anymore.  She believes that being out of the carrier on the cold floor and expending all that energy to get across the floor as she can't really walk yet,  is what almost took her down.  It's day to day but looking good as of this morning.

Baby Squirrel Is Eating Solid Food Now

Jenny's baby squirrel is now eating nuts and berries!  She's taken this little pink baby and successfully nursed her to the point of solid food and looking like a squirrel, really awesome news and a great contribution to life.

The Animal Rescue Site & Jenny's Baby Squirrel

I have introduced Jenny from work to the animal rescue site.  She loves animals and is bringing up a tiny baby squirrel that she found barely alive on the ground at her house.  The squirrel along with two others that were dead when she found them must have fallen out of the nest.  She went on the internet and studied how to nurse this tiny baby.  She started by feeding the baby with a siringe, that's how small it was, couldn't even use a baby bottle.  People make fun of her at our work for doing this, saying, it's just a squirrel and that bothers her.  I told her, the hell with those people, they are assholes and they are.  I think what she is doing is one of the most meaningful awesome things a person could do with there time and life.  She is learning and experiencing life and helping life, god bless her and people like her who recognize and love animals.  To Jenny!
