It sounds like you're juggling a lot of work with all those cats! However, if the vet who did the procedure said to start the medication tomorrow, I would recommend that you *not* give the medication tonight. It is very likely that the vet gave an injection of a similar medication already while the cats were at the hospital, that will stay in their system until tomorrow, and that's why the vet wanted the next dose given tomorrow. If you give it tonight, that could lead to an overdose of the medication in the cat's system. So, do your best to follow the instructions on the medication as directed. I hope this helps!

Is it possible for a cat to have one kitten, then have another a couple days later? She still has a bit of a bump and feels like there is another kitten
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Cats can delay labor for a maximum of 24 hours. If it has been longer than 24 hours then that constitutes an emergency. If you are concerned about a retained kitten that hasn't been born great than 24 hours after the birth of the last kitten I highly recommend a Vet appointment. They can take an X-ray to confirm she is finished. I wish Chloe the best!

I recently adopted a female ragdoll kitten in early September and plan on bringing her home with me when I will travel back home for a month over the summer. The only problem is, my parents already have a large male cat and we are unsure of how he wi
Personally I wouldn't put Channel through the flight for the sake of one week. If they don't get on one week is not going to make any real difference, and you would likely be at square one in the Summer. They will hopefully get on, but you will need to make sure that one or both is neutered to avoid kittens!

I have a new ragdoll kitten and will get a second one soon because I was told cats do well in pairs. I have never had a pet before and I want my kitten to be happy and healthy. It's a 4 months old boy. I am not sure what I do or don't know, and I kno
Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. Although animals do like company, they also can be very happy as single pets. If Scout seems happy, don't feel pressured to get a second cat. Scout should go to a vet as soon as you can make an appointment as he is likely behind on vaccines/worming if he hasn't had any since you got him. Neuter is recommended at 6 months of age. Otherwise just make sure you have scratching posts, litter tray, food and water. Best of luck with Scout!

Good afternoon doctor, coming Friday I'm go to Chennai for function but my cat is leave alone. How to ready and carry my cat to travel in bus and train. Explain with clearly or images
You should purchase a cat carrier to safely travel with Mennu. I have a link to a few examples below. It would be best to get Mennu as familiar with the carrier as possible prior to travel to help reduce stress - leave the carrier out so she can explore it. You may even want to try feeding her in the carrier. Take her for a short trip once before leaving. A pheromone spray like Feliway could help reduce stress. Good luck! https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/category/cat/cat-containment/cat-carriers-crates-and-kennels/cat-plastic-crates
