Cat salivating and some blood tongue looks stripped?

Holly asked:

I have an outdoor cat that weve been taking care of a good 3 years. Shes fixed and had all her shots when shewas fixed. A couple weeks ago I noticed an infection on her paw that the vet said was either a bite or a scratch, he cleaned it and gave me Clavamox to give her, which she is still getting. I saw her earlier today and she was fine but a few mins ago I noticed she had some somewhat mucous-y saliva and there was a bit of blood around her mouth and in spots I’m assuming shes been cleaning herself. I wiped the mucous off her mouth but she keeps doing it a few mins later. I opened her mouth and it almost looks as if the lower half of her tongue near the tip is stripped, like I dont notice the texture to it like the rest of her tongue and its red with some blood. Can anyone help?? She’s still as sweet as can be her temperment doesnt seem changed.

<3 Due September 2010 <3 asked:

They came in packs of 2 so i used 2 in one cup of urine and 2 in another cup about 1.5 hours later. If they were false positives would they be affected by the same cup of urine and both be false positives?

also, i am currently being treated for a UTI and am worried there may be traces of blood because my urine was a funny colour…would the blood affect the HPT?? I just really want to be pregnant and dont want to get my hopes up!!

Learn more about diabetes at www.bloodsugarsimplified.com Diabetes is a disease where your body does not produce enough insulin, or else the insulin it produces is not doing what it is supposed to do, which is to lower blood sugar. As a result, your blood sugar levels increase causing hyperglycemia.

Do you monitor your blood daily? What blood monitor device do you recommend?

BGS Blogger — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 06:02:28 +0000

Crispy_Frog asked:

I have low blood sugar and the doctor told me to get a blood monitor to check my blood daily. I don’t know where to start! There are ones that say: “5 second results”, “No coding.” It’s a whole new language. There is quite a selection of devices in a wide price range. What is an accurate, easy-to-use monitor that is reasonably priced? I can spend a few bucks, but I don’t want to get ripped off and spend more than I need to. Do you have to buy testing strips, too? Any tricks to keeping the prices low?
Thank you for taking the time to answer this quesiton!

Blood after fingering?

BGS Blogger — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 18:17:56 +0000

Alison Reiches asked:

So, my boyfriend fingered me, and it hurt sometimes when he did it. It was my first time, and most of the time he had 1 finger in, but sometimes he put 2 fingers in. The next morning, I went to the bathroom, and it hurt and then there was just a strip of blood, barely any. Can anyone tell me what happened?

Kandiee asked:

I take my blood sugar in the morning , it runs between 90 and 120
at evening before dinner 122. 128
Ok this morning I take it and its 111 , tonite after a very stressful
day and then coming home too argue with with my sister , I take it and it says HI Keytones , !! Ok I take it again it went down ..
Does stress raise the Blood Sugar that much ? I am not on meds yet
I am trying to control it with diet and exercise … Its been doing
pretty good … My meter is a Reli-on , not sure if its the best
but It was all I could afford at the time , the strips are so expensive ..
Is it possible that the meter is off ? Yes I suppose , but the stress today was unbelievable ….
Any thoughts?

Can you please help me with my high blood sugar problem?

BGS Blogger — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 23:35:27 +0000

and you are? asked:

I am experiencing a loss of (or kind of like a blur and inability to focus my eye-site. ) . I have had a little bit of nausea( I think from drinking much ice tea and water at 5:30 am while at work.) Through up just water 2 or three mornings starting last Wednesday. I am also getting fatigued easily this last week. I work as a Cook and it is not a good time right now for this. I thought these “side effects ” could be from taking a High blood pressure medicine called Licinaperil, because these effects and more were on the prescrption bag. I have been taking lisinoperl for over a month though. I also take a generic for zantec(heartburn) and lexapro. I was told after a blood test from my doctor that my blood sugar was high. This was after two bllod tests two weeks apart. He prescribed me METFORMIN HCL ER 500. That was almost two weeks ago and I did not get it until today. My father and I looked on web md and these were also side effects , and this makes more sense to use. Do you think this will take care of my symptoms. My doctor did not call me back today but I did leave him a note with my problems. I tested my blood sugar with test strips to day and it read like 330. I have always have had great vision. I am a little scared. Thank you

Why does my kitten have blood in her feces?

BGS Blogger — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 18:58:43 +0000

shelby73nichole asked:

We just brought a 2 month old kitten home yesterday and she was acting fine. Nervous as usual, but nothing we didn’t expect. Today, she decided to take a pee on my counter top, and take a poop as well. I cleaned both up, and on the bottom side of the feces was like a strip of blood? I read that it could be stress and changing food can do it too. I just want to get other opinions. I could imagine it being stress because we have 2 dogs and another cat, and also yesterday for the night we had an extra dog we were doggy-sitting.
And i also think she went potty on the counter because thats where she has been sleeping because of the dogs, and I think she is scared of the dogs as of right now.

Please tell me what you think this could be?
And don’t yell and say “TAKE HER TO THE VET ASAP” because its sunday night. If it’s that important, she will go to the vet first thing Monday morning.
also, the blood was not like mixed in with the feces. It was more like almost hanging on the underside of it because when I picked it up, the blood kind of like started sliding.
And the feces was like a tanish color and soft.
