How long is a cat in pain after spaying/neutering?
Most cats are past spay pain within 3 days - often 24 hours for sturdy ones. Use vet-prescribed pain relief and an E-collar until healed.
How to Spot Joint Pain in Your Cat
Cats endure pain stoically and stay calm even when suffering, so illness is often found late — breaking every owner's heart.
Some of my cat’s claws are hollow and one paw is very painful and won’t be touched
A painful, untouchable paw is likely from injury or infection. Check the paw to find the cause; if unsure, see a vet. For an injury, shave the area, rinse with saline, disinfect with iodine, then apply anti-inflammatory medicine and keep an Elizabethan collar on. If infected, also give antibiotics.
My cat just came back from outside and started panting, running around, and twitching now and then; it looks in pain and has hidden somewhere. What’s going on? Can someone help?
Panting and twitching after coming home may be stress or something eaten outside; secondary epilepsy can't be ruled out. See a vet promptly; if timid, avoid taking it out to prevent severe stress.
10 days after first imported vaccine, a cat-ringworm patch appeared; left front leg swollen with hard lump, walks fine; after two days front part reduced but hard lump remains, back part unchanged, painful, not red, no ringworm/hair loss there. Is it ringworm or vaccine lump? Vaccine was in neck.
Ringworm rarely causes limb lumps; vaccine was in neck, so unrelated. Sudden limb lump needs a vet check - trauma, skin disease, arthritis, or bone. If scaling/redness appears, suspect fungal/skin; iodine locally, then treat by result.
My cat’s leg hurts – feels like a dislocation; the left leg trembles with pain, can’t be touched on the lower body, cries at any light touch.
Leg pain can come from arthritis, injury, sprain, fracture, or trauma. Bone issues need an X-ray at the vet. At home, try broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory and joint supplements for 3-4 days.
Cat has had symptoms for three days; today hid, found with bloated belly, cries in pain when touched, won’t eat, drank some warm water
Bloating, pain, and not eating may come from indigestion, parasites, or feline ascites. Watch for breathing difficulty, which would point to ascites. The cat is in poor state; take it to the vet at once for emergency care to avoid worsening.
I see something on my cat’s head; it won’t let me touch it and may be painful.
The photo is blurry but shows hair loss and red skin, possibly from trauma or skin disease. For a scratch, clean, disinfect, and apply anti-inflammatory treatment. If it doesn't improve, infection is likely—identify the type and treat properly.
Since getting four shots on the 16th, my cat went from vomiting a few times a week while still eating, to vomiting over ten times a day. Yesterday she cried out in pain when touched, probably aching all over. She was in heat the day of the shots and hasn’t eaten since, now throwing up yellow fluid. What’s wrong?
Vomiting with pain in a cat points to digestive or liver disease, and blind medication can make it worse. The worsening vomiting risks collapse, so a vet exam is urgent to find and treat the cause.
Cat has local black on bridge of nose, hard raised skin under fur, seems painful when pressed
The cat's nose lesion looks like a post-injury scab; apply iodine and let it heal. Spreading or a Wood's-lamp green glow indicates ringworm needing antifungals.
