I have been watching my daughters cat since June. I cannot find the carrier and she needs her nails clipped..They are long she is catching on everything. She is overgrooming and sad. I feel so bad for her. Do you know of a place I can give a credi
You cannot give the cat that medication. Most vets office can trim nails with out doing anything and may have a carrier for you. Depending on your area, there may be a mobile vet or groomer than can come to you to do this for you. I would start with contacting a vet's office or local groomer and they can assist you or provide you with someone in town that can if needed.

My kitten has a infected nail and I was wondering what I could do or give her to help her at home. I really don't have the money to take her to the vet at the moment.
This presentation could be due to a trauma or localized spot of skin infection (likely to be caused by bacteria). A check up, appropriate disinfection and possibly antibiotics are needed to solve the problem, but disinfection can be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths (twice daily for 4-5 days). Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid any licking.

I just rescued my 1 year old kitty. She is perfectly healthy and grooms all the time. She is an American Bobtail Tortie Shell with medium hair. How often should I take her to the groomer to get bathed, her nails clipped, and to have her hair trimmed?
Cats generally do not require bathes because they are so great about cleaning and grooming themselvs. Their nails naturally shed every 6-8 weeks and having them clipped actually leads to scratching because they want to make them sharp. As far as hair trimmed, that is personal preference for you. Try to brush her daily to get her used to it so there will be no tangles or mats. IF a mat does develop, then she will it cut out by the groomer. Her teeth should be brushed at least 3 times a week if able and you can do this at home with finger tooth brush and feline approved tooth past to help.

A week ago my cat started to bite her nails. She won’t stop doing it throughout the day. We have plenty of scratchers. We tried trimming her nails. She continues. I don’t see anything wrong with her paws, I cleaned them just to make sure. It’s like a
Hello. This could be a behavioral issue, or a behavioral issue plus paronychia ( skin infection around the nail/claws ). Even though you do not see anything unusual, a veterinarian can examine the skin, do a skin impression to see if there is a population of bacteria or yeast organisms present around the nail beds. An appropriate treatment can then be started. Often, this could also be an indication, & the only evidence of, an allergy. Allergies can come from the food or the environment & can be challenging to distinguish in cats with mild symptoms. So it is very helpful to get professional help with this. Good luck & thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hi! My kitty has always been an excessive groomer and recently she started cleaning / picking at her nails a lot throughout the day , even when she hasn't just eaten . Is this concerning ? Thank you ( her nails were trimmed about 3 months ago )
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This is possibly due to allergies. It really comes down to figuring out what is causing her allergies so that they can be treated or the specific allergen avoided. A secondary infection is likely and also needs to be addressed. There are many things that can cause allergies though in most cases they can be broken down into 3 big categories: flea, food and environmental allergies. Allergies are usually worked up in a stepwise fashion starting with flea allergies as this is the easiest and cheapest to take care of. If not on a flea preventative, then it would be a good idea to get started on one. If already on one then it would be a good idea to change to something else (there are many new products out in the market). If not improved in 1-3 months then it is time to move on and check for food allergies by switching to a novel diet (new protein and new carbohydrate). If that does not seem to be the issue then you are left out having to check for envir
