Avatar f tn Most cats with head injuries should be hospitalized at least for 24 hours in an emergency facility with 24-hour coverage. That way, treatment can be instituted immediately if the cat shows a change in condition. Here's what I would do if this happened to our cat. I would phone your vet. I would speak to the vet's receptionist and tell her what's happened. How the cat is behaving etc. , perhaps even speak to the vet if possible. Let the vet tell you what you should do.
Avatar m tn Revolution is primarily a treatment for fleas in cats and dogs but it is approved for ear mites in both.
Avatar m tn I have been playing football for 3 years now and no serious injuries in the past two. A few days ago i started getting a pain on my left foot about 2-3 inches above the big toe. It hurts the most when I walk up stairs or walk in general. When playing football i dont feel any pain what so ever because my mind is focused on the game. I am a Defensive linemen and i am 6'5" 290 lbs if that helps. There is no bruising or swelling. Please help me!
Avatar m tn If there is redness there is probably infection. There is a problem with foot injuries because oral antibiotics generally do not have sufficient strength to deal with infections in the extremities, which often require intravenous medications. So the answer is yes, you definitely require medical attention. If the infection goes into the bones and you develop osteomyelitis you may have to have your foot amputated so this is not an insignificant issue. Go to general quarters.
Avatar n tn and I believe that there are nerves in these crushed fleshes, and in fact, according to my experiences, I had major nervous system injuries from the crushed foot, or I also call this the 'zone of crush'.
Avatar n tn I was referred to an orthopedic who then ordered a bone scan but did not find anything however he did put my foot in a cast to see if it helped with the pain and swelling. 3 weeks later my foot was still the same and the cast was taken off. He scheduled an mri and the mri showed that my 5th metatarsal was too long. He said that was probably something I was born with. He said he did not know what was wrong with my foot and sent me to see a foot and ankle specialist.
Avatar n tn It won't be a period. She doesn't have a uterus any more, and cats don't get periods anyway. Are you sure it's from the cats? If you're the only person living in your home and you know *you* haven't been bleeding, look over both bats carefully for injuries. If you're not finding anything, take both kitties to the vet.
Avatar n tn It arises in one foot or the other -- I do not have simultaneous pain in both appendages at once. The pain is usually in the area of the ball of the foot, but not always. It can last up to 10-15 seconds. Then it dissipates. There is no trauma-related or exercise-related component -- I have no known athletic injuries inducing pain of this kind. No past foot-related issues of any kind. No pains of this sort anywhere else in my body. Ideas?
Avatar m tn It defiantly can not be a shin splint. This pain is just a few inches above the big toe knuckle. It's been a couple weeks with this pain in the foot. Walking barefoot in my house i feel no pain unless i press on the area then i feel a mass amount even with painkillers. If i have my cleats or runners on i feel pain all the time. I think im defiantly to young for falling arches...
Avatar n tn Hi, I have a pain in my right foot. It is on the top of my foot and only last a few seconds then goes away. Seems to happen most when I am relaxed or laying down. I can't recall any injuries, there is no bruising and does not hurt to touch or press. It is quite painful while it's happening and has been going on for the last 3 days. Does anyone know what this might be or how I can stop it from happening?
Avatar f tn My son is now almost 13, when he was approx 6 we were told he had webbed feet as 2 toes on either foot appeared to be shorter.
Avatar m tn Thank you, for your answer... I don't have any of the disorders that you mentioned above. I've already been checked for Diabetes, Thyroid Dysfunction and neurological disorders... all negative....However, the nerve compression could be a possibility or the Vitamin B deficiency. I am leaning more toward, one thing that you mentioned... the vibration job...
Avatar n tn m out of shape) or just my clumsiness (popped my hip/glute muscle awhile back walking in my back yard and got foot in hole in grass, sigh). Nothing like that has happened? I remedy lots of that with stretching, icy hot and rest. Plantar fasciitis also comes to mind. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/plantar-fasciitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20354846 It often starts in the back of the foot. (have had this as well, started in my heel). It hurts.
Avatar f tn You need an x-ray. I fractured a metatarsal bone (upper top of foot) while in the military and it took a year to heal, and I still have pain decades later. Generally there is a "window of opportunity" to immobilize such a fracture, and if missed the bone won't heal without surgery.
1474611 tn?1416632958 We have a cat who likes to be in the bathroom when I'm in there. It doesn't matter if I'm using the toilet or in the shower. When I'm in the shower, he's content to just sit in the bathroom while I'm showering. My husband has to chase our cat out at least 3 or 4 times. It's like our cat has a separation thing. When I come home, he's all over me and the fact that I'm home.
Avatar f tn The other day I had a slight pain in my right foot. Like I pulled a muscle or something other. Last night it hurt worse. Hurt to step on it and hurt to put my shoes on. Tonight, it's so intense I want to cry. If I lift my foot up. Move my toes. Step on it. Anything it's terrible. I didn't do anything to my foot. No injuries or trama to it. I do however have server anxiety. And don't know if I should just rest it up, or rush to the doctor. -.
Avatar m tn I dont know the mechanism of your injury but take your time healing. Dont over do it in any way. All my research has shown me that foot injuries have a nasty habit of leaving you with unexplained residual pain. Good luck!

Avatar m tn In the last 2-3 years have acquired severe pain in ankle and foot! I get a burning pain in center of foot and at the ball behind big toe it stays sore to the touch.. .. Any recommendations!???
Avatar n tn Other conditions that can cause foot pain include ligament injuries and joint irritation. These problems can also be relieved with more accommodating footwear. Treatment of foot pain often consists of anti-inflammatory medications, footwear modifications, and inserts for your shoes. Metatarsal pads help to take pressure off the ball of the foot. If some simple steps do not alleviate your symptoms, you should see your doctor to ensure you are receiving adequate treatment.
Avatar f tn 2 months ago I started noticing a problem with my right ankle. When I would not have sneakers on my ankle felt a little weak but I ignored and kept pushing it off (no health ins) Fast forward 2 months I can barely put any weight on it, I jump out of the shower so I can put sneakers on (even in well fitted sneakers I'm noticing it's not helping) I can't stand on it too long I get some pain here and there but it's really the weakness and not feeling stable.
5780747 tn?1386650207 I am 33w 4d and this past week Ive finally have consistent swelling in the feet and ankles.. This morning was the first time that my swelling did not go down after sleeping all night, which they normally do. I know swelling is very common and I just maybe over thinking it since it is my first pregnancy but Ive had injuries throughout the years and when it is swollen, elevation is one of the key factors to help. So I am becoming a little concerned although my boyfriend tells me Im fine..

Avatar f tn The spot is in the middle between her toes. I have 4 cats and something is always wrong so im always putting money into the vet. I have alot of amoxicillan. I no i probably shouldnt give it to her because its 4 months old I did give a little pain pill. Is there anything that i can do to help her without taking her to the vet?
Avatar n tn I injured a tendon in my right foot several times. Recently, 5 months, I have had severe pain, could not walk on it. I used an ankle brace, heat, ice and rested it but it has not resolved itself completely. Is there anything left to do?
Avatar f tn Hello, I'm hoping you can offer me some advice please. Four weeks ago a can of hot dogs fell on my foot from the kitchen work surface. It hurt at the time and some swelling and bruising occurred. I didn't think I'd broken it and tried to carry on as normal. After a couple of days the pain subsided, just kept bothering me on and off for the next few days. After wearing some 3 inch heels for a day the pain started up again.
