Question 1

docs, could a cat scan detect signs of an unruptured aneurysm?

Accepted Answer

Yes: And that is the goal of screening abdominal ultrasounds or cat scans. Finding the aneurysm before it ruptures is the only way to electively repair and prevent death from a ruptured aneurysm.

Question 3

advice needed on rabies shot. bitten by cat  (no rabies signs) had vaccine booster. do i need rabies 5 shot regime treatment? thanks.

Accepted Answer

Need info: If the cat is up to date with their rabies vaccine booster you would not need a rabies prophylaxis series. If not, the need would be guides by local health officials. Domestic cats are a low risk source in most areas unless wild. Local authorities also keep track of whether rabies is present in the region.

: Cats can transmit many infections including rabies . Giving cat a rabies shot after it bit you does nothing for you. Best is to get checked by your doc.

Question 9

i was bitten by my cat last night, its actually a puncture wound. what are some signs that i should go see a doctor?

Accepted Answer

Cat Bite: I hoped that you washed it with copious amounts of water.
The signs can be redness, pus coming from the wound, swelling, inflammation, streaks of redness, fever, pain, etc.

Question 10

im having blood in my urine but no signs of infection and all my tests were normal even a cat scan .. ?

Accepted Answer

Hematuria: Are you able to see the blood or is it only present under the microscope? Can you be sure it's not from the vaginal area? Have you been evaluated by a urologist? Perhaps a bladder cystoscopic examination would be advisable for thorough evaluation of hematuria. I recommend consulting a urologist if you haven't been seen by one and blood in urine persists.
