Here are a couple of suggestions: I switched to a Breeze litter box, and if your cat will use it, it's a great option. No litter dust or tracking everywhere and when the cat pees, the urine gets collected in a pad contained in a drawer which really cuts down on the urine odor. The only thing...

That is such great news! I've been dealing with the conjunctivitis also for the past 2 plus weeks. My little male got it (started after one of my older cats had been sneezing for a few days), and he got the teramycin gel in his eyes (luckily he is very easy to medicate), and now that he's...

Bumping this for an update!

I feel so bad for you reading your post! Even though the tests came back negative, I'd be willing to be that your little guy has giardia or trichomonisis. Both of these critters are very hard to find on tests - as somebody else mentioned, most times the cats will be treated AS IF they are...

Oh my - I had forgotten all about my original post! Well, Thank God I didn't have Bubba euthanized as the vet suggested. Luckily, I had the money to have all his teeth taken out (I went to a vet dental specialist) and he did very well afterwards. He's been fairly healthy since but had a...

Hi all. During the few times I used topical flea products on my cats, the product I always used was Revolution. I bought it from my vets; it seemed to work well and never made my cats ill. I haven't had any kind of a flea problem in years, until now, when I brought home a kitten was...

7 cats in a studio condo - God Bless you guys! I had 13 in a 3 bedroom apt and that was challenging enough. The air filter unit is a great idea - I had to get one when I developed asthma. Also, if you are able to, please get rid of carpeting and have tile or vinyl floors. The carpet makes...

Thank you for the replies.  I took poor old Meichi back to vets and the vet looked in his mouth and said that he thought he had a fast growing oral cancer!  I don't understand why this was missed on the previous 2 visits, but they wanted to keep him overnight to do a few more blood tests to see...

Hi everybody,  I should have asked this question 3 weeks ago as it might be too late now.  My 16 year old cat Meichi has appeared to be in kidney failure for over 3 weeks.  Not quite 2 months ago I noticed that he was walking lower on his back legs and took him to the vet.  They did a blood test...

Thank You to all who have posted a reply to my post.   And Thank You Maureen, as I really appreciate from hearing from someone who has gone through this.   I'm still waiting on the bartonella test to come back but I'm going to pick up a copy of the other blood tests tomorrow and request that the...

The back leg stiffness concerns me.   I had a 10 year old cat that got a bit stiff in the back legs (very subtle) but it turned out that he had heart disease.    When diabetes gets bad enough to make your cat act really sick, the cat will generally be very thirsty and hungry as well.    Did the...

I've used Viralys L Lysine powder which I've bought on Amazon.  My cats were okay with it being mixed into wet food - there is also a paste version sold in a tube which has gotten good reviews on Amazon. 

Hi all, I'm a brand new member of this site and found it while searching for answers to some questions. My middle-aged, black cat, Bubba,, was just diagnosed with Stomatitis.  His mouth is a total disaster area and my choice is going to be either euthanize him or have all of his teeth taken...
