Thanks for the feedback. He only eats wet food. I switched to that only after we got his bloodwork results the first time in march. Had no idea dry food could do that, but obviously switching him to wet food is helping to lower his liver enzyme levels. I will look into the other meds with...

Omigosh, I'm sorry your cat is going through this. Poor thing. What can they do to confirm he diagnosis/treat the fluid? Did they maybe recommend a specialist? I hope your cat gets better soon.

My 14.5 year old diabetic cat Petey has been very sick for the past month. I took him in to the vet for his annual in March 18th and he was fine --I thought. My main concern at the time was that for the previous months of Jan and Feb, he had started eating ashes out of the fireplace but the vet...

My 16 week old male kitten has been sick with an URI for 12 days. He has had a conjunctivitis for 10 days as well. The vet has put him on oral Clavimox and antibiotic drops. When the antibiotic drops weren't working, he was put on a combo antibiotic/steroid drops. The entire time he had been...

Well, yesterday was one of the worst days of my life and the end of Grimmy's life. Yesterday morning Grimmy didn't seem well. I had slept in the extra bedroom with him since that's where he seemed to be wanting to be-away from everyone in the house I suppose. I was hopeful b/c he ate...

His bloodwork actually came back normal. I was thrilled to hear his kidneys and liver were functioning properly. His WBC was elevated. The cytology report came back inconclusive as far as detecting any cancer cells in his abdominal fluid that was extracted. I have him on Clavimox twice a day.

Thank you all for your replies. Each of you have valid points, which are pretty similar to what I have been thinking. I keep going back and forth. Today was a good day for my cat, for the most part. His name is Grimmy by the way, and we think he is around 12-16 years old. He has always been...

When my Tommy had a herpes conjunctivitis last month, I gave him the lysine, but the vet also put him on an antibiotic drop and Interferon eye drops. it took a couple of weeks but he is better now. Stress will cause it to flare up sometimes. Good luck- I hope it resolves soon.

She said as with any surgery there's always a risk. I asked her if she felt he was too sick to operate and she said he was as viable as any other cat in his situation she would do surgery on.

Thank you for the reply. Do you think his age increases his risk of not healing properly? That is one of my concerns. The other is, does chemo have the same affect as it does in humans, ie;, does it make them sick? he would have to do it every 4 weeks.

My stray cat that I've had for almost 1 1/2 years is sick. They believe he has cancer- some type of lymphoma. he is an old cat they estimate around 14-16 yrs. 1 week ago I noticed his behavior changing. Didn't wake me up in morning, didn't sleep in his normal spot. Then on Thurs we noticed...
