OMG I got SO busy and side-tracked I forgot about this until now. (I know, I'm terrible, lol) Well, Jade was much better within a few days. He's been doing great ever since. I feed him Pro Plan UT Health. He's okay with it, but eats it because he has no choice, lol! It was the only brand of...

Okay I saw my cat kept scratching himself under his neck area and I thought maybe it was a tick. No, it was a bald, bleeding spot. No idea where he got it from, it didn't look like he was bitten, there were no teeth marks or any marks of any kind, just very red and bleeding skin. He's not...

Some updates: I administered Jade's meds in the corner of his mouth this evening, little by little and kept his head up. I also stroked his throat and told him what a good boy he was, lol. He's such a mellow and calm cat, it's great. Even the vets loved him. He took ALL his meds, nothing spit...

He's still using the box several times like, every five minutes....is this normal for cats with UTI's?? He just got his first dosage of meds this morning. What a pain that was, LOL! He spit some of it out, but I hope he still got the full dosage although someone of it ended up on the floor, lol...

Thanks for your support, everyone!! Well, here's the scoop...Jade spent a few hours at the vet so they could get a urine sample from him. They did and it turns out he does have a UTI, just like I expected. His bladder was actually empty when we got there. He peed some this morning before we...

I would NEVER declaw my cats. My mom is against that as well. We have a scratching post for Jade. He LOVES it and everytime I come home, he greets me and then goes right to post and scratches, lol. Carmella isn't into that though, but she's much older than him and she just sleeps all the time...

Thanks SOOO much for everything!! I will def. call the vet tomorrow morning and bring him in and look into what kind of food to feed him from now on. I have been giving him and Carmella, my other cat, indoor formula from Purina. Jade (male) seems to love any cat food so I think he'll eat...

That's true...well, I found a good vet that my aunt recommended and I keep trying to call to make an ER appt. for tomorrow morning, but their line is busy. I dunno if they turn off their lines for the night or what. I don't think they're a 24 hour vet. But I will call first thing tomorrow...

I mean, how much is this going to cost and what can I feed him to keep from happening again? I don't understand why he got this when he eats well, drinks plenty of water, always clean....what exactly does the vet do when I take my cat?? Mom's not too thrilled because the vet is SO expensive....I...

Crap....well, I'll see if I can call tomorrow and make an appt. I have no money and I'll have to ask Mom to pay and I'll pay her back. He eats dry food, scheduled meals. Is there anything I can feed him to keep this from happening again?? I'm really worried, now I'll be crying all night!

Hey, I have a one-year-old male gray tabby and he's very healthy and very active, lol. Well, today for the first time, I noticed that he used the litter box a lot. He's an indoor cat, but I take him outside every other day, and let him walk around, get some fresh air and eat some grass. I also...

It's hard because this is my friend for 10 years. I am already beginning to think she has problems and doesn't want to admit it. The dog is not sick....yet, well, prolly already is but has not seemed to show any definite symptoms. Kiwi is a female and was born in Oct. 07' so I would say she's...

The only thing I can come up with is to go to the ASPCA, report to them about disturbance (constant barking) and witness to possible under-nourishment....and let them go to the apt. and look at the dog and decide on what to do....I hope I can do this anonymously....

I need some desperate advice about a possibly malnourished puppy and I need it FAST. But this is about a puppy, not a kitty, but either way, we’re animal lovers and we care about any animal. My best friend, Leah, of 10 years has a Pembroke Welsh Corgi that’s under a year old named Kiwi. She was...

No...$$ But I guess if it's really possible, I'll have to save up. I really think its worms. Panacur worked when he was on it. I think he'll need another treatment. He drinks a lot of water in one sitting, but not constantly.
