hi all, My rather large cat stands on the edge of the litter box to pee and poop. Sometimes he perches with all four feet balanced on the edge of the box. Someone once told me his box was too small so I got a bigger box. He still does it. My smaller cat also does this on occasion. Does anyone...

Thanks Bruce, I had already canceled my plane ticket. I was supposed to leave at 3:30 this morning. While I do trust the pet sitter I wasn’t comfortable leaving my cat when the outcome is becoming more and more attuned towards needing to go under anesthesia for a manual clean out. I wouldn’t get...

Thanks for replying. By the time of your reply I had already cancelled my plane ticket. I was supposed to leave for the airport at 3:30 this morning. There are no Boarding facilities in my area that will take a cat on less than a full day’s notice. My vet does not offer this service; I called an...

He still has not pooped. I was so stressed out that I forgot to take food away last night so I have to call the vet and schedule a manual clean out for tomorrow. Pretty peeved that I forgot.

I cancelled my flight. I talked to someone in a vet advice group and they told me it sounds like a big impaction and that he sounds mostly obstipated and needs to go to emergency vet. They also said not to take him back to my regular vet because they sound like idiots who have put my cat in...

He got sub-q fluids at the vet today. I forgot to mention that. Should I give him pedialyte anyway? Or is that too much? I live really far away from the nearest grocery store that’s open this late (because apparently 8pm) is late. It’s about 40 minutes away and I’m unsure if they carry kitten...

Thanks. I just don’t know what to do. My sister’s children will be there and I haven’t seen them in several years...doubling the need to go to the funeral. I’m just so stuck. It’s like...why can’t he just go poop? I will end up not going because I’ll stress myself sick. And then he will poop...

She promised to send pics and stuff but she’s not staying at my house. She will see them in the morning and the afternoon tomorrow and Sunday. I am looking for ways to get home tomorrow evening. I might have to fly into a different airport and take an Uber to the airport where I left my car. Or...

I’ve been trying that but they’re either all closed for the day or their require a meet and greet ahead of time. I have to be to the airport at 6am in a City 2.5 hours away. It’s so stressful.

Sunday I thought my cat had peed blood in the litter box. He was cleared of having a UTI by bloodwork and urinalysis. He’s peeing fine as of Monday. However, the symptoms persisted. He pooped Monday night and it was normal. However, he then vomited undigested food on Tuesday around 3am. I...

We made a pee pee! A good sized yellow one. Thank god. This is where I zonk out. 2:45am.

Thanks! It’s just before 1am my time now. He was with me in the bedroom at first but both he and Drew were too upset so I switched it about midnight and cleaned the other litter box. No pee yet but he has pooped. I just gave him some homemade chicken broth and a half dose of gabapentin to make...

Yesterday I saw something weird in the litter box that looked possibly like blood tinged urine. After watching my two cats for several hours and not sleeping overnight I narrowed it down to Phanta and noticed he may have not peed in over 12 hours. I took him to the vet and they did a urinalysis...

If you have the round scissors clippers for clipping cat nails, you can easily and safely clip these off, no matter the size and shape.

Thebouv, based on what you're saying, I don't necessarily think the Convenia killed Onyx. I know it's really easy to blame the medicine. But you said that your cat was already weak and dehydrated when you took him to the vet. When your cat is dehydrated the risk of death is a serious one. I...
