My cat was recently diagnosed  with asthma. I had been using Fresh Step Extreme scented & it is ridiculously dusty. Previously, I had been using unscented Petco litter (which I love) & Arm & Hammer Double Duty (which is ok). I'm looking for a litter that is more readily available than Petco's...

I feel like there is something bigger going on with her that the vet is missing. She has been off all pain medications since Friday to see how she would do over the weekend. She did do ok but her litter box habits have not gone back to normal. She’s been friendlier than usual & more vocal which...

Yikes that's not good! She likes the dry food (which I'm very happy about because she is sooo picky) and I do plan on trying the SO morsels but my vet was out. They started her on Tramadol because I thought trying to get the Buprenex into her was too stressful. However, trying to trick her into...

It did show crystals but she said that can be common. At this point we don't know what has been causing the bladder to be inflamed. The days prior to putting her on the diet she was only producing 2-3 small pees a day which is not common at all for her. After the food (& some burprenex) she's...

Last week my almost 3 year old female had to go to the vet. She was having UTI like symptoms & having had a UTI earlier in the year I wanted to make sure I caught this one early. Her urinalysis showed she did not have a UTI but did have cystitis. The vet recommended switching her food to Royal...

After doing xrays it showed that she had a blockage in her stomach so they had to do exploratory surgery. Turns out that over the last couple of months she'd been eating my hair ties. They pulled about 25 inches worth of ties out of her. She's been home since Thursday night with me and is...

I haven't seen her drink however they did IV fluids with her today so I'm not too worried. She didn't do xrays so tomorrow I think I'm going to bring her back & have them done. She did mention she thought it was a virus, I have meed but shes spitting them out when I pill her & I feel like I'm...

She threw up twice again about 20 minutes ago. It was all bile since she hasn't ate & has no interest in eating. I rubbed some wet food on her teeth & she did lick it off but still didn't entice her to eat.

My 2 year old spayed female tabby has recently fell ill. Last Thursday I noticed she'd thrown up saliva & figured it might just be a hairball. Her appetite was still normal at that point. However, every day since Thursday she's thrown up (no sign of food in her vomit) & its not like her to throw...

The only thing I can think of is that Tigger (the outdoor cat) had a litter of kittens in late January of 2011 and the kittens left in March. Quick digression: Tigger was a feral who we started feeding when she was a kitten because all attempts to catch her failed and we didn't want her to...

Hey Guys, My friend and his parents are at their wits end and don't know what to do anymore. Their cat Patches started peeing in the house just about a year ago and won't/rarely uses her litter box. She either pees/poops on the floor by the litter box or pees on their hard wood or carpet. She's...

Out of interest..

I hope it's just scar tissue. It seems like it bulges out a bit at the top and bottom of the incision but other than that looks pretty normal. She's been bouncing around the last few days & is definitely started to feel like herself again as she finally started to eat her dry food again!!

Her incision/shaved stomach feels warm but do you think thats just heat from her body? She actually went for her dry food today for the first time since her surgery so she's definitely starting to bounce back. She hasn't drank much water though. She's still very cuddly which is different. She...

The top part of her incision felt very hard last night. What are your thoughts on that?
