    Hello everyone, I really need help with my cat. I've been putting up with his bathroom problems for years, and its taken a turn for the worse, and I am extremely upset. Also he does not have urinary track infection. He sees the vet (two different ones) at least 3-4 times a year because he...

    traveling by plane with sturdibag

    As long as your bag is collapsible and does not look overly large, it will be fine. I have one of the Sherpa bags, and they've never given me any hassle. But to be honest, I think its a little large because I always sort of have to wedge it in under the seat to get it to fit. I've flown with...

    Advice on Cats Flying Cargo/Checked Baggage

    oh HAHA forgot to mention that I'll be driving with my cousin and we'll be switching off. No way would I try to dive 24 hours straight by myself ^__^. And the cost of driving versus flying for two cats is roughly 50% less if I can make the drive from LA to austin in 24 hous. If not then its...

    Advice on Cats Flying Cargo/Checked Baggage

    I just wanted to thank everyone for their time and advice. I've decided that I will be driving the cats cross country this time, and cutting back my return trips to only twice a year. On that note, any advice for traveling 24hours ish straight on a car with two cats?

    Advice on Cats Flying Cargo/Checked Baggage

    The airline that I was considering was American Airlines. I called their service number directly and from what I remember the only restrictions was weight and species. Also why is it a bad idea for two adult cats to fly together but not two kittens just curious?

    Advice on Cats Flying Cargo/Checked Baggage

    Hello everyone, I'm currently a college student, and last year I flew my two cats to college with me and back home for a total of 6 times, and the cost of doing so was staggering. It was roughly 225 per cat one way (includes vet bills). As you can see, I spent a ridiculous amount of money...

    Genetic health testing

    Hi guys sorry to interrupt the flow of the conversation, but how do you guys find a board certified feline cardiologist? I'm just wondering is there a website that has a directory and list of all of them? For reference, I live in Los Angeles, if that helps narrow it down. Thank you

    X-ray vs Ultrasound

    the level of creatine in his system is 2.6 mg/dl whereas the blood test says that normal range is .8-2.4 Okay so xray should be the first best. Can it also check for the kidneys at the same time?

    X-ray vs Ultrasound

    Hi guys, My cat Mozart has been throwing up once a day for about 2ish weeks now. I took him to the vet on Friday, and had a physical, urine analysis, and blood test done. Physical came out fine, urine analysis was clean. Problem was that his creatine levels were a lil high. So the vet in...

    Leash-training update

    I personally use a combination to prevent slipouts. I use the roman harness that a lot of people recommend as well as a step in harness. I find the dual combination prevents my cats from escaping even when pulling back since the two are different styles. Still trying to get my bengal to walk...
