He also wanted to sleep more than eat after taking Mirtazapine as well, even though it was only 1/4 of a 15mg tablet...

I had given him 1/4 of a tablet of Mirtazapine for a couple of weeks, but I didn't care for the side effects. Yea he ate more, but he looked listless and restless shortly after taking that medication.

Thanks for the responses. A week and 1/2 ago, he had a swollen lymph node on the left side of his body. That swollen lymph node has been gone for a week now, but I'm still having them do an ultra-sound tomorrow morning just to make sure they don't seen anything Lymphoma wise. Although I've had...

would chicken allergy also apply to science diet chicken dry formula? Because I know he's been on that as well as the wet food... I tried to bring up the "allergy" thingy with my vet and she just told me that something like that is extremely rare and then she didn't discuss it anymore with me...

My cat has had some problems with vomiting in the past, and I'm thinking he may have FIP as all his blood work is good and he's been sleeping much more and not playing the last couple of months. The vet is currently looking into everything regarding that.... However, recently I wanted to...

Thanks again for the replies. Well it's done.... :(. the first time I put a cat down I didn't stay, because I really didn't know any better, and I get traumatized easily. This time I went half way. I stayed with him and loved on him for the first sedation. Then once he was asleep and no...

Thanks everyone for all your replies. You are all amazing and so caring here. And I'm so sorry for everyone else who lost a fur baby here as well...........My appointment today is at 11:30(3 more hours) I wish it was earlier, but only because I don't want my buddy to suffer anymore than he has...

Hi All. I'm new to posting on this forum. I've mostly been a lurker and this is an amazing site. Best site out there on cats. I have a question, I'm putting my Scottish Fold fur baby Jasper down tomorrow. He's 7 years old, has heart disease(didn't get it until 4 years old), and advanced...

Thanks Pat for your quick response. I think Costco only has the Lactated Ringers Solution though. I guess I can get that instead of the Normosol-R... My cat also has hyperthyroidism and just a little bit of heart disease. I'm not sure if that factored into me getting Normosol-R instead?.... Or...

Hi all, I have a question. I've been researching quite a bit about subcutaneous fluids and my cat recently started taking Normosol-R a few days ago. Most resources out there encourage you to look online if cost is an issue, which it is with me.... So, just curious what type of experience you...

Thanks everyone for all your replies. Maybe I can compromise and just pet him while I'm in the room and then keep my eyes closed while I keep petting them as they are giving him the shot, and and then after they give him the shot, and he passes, I can walk out of the room. At least that way...

Hi all. I'm about to lose my cat soon due to a number of different illnesses including Kidney Disease. He's 17 years old and quite a fighter. Anyway, after the grieving process is over and I've spent some time celebrating the life of my sweet cat, I planned to get a scottish fold kitten...

Hi all, I'm new to this board. I have a 17 year old with hyperthyroidism and kidney disease. I'm getting ready to do the fluids and the vet also wants to introduce K/D wet cat food which Im fine with, but I have a question unrelated..... When it comes to putting my cat down, I honestly don't...
