The vet also outlined the CHOP protocol but that sounds so very intense, requiring weekly visits that I think would really stress my buddy out. I think I might be leaning towards trying the chemo as long as it is only requiring monthly visits. I just really worry that doing "really well" on...

Hi, I only seem to end up on this site when things are bad, so here I am again... I have a 14 year old cat who has been diagnosed with "intermediate to high grade" lymphoma. Right now, he's still eating but throwing up about once a day and seeming otherwise a bit off. We visited the...

Thank you all for the good vibes and positive thoughts. We still don't know much more. His urine was of a good concentration, no blockage, and it isn't diluted. Which is a relief, but doesn't get us any answers.. His Creatinine levels are high still. They gave him some fluids while at the vet...

Still not much word, and I'm still very scared.  His creatinine levels are high, which is super duper scary for indications of kidney problems, but he isn't thirsty or drinking, and he isn't urinating. So maybe URI.  But there's still no answer. 

He's about 6 years old.  He seems to have been going to the bathroom, and had a big bowel movement last night.  I worry about bowel blockages, for sure, cause he definitely eats lots of 'bits" of stuff off the floor, and tears at the newspaper all the time. He's dropped off at the vet now, but...

I'm very worried about my cat, and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to deal.  He hasn't eaten much in 48 hours.  Two mornings ago was the last time he ate a meal normally. That evening two days ago, my fiancee gave him his usual evening meals with a little water in added. He...

I'm doing a test today to see if he'll eat it after a while, giving him a whole can all at once to see what he does with it. If he won't eat it all, I think I will consider boarding.

Ever since he had a urinary tract infection he has been eating wet food. I'm not sure how he'd react to dry anymore. Unfortunately, I can't find any friends who would be able to make it out to my apartment on a daily basis, which is why we're considering hiring someone in the first place. I've...

Guy really likes a ball with a bell in it, inside a loosely closed paper bag. But I have no idea if he plays with it while nobody is around. What is this peek a prize thing? I'm curious.

I am going to be going on a trip for 4 days, 3 nights but I'm concerned about leaving my kitty! I want to have someone come over to feed him, but I'm wondering how to work out his feeding. He eats 1 and a half cans of wet food per day, and we usually give it to him split up to 3 times a day. I'm...

Wonderful! That does help, thank you.

Not sure he will let me, but I will try!

Dang these wasps, and cats that don't know better than to chase them! Guy has a sting on his paw and I feel terrible...even though he doesn't seem to. He keeps licking the paw (which is swelling up like a cartoon) but he's walking on it...and still chasing birds that fly by the window. I...

He's never really peed in anything but the litter box, which is part of what gets me about this whole thing. He was still peeing in the litter box, in between peeing in the chair, too. I'm thinking the shape might (somehow) be the issue for him. I don't think I could cover it in bubble wrap as...

Well, it's confirmed as not a UTI. But he did manage to break into the closet where I have the cushion shoved away just to re-pee on it...before the enzyme stuff was even dry.
