I'm also having trouble with a senior kitty with an extremely sensitive stomach. Switching to wet-food only has eliminated the vomiting, but he still has constant runny poops. So far we've tried: Dry: Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Stomach - Lamb & Rice formula (terrible vomiting and diarrhea) Wet...

I've always used Frontline Plus on my cats and it works great, but accidentally ordered Advantage this month and decided to use that anyway since it had good reviews. However, I found 2 ticks on my cat just a week after applying the Advantage, and they've never had ticks. I checked the box and...

My 7 year old female himalayan got an inner ear infection from a case of ear mites a few weeks ago. We took her to the vet and they treated her for it and we're still medicating her with drops and we just finished off the anti-biotics. Before the infection, she refused to eat canned food. Now...

We have 3 cats, and the 2nd one lately has been driving everyone mad including the other 2 cats. He loves people-attention, and he wants it from us constantly. We try to give him as much attention as we can but as soon as we settle down to watch tv or go to bed, he starts either shredding any...

Thanks for your suggestions, everyone. I called the vet last night, and he asked me to email him the pictures. I told him about my concern that it was feline mange, and he said he didn't think it would be that since it popped up so quickly. He thinks it's probably an allergic reaction to...

I found this little guy a few weeks ago in a parking lot. We took him to the vet last week for a check up, shots, and the vet recommended he go ahead and be neutered while we were there since he was at least 6 months old. There are some larger pics of the problem here. The bare spots...

I just took in a stray kitten that came up to me last night as I was walking out of Family Dollar. He likes to be held and doesn't scratch or bite even when playing. But about 20 minutes ago he thought I was going to put him in the sink while my mom was doing dishes and he dug into my chest with...

I want to build a garden outside my kitchen window because my cat loves to watch the sun come up and every once in a while we have some birds. She is an indoor cat, but absolutely freaks out when I take her outside, so I want to bring a little more amusement and nature to her. I don't want a...

Oh sorry, She just turned 3. Believe it or not she's never coughed up a hair ball! I'm sure it's food, because sometimes when she vomits, I see pieces of it in there. It's an orange color and sometimes it's more mushy solid (for lack of a better term), but the past two days it's been more...

Normally, when she vomits, it's when she's had too many snacks. But I've stopped giving her snacks days ago, and she's still vomiting. She doesn't do it more than once a day, and it's usually at night. It isn't right after she eats. Also, recently it seems the hair on her bottom lip is...

Himalayan, here.

I have another question. Since she got the shot about a week ago, the ulcer is almost gone, but she has been less and less playful. Is that expected? I try to get her to run around and play with me or sit and play with a toy, but she just gets irritated with me.

Thanks for the link, Kevin. She is an indoor cat, and we have been treating her with Advantage for fleas for over a year now, but she still gets them every now and then. So there's nothing I could have really done to prevent this? Somebody clear my conscience. The vet said the lesion should...

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I took her to the vet yesterday, and he said it probably was a rodent ulcer. He gave her a shot, and it's starting to look better. I changed her over to glass bowls, too, just in case that was the problem. She doesn't like the new bowls, though. She'll stand a...

I just noticed yesterday that my cat's left side of her top lip is lumpy. Is it something I should be worried about? Should I have the vet check it out? I tried to get a good picture but she wouldn't hold still. She's a blue-point himalayan, if that makes any difference. Thanks.
