Don't see what I'm looking for on either of those sites. I looked at something on ACES before but it wasn't what we found last year.

I work at a vet clinic and we have some clients who have fractious cats or just cats that are nervous and don't like being at the vet. Last year we located something called a cat bagger or cat grabber online and we tried to get the Drs to order it since we are tired of getting bit or scratched...

I have rescued two Japanese Bobtails from a somewhat neglectful situation. They both have uterine and bladder infections for which they are on Clavamox. They have been eaten up by fleas in the past and are thin. I am a German Shepherd Rescuer and I don't know that much about cats. Can...

I recently acquired two Japanese Bobtail sisters from a woman I know who wasn't taking good care of them. She has tried to give them to me before but I couldn't take them at the time. I don't have a place to put them at my house to keep them safe from the dogs. I took them and got them spayed...

Well I switched the antibiotic to Clindamycin as directed by the other vet. Now he is pooping outside of his litter box (he sleeps in his litter box) and he got it all over him the other day. It wasn't really runny, but he is in a small cage and he managed to wallow in it. We tried to bathe...

A friend of mine has two cats that I believe are Japanese Bobtails, sisters. One is black and white, the other is calico. They are sweet kitties and she really needs to find a good home for them, preferably together. She just has too much going on and they are not getting the attention and...

Well after 2 weeks he is healing up good. What used to be raw/bloody skin is now pink skin on the outer edges. The part in the middle is still red but it's really just scabs trying to come off. I discovered that this crazy cat likes Feline Duralactin (liquid) and clavamox drops, he just...

This cat may just be different but the cat I'm treating at the vet is very difficult now to pill. At first he wasn't bad, but his neck is still sore and he's just tired of being messed with so he is nearly impossible to pill, even with a piller. I started giving him liquid Clavamox and also...

Revolution does do ear mites but it seems to me that someone once told me a drop of advantage in the ear would do earmites. Wasn't a vet that told me that though. Dawn Is advantage multi 9 different from plain advantage?

I took him to another vet. He told me to continue the Clavamox that I had started him on for another 20 days and then switch to clindamycin (sp?). Also put an app of Revolution on him and am using Otomax in his ears. I also started giving him Feline Duralactin and I'm going to order some...

My vet routinely prescribes Orbax for cats. I don't know of any adverse reactions to it, but I do know by doing some research that there is not a lot of clinical data to support use in cats for some things. Also it is a strong antibiotic, so may cause resistance to other antibiotics. I am...

I am taking him today for a second opinion. I just don't know what I'm going to do with him once they've seen him. He's just miserable and I'm sure he's in pain from scratching himself so bad. I wish I had somewhere to keep him, I just can't think of anywhere except the clinic.

I am trying to help a cat that is scratching himself horribly behind his right ear. When he first showed up at my neighbors house both of his forelegs were raw and he had some other sore spots on him. The vet initially thought it might be a chemical burn on the legs. They put him on orbax and...
