I think it happens more when it gets cold outside.

Angel is a torti(?) point siamese, maybe a couple of years old. Although she seems super happy, she goes through spells where she sneezes, sniffs, and clear her throat a lot. Could this be allergies ? If so, how can we help her ?

That was one good looking cat. You lost a loved one and your future together. Your loved one lost you, she lost everything. I'm really and truly sorry - I sympathize with you a lot. Hang in there.

It seemed wrong, we should have been at Brittany's side. Brittany was sleeping, dying, Sally was rushing to the vets for a cardboard coffin, and I was holding a shovel looking for a place to dig a grave. Chynna, Brittany's sister, was buried nearby 15 months ago and we wanted them to be next to...

I thought the fellow who offerred the fluids shot was going to visit but we had to take her to him. After driving 1/2 hour we came to a bumpy dirt road that I didn't want to drive down. I thought it might bother or hurt her. We called and he came and met us. He said there was no point in trying...

After asking, I decided to try the shot so long as it can be done gently and quietly. Just want to try.

Brittany's 19 and just went throught a UTI. With advice from this forum and the vet, she got a bit better but now is going downhill fast. Stopped eating and drinking again, can't meow, can't stand up, looks disoriented, and breathing different. We've tried every trick we learned on this forum...

No exaggeration to say advice from this forum helped save Brittany. Thankyou. Looks like 2nd vet's fish oil and Pet B+K helped. Friday, the Clavimax seemed to start showing results and she also started drinking and barely nibbling. Saturday we got her to drink Ensure. Sunday she ate a good...

Been to 2 of them. Will try 3rd after work for fluid shot. I'm not optimistic.

Just got back. The vet said to continue with her instructions. One of the things we're force feeding is B+K which has potassium. Brit fights the syringe (no needle) at first but when dripping out the contents, she seems to like it. She still won't eat or drink on her own. Yesterday, despite her...

I don't know how low the potassium is and the vet that measured it opens at 6:00p. It's 10:10a here. Neither of the vets mentioned those ways for us getting water or potassium into her. I'm going to look into those things now. Thanks.

Thanks for writing back. Before the Claximox was more dilute, it was mixed differently. This time it's twice the concentration but half the dose. Last time she was eating fine but this time her appetite problem started before she was getting the medicine. The vet suggested we continue with...

Just got back. Thanks for all the concern. We've been to the vet who suggested Pepcid, approved Gatorade, and prescribed Clavimax or something that sounds like that. Her blood and urine tests are ok except low potassium. Mobile vet will be there in an hour so I have ot leave here in a bit...

My girlfriend got out of work early and tried the suggestions with no luck. Maybe if I'd asked yesterday they would have worked - thinik waited too long. Taking lucnh break now to go over and help force water and Gatorade. Will try about 5 mls since afraid more will make her throw up...

Thank you for the help. We'll try your suggestions, improvise, and hope for the best. I hope we'll be smart enough to know what the best is.
