The surgery went well, they were able to get the object out of his intestine without having to fully cut it and resect it, so that was good.  They took a bunch of biopsies to send off, but said the tissue looked good and healthy and not damaged from the blockage.  They had me bring him home, but...

I pushed for x rays today, and it's a good thing.  They found what appears to be a squeaker from a dog toy, in his small intestine.  Looks like it is totally blocking things from moving, which is why he has been vomiting.  They did not see this back in August, so I don't know if he just recently...

My vet called me today to discuss Taffy's GI panel from Texas A & M.  He said that it looks like he does not have pancreatitis.  I do not have copies of the paperwork yet, so I'm just trying to remember what he told me, but he said that either his B-12 is low or that he needs B-12.....something...

So glad your baby is feeling better.

It could be a food allergy that is causing vomiting.  I have a 12 year old female cat named Beep, and she used to vomit 3-4 times a week, and we could never figure out why.  The vet could never find anything wrong with her.  Then about 2 years ago, I realized that Beep had not thrown up in about...

How lucky those cats were for you to help them find homes, and ease a few from their pain, and to give Bob so much love and comfort for the time that you had him.  I'm so sorry for your loss. 

Squeekie was a beautiful girl.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  

Poor baby! My Taffy is a maine coon too, and when he was one, he had crystals once and a blockage.  That is when I became aware of what kind of diet to feed him.  We were lucky.  A round of antibiotics cleared him up, they may have given him pain meds too I believe.  Taffy had been on dry food...

@mia-nozawa think you for your response too. It does sound like your cat has the same pattern as mine, with being fine for weeks and then not eating again. I was thinking with your cat having these problems straight away at three months old, I would think a food allergy. I have a cat who is so...

Have you tried Soulistic? From what I heard, they are made by the same place that makes Weruva and BFF. I only buy the chicken ones. My fancy feast eater will even eat this, it is shredded chicken in a broth, and they all love it. I found Soulistic at Petco, it was less expensive than other...

My name is Boots, and I make some of the scariest faces you have ever seen.  My mom says I should be in horror movies.

Two of my four cats will not touch beef.  I know other people who say the same thing.  I have another cat who will eat it, but projectile vomit it within 2 minutes of eating it and we believe she is highly allergic to beef.  I have always heard that beef is not the best choice anyway for cats...

I adopted my doberman when she was 6 months old, and already had two cats.  We did like others have said, put up a gate that the cats can quickly escape under, in their "safe" room, that the dog is NOT allowed into.  They have to have that space they feel secure.  Then what worked the best for...

My vet does think the GI panel at T A&M will be telling, he just seemed to think that a endoscopy and ultrasound would reveal much.  He didn't say not to do them, he just seemed to think it would not reveal anything, maybe at this point.  I''m so confused now.   He has had a very good past two...

I have been reading about Sebastian's ordeal.  Oh boy, has he been through the ringer.  I have not read all of the posts yet, still reading them.  I am reading parts about where he was given pred.  One of the vets gave me some prednisone pills, but told me to hold off on them for a bit.  I'm...
