So the fact that the numbers in red increased by that much in 2 weeks isn't serious? If I can just give her fluids and not have to give her another antibiotic, that would be ideal. Is PetGuard not low-phosphorus?

Can I get fluids somewhere in the city?

Okay, thank you! I just sent all of the results to her previous vet (who is also a homeopath/holistic vet).

Here are the lab results.

I did do subQ fluids on her a few years ago - I would just need a refresher course. Do you think the antibiotics aren't necessary? Just fluids? She hates being in a cat carrier and going to the vet - are there cats that like it? ;)

Hi. Thank you for the quick response! I forgot to mention that she weighs 6.25 lbs. She lost almost one pound in 8 months. She eats PetGuard Premium Feast wet food. No dry food. No intestinal issues - she's acting normal. The reason I knew she had a UTI was because I woke up one day and saw...

Hi. I'm seeking advice for my 17 year old kitty Scat. Ten days ago, she was diagnosed with a UTI, and I gave her antibiotics at home. I took her in yesterday to recheck her levels, and I have attached the results (Creatine 4.2, BUN 66, Phosphorus 6.7). The vet is recommending inpatient for 2...

The only thing that changed in the 10+ years is the addition of the Feliway Diffuser, so I'm really just curious if anyone has experienced any adverse effects. Neither of them is having bms.

Nothing has changed in their environment except the addition of the Feliway to possibly help with the 2 random urine incidents. Tommy (10 yr old Tabby) is a gigantic (15 lb) love cat. Total cuddle cat that lets you do whatever you want to his belly. He's the best. And they've both only ever...

Hi. I have 2 cats - Tommy (10 year old male tabby) and Scat (17 year old female tortie). A few weeks ago, one of the cats peed on the bed. We think it was Tommy, so we took him to the vet (there was one other accident on the carpet - and they NEVER have accidents), and all test results came...

Thank you!

Hi, Besides having two cats of my own, I occasionally take care of a friend's cat, and she is 16 and has become extremely finicky regarding her food. She loves Nutro Max Wet food, but ONLY salmon or turkey. Nothing else. No combinations with other "flavors." And she can't find it anywhere. If...

I just read that the corn plant is poisonous to cats. I've had a corn plant for as long as I've had cats (10 years). One of my cats, Ella, had intestinal lymphoma and I had to put her to sleep 2 years ago. I do remember she would chew the leaves occasionally, and I'd always "shoo" her away...

I'm taking my beloved Ella in to be euthanized. Is it okay for me to bring my cat to the vet NOT in a carrier? The thought of coming home with an empty carrier...well, you know...

Wow, thank you for all the wonderful information. I decided to cancel the appointment with the oncologist. The type of lymphoma Ella has (intestinal) is extensive, throughout her lymph nodes, and I just feel like I should go the holistic route. I had a phone consultation with a woman named...
