If your cat went through, or is going through terminal cancer, maybe you can help me. My cat is terminal with about 4 lumps.  When she is on pain medicine, she plays like a kitten.   An oozing sore just showed  up recently.  I do not know if it showed up on its own or because sometimes I have...

Thank you all so much for the info about tramadol (sp?).  I will check it out.  $22 for 10 days of buprenorphine is a lot for me on a fixed income, but hey that is what beans are for.  I kid you not.   Today, I was talkng with the human pharmacist to see if I could get it cheaper through them...

As hard as it is, when we love them, we have to let them go.  Taking into account Noil's condition, his activities, ability to eat, to cuddle ............ it is a hard decision.  Keeping a companion cat alive because WE don't want to let go versus allowing him to float off to a better...

BLOATED ABDOMEN.   Hello,  Many years ago my cat Chloe aka Gray had a bloated abdomen.  She was not able to lie down to rest, but had to sit.  When I took her to vet, he used a needle to withdraw the pussy fluid and said it might return.  I am talking about the early 1990's.   In Gray's case...

My cat Sweetie Pie has had two mammary cancer surgeries (this type of cancer if very aggressive in cats) on 7/7 and 10/20.  She tolerated both surgeries well.  Now the cancer has come back in less than 2 months.  I had said two surgeries then let her die.  P.s.  I have read fantyl or fentyl...

My cat Sweetie Pie came down with mammary cancer.  After cancer surgery this past 7/7 and 10/20......... I had said that would be enough and let her die naturally with strong pain meds. ........  On the other hand buprenorphine seems to work at keeping down her pain level.  The cancer has...

Thank you for the info about  how to administer buprenorphine.  I didn't realize the importance of giving through mouth mucus membranes.  That may account for why my Sweetie Pie seems to sometimes get more pain relief than other times.  She has cancer again and since the quality of her life...
