Thank you, this was indeed very helpful. I'm now extremely worried about the metacam - he was only on it for five days but has been on it several times from the time these problems started. Unfortunately when I tried to get the vets to prescribe a different anti-inflammatory and pain relief drug...

Hi all, Yes we have tried and do use supplements and have tried many over the years - both calming and for urinary issues. The main thing I am wondering about with this thread is any feedback on the two choices now presented to me. Supplements are definitely important to consider, but short of...

Hi all, One of my cats has a history of urinary problems and hates vets. Last Monday we rushed to the emergency room when he was peeing drops of blood. They did a full blood panel (all clean) and he was on Metacam for five days. Last Wednesday I brought in a urine sample which I got by holding...

Keeping fingers and paws crossed for you guys! 

What a gorgeous boy!

My cat has both testicles undescended. The vet did an ultrasound to find exactly where they were before the surgery. Maybe you can ask your vet about doing something like this with your cat? Someone mentioned on this forum that this can be very expensive, however, so keep that in mind. For us...

It got quite swollen yesterday but today it seems the antibiotics have kicked in. Still some swelling but not as bad overall (I was actually able to hold my phone!). I am feeling a bit achy and under the weather in general, but I hear this is not unheard of after the tetanus shot. Thank you for...

I've dealt with this a bit here, my cat has had to have many overnight stays over the course of a month at various hospitals. There are different kinds of overnight stays here - one kind where he stays in hospital and is checked once in a while but not monitored 24/7 (eg the vets or more likely...

Sorry about your cat :( Did they provide pain killers for him at the vet? If there are no physical issues like infection or crystals found it sounds like it might be a case of feline idiopathic cystitis. The symptoms are basically what you just described but with no obvious underlying cause...

I just got my first bite today at the shelter and am super glad I went to see a doctor before I even noticed anything off about the wound (I just went after Googling a bit about cat bites and getting kind of paranoid). They gave me a tetanus booster and antibiotics as one of the puncture wounds...

I think Melania is gorgeous, but really wasn't a fan of that inauguration outfit tbh. It seemed a bit shapelessly-drapey to me, with really weird sleeves. I thought Michelle's outfit was really elegant and nice (that red coat!). Different strokes for different folks, I guess! I look forward to...

I was at the shelter today working in quarantine. We had three cats there - one really sweet one and two really stressed and scared ones who were hissing and spitting. This is common, quarantine is the first place they stay when they are brought in so that we can make sure they're not sick and...

Oh wow I didn't know that the cost of an ultrasound was that high! In our case if it added any cost (probably yes) it was fairly small and nowhere near the (very reasonable) cost of the neuter itself. I can't even remember paying more than the original quote for the entire surgery, which was...

Thanks for the reply! I just feel like I have more flexibility to format the review in the way I want on a full sized blog, and I plan to post all in-depth reviews on my own site first anyway so seemed like it might be easier to link to that. No links it is! I am guessing it's fine to copy-paste...

Hi, Is it acceptable or against site policy to include a link to an in-depth review on a personal website when writing a product review? I mean providing a review here on the product page and then pasting a link to a more detailed full review that might be considerably longer and/or include...
