Sorry to hear - and yes it is SCARY looking isn't it! My Shadow had to wear a cone but she couldn't clean herself.....I gave her antibiotics, and pain medicine........the vet checked her a few days later and decided to take the cone off and leave it off as she was getting too dirty back there. I...

Have (or had) two strictly indoor cats. Leo and Shadow. Leo recently died (so sad :(   - Now I've always had two litter boxes and use the pine litter (feline pine) which is awesome. I keep one litter box in the spare bathroom and one in the bedroom where I stay and she always hangs out with me...

Leo was approximately 10 years old when he passed and his passing is quite a mystery. He went from a normal acting cat to dead in less than 48 hrs. He was rushed to the ER MED VET twice where he died the second visit at the vet. I gotta tell ya, this has been one of the most difficult things...

Thanks everyone for the words. They help! I think I have been and still am a decent cat parent........It's unbelievable how close you become to them. Over the past few days after his death, I don't ever remember going through this kind of pain and void......even when my mom and grandma died...

Yes they took his temp, it was normal and urine sample was normal. The first night. He didn't start salivating UNTIL he got to the vet the first night. The next morning when he returned home I wiped the saliva off and he didn't really salivate much the entire day after that. The vet said cats...

He weighed 18 lbs! The vet said the first night when his blood was normal, his was very slightly elevated which could be simple stress. Not sure what the # was on his sugar. He was Very muscular and energetic. We don't have mice. I've never ever seen a mouse in my house. I use Electronic Cigs...

Well a few days later and I am not crying as much. I just can't understand what happened. I talked to his primary vet who is connected with the ER vet.  The Vet says it being bizarre is an understatement. I've wracked my brain trying to think of anything he could have gotten into. He's never...

Leo passed. I've been crying non stop for the past hour. I just can't believe how fast this came on out of no where! We had him since a kitten and he was around 10 years old. I knew something wasn't right with him today. I didn't care if their x rays and blood work was normal. He was so...

Wed afternoon he threw up and then acted really funny afterwards instead of going on about his biz. He is a very healthy indoor cat but his personality is like a big bad cat unless something scares him, and he freaks out when it rains, storms, or some certain noises just spook him.....but other...

How common is kidney disease in cats? Gosh I hope neither of mine ever get that.......But I guess it's a possibility...... She's doing so much better. The thing I couldn't understand was this: If she wears a cone, she can't clean herself. That's an area that is dirty and you have a dirty butt...
