Unfortunately Tiara developed a clot in her lung last night and we decided it was time to put her to sleep. I really wanted to thank you all for your advice. It really helped us a lot and made Tiara's last few days better than they would've been otherwise. Thank you!

Okay, so we got the results in. There are no parasites in her blood, so the vet is thinking auto-immune or cancer. Not the results we wanted, but at least it gives us something. I'm going in to pick up steroids for her now as well as their recovery food. Boiled chicken is working for now. She...

I should've mentioned, but the x-ray is fine. The vet is supposed to call tomorrow with more test results. The vet is looking at blood parasites, some sort of auto-immune disorder, or cancer. When we get our test results, we'll know if we're dealing with something we can manage or not.  I'm...

I'm posting on behalf of my parents' cat, Tiara. They are currently out of town and I am caring for her. Tiara is about 12 years old. As a kitten she had Panleukopenia, became very seriously ill, but managed to recover. The high fever she had as a kitten has impacted her ability to walk and...

I just want to thank you all so much! All of the links and information are extremely helpful!

Another quick question; how often did you test your cat's blood sugar at home? I found that chart shortly after I posted! I feed my own cat those two brands so at least I can give her an idea how much that'll be costing. If she hits up the sales like I do she'll be saving a lot compared to the...

I'm positing on behalf of my grandmother. On Friday her six year old Russian Blue went to the vet for what we thought was just a UTI. He has a history of three other UTI's. However, in the urinalysis they discovered that little Winston was diabetic. My grandmother is understandably overwhelmed...

My kitty Fennwick spent years struggling with hairball issues. He would hack them up every few days, pass out trying to vomit them, get severely constipated several times a year, and would go through bouts of upset tummy. Just like your kitty, he hated the liquids and the pastes that went on the...

Chicken is one of the few meat sources that Fennwick has never had an upset tummy on. I do read the ingredients on the individual flavors so I know we have good ones. I do plan on rotating foods more often when I have a bit more cash. My dog cleaned out my bank account last month so I'm still...

Fennwick get Authority canned food. I realize it isn't the best, but I can't really afford much beyond that. I'm fairly confident he has a wheat gluten sensitivity too. For a hairball remedy Fenny gets Petromalt. He's not a big fan of it, but he likes it better than Laxatone so that's what...

We just got back from the vet. She said he looked really good. Nothing very concerning. However, she said if he's still throwing up in a week to come back and we'll do xrays to see if he's got a massive hairball in his tummy. For the time being we got some meds for stomach ulcers to try and...

A few weeks ago I started my cat on a canned food diet because of weight issues, terrible constipation, and hairballs. He is slowly starting to lose weight and his stools seem better so we're on the right track there. I'm just a little confused about what it has done to his hairball issue...

They are fed in different room. Mir bites and smacks Fennwick away from the canned food if I feed them in the same room, so they've been seperated this whole time. In fact I feed Fennwick his can three flights of stairs up from where we feed Mir. I was hoping the distance would get Mir's mind...

So I've got a bit of a tricky one. There are four cats in our house. Three of the cats belong to my parents and the other cat is mine. Starting about a month ago I switched Fennwick over to canned food due to me not only believing wet food to be healthy, but due to some health factors. Fennwick...

So I was looking to get a bit of an outside opinion on something. About three months ago my mother's cat, Tiara, began having issues with her anal glands. Tiara is 8 years old. We've dealt with two infections so far; each time the anal glands are very full. Today I took my father's cat, Mir to...
