Well! The antihistamine seems to be working! I haven't heard him wheeze in a day and a half! I am sooooooooo relieved. I guess it was just a really bad cold...

Thank you guys! I have never tried pill pockets, Beandip - I will give it a try! That sounds great. As far as the slides go... I don't really know that I can tell which one Mr. B's xray looked more like... Do y'all think I should get a second opinion???

Tania - that is exactly what the vet meant - it could be that the heart just had excess fat on it. The heart did reach the sternum. She said that the only way to tell if it was "fat" or enlarged would be to do an ultrasound. I am going to try to film Mr. B wheezing/coughing - that is a very...

Hello, I just got back from the vet...and it was my first time with a new vet. I'm not sure what the diagnosis was... I'm a lil confused and was wondering if anyone read through it and let me know if it makes sense? My cat that I adopted in Jan (he's 6 years old and a rescue) started...

Hello everyone... Lily's weird bumps on her skin cleared up by the time I got to the vet. But, I decided to go in anyway since it was such a weird thing. I was thinking maybe the could tell me what they thought it HAD been. Of course, going in, I thought they were going to tell me that I...

I didn't think of ticks I hope not! There are a lot of bushes right outside the window, but I'm in an apt, so they are trimmed regularly. There aren't any tall grasses or anything that I can think of. But yeah, I'm not in a rural area. I used to live in Los Angeles, so this is "less urban"...

Thanks, Mooficat - it's good to hear that someone gets why I'm so worried. I don't think they are bruises- they are really raised. Almost like moles? It's hard to describe. Just very round, raised, circular bumps. She let me touch them without wincing or crying - I was being gentle. She...

Hello... my diva cat, Lily, has been slowly adjusting to having a brother in the house, Beethoven. They have been doing pretty well behavior-wise and it has been almost 3 months. They play a bit together, there is no fighting, and both have plenty of mommie time on their own. Lily for the...

yeah... trimming the nails sounds like a good idea. Is there some sort of medicine that will help the spot heal? My only concern with separating them is that they might become less integrated... they seemed to be doing so great! They touch noses and lie near each other when I'm home. How...

Hello, I have posted for advice here before and received a lot of very helpful responses, so I hope the same thing happens again! I recently (just over a month ago) adopted a second cat - another rescued maine coon. The cats were slowly introduced, and despite some initial hissing by the...

Is Darwin a maine coon? My cat is part maine coon and I hear that the following is a trait of theirs. Lily (my cat) is pretty quiet, though.

Hello, This is sort of a strange topic and I'm not sure if this is the right section for it, but I'm going to give it a shot. My current roommate and her cat (aged 2) are moving out next month to move in with her boyfriend. My cat, Lily - aged 5 - has been living with my roommates cat since...
