This morning our oldest cat stepped on the hot element :(  Does anyone know what we can do short of a vet visit?  She is still running around, but then favours it a little by lifting her leg.  I can see a small blister on the pad of her foot.  Does anyone know anything we can do to help her...

Sorry for the delay in getting back. All great posts. Thank you very much. Finally got a hold of the vet today. I brought up all these points and we discussed.  The metacam is given in very small doses to cats so that it isn't an issue with cats.  Im told the dosage is so small and the other vet...

I agree with you both.  I have to give vets their due respect and the benefit of the doubt. What I'm going on is the FDA document.  It is however, contradicting when my package says its specifically meant for oral use.  I got the second opinion and mine says that it is definitely safe for...

Yes the vet checked the paws for coldness and discolouration. The vet ruled out a blood clot for now with a few tests.  Today Sweet dee was walking around normal! She seems to have a little more energy back but were keeping an eye on her.  She isn't the type of cat to roam around and explore so...

We are in Canada.  We had to go to this vet because it was after hours emergency.  I'll ask our vet her thoughts on metacam.  Maybe Canada follows the same thought process as the UK?  But there is no denying what is written on the FDA report.  Perhaps newer metacam is better for oral use?  Who...

Thats very confusing.  The FDA document states the following: "No safe and effective dose of the oral suspension is approved for cats." Yet on the Metacam box it states: "Oral suspension for Cats" Also on the box it states to give up to 2 doses max, yet the vet prescribed to give 1 dose per...

Why is that vet giving us this medication if its going to harm the cat?   Thats a good article thanks for the link.  Cheetah we use Werva and Performatrin Ultra and Perfect Bistro canned food. Have you heard of these.? Do you have a daily intake recommondation if they are to totally be weened...

Oh I thought it was a curb in her diet. 

thanks for the reply!   The vet said she she looked on an ultra sound and she is almost positive there is no clot.  As for the potassium issue, she didn't mention anything, she only sent us home with anti inflammatory (metacam) which we give to her with food.  We'll try giving her potassium...

Yesterday our Sweet Dee woke up from a long nap and all of a sudden started stumbling very bad.  She couldn't walk right and fell over a few times.  I put her on my chest as I sat on the couch and she stayed there a minute but then left and fell again. She got off the couch and stumbled and just...
