A LOT of cats show false-positives for the FIV test. They do a simple screening and the false positive results are way too high ... I hate to think of the number of cats put down with these false positive results. To confirm FIV, you have to do a Western Blot which costs more than just a few...

Spray your bed with Feliway ... It worked in our situation

Try Feliway --- it comes in a spray bottle ... it has kept our cat problem under control (mostly). You have to "re-fresh" and "re-spray" every so often, but the Feliway keeps them from using the bed. I'm in the same spot with my husband. He is extremely frustrated with one of our cats who for...

I've tried all the healthy moist food and all my cats turned their noses up at it. I feed high quality dry (which they love) ... I alternate between Felidae, Chicken Soup, Wysong & Artemis. I hung my head in shame when I asked the vet how horrible Fancy Feast is since that is the only thing...

Here is a link to the local ABC station in Houston with a story on the latest toxins found. There is also a video clip of the news story that ran yesterday on this news station. http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?se...cal&id=5366430 The FDA needs to get on the ball!!

I've been to China a few times on business ... the Chinese are concerned with making money and keeping their economy growing. Human rights and human life isn't as valued as it is in the US ... In Tianjin China a woman was hit by a car and appeared either gravely injured or dead in the middle...

I had a cat that had herpes ... she passed away last year due to a stroke (unrelated). We used Lysine paste ... sort of like the hairball medicine you put on their paws and they lick off. That worked better for us than the lysine ground supplements. We purchased at our vets ... not sure if it...

I could really use some advice --- We adopted 4 new cats in December ... inherited from my mother who passed away. We had 2 cats already in our household ... bringing our grand total to six. We isolated the cats from ours for about 3 weeks and we let them out, they all adjusted very well ...

An untreated ear polyp can cause damage ... and be very painful to the cat. If you can see about payments, that would be great. One of our cats had a polyp removed "the simple way" a year ago and was told that they grow back in 50 - 80% of cases. Wednesday, he is scheduled for the surgery ...

Do you know what kind of test the vet used to come to the conclusion that your cat if FIV +?? Many vets use the ELISA test but that has a very high FALSE POSITIVE rates, in my opinion. I've heard quotes that up to 1 in 3 may be false positives. Any FIV diagnosis should only be made after...

Yep, his medical knowledge and creditentials are awesome. His degree is a: Diplomate, American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, Feline Specialty and his professional affiliations include: American Board of Veterinary Practitioners American Veterinary Medical Association Texas Veterinary...

I asked my vet what he thinks of Fancy Feast moist since all my babies love it. My vet is a board certified feline vet (not very many of those around) and has an awesome resume. He said that FF gets a bit of a bad rap by some vets but he thinks it is healthier than some vets try to make out...

For the four cats, we've fostered one out (the 11 month old) to one of my best friends. All of her other friends think it's going to be hers forever and there is no "temporary" here are all. One of her other friends showed up for her Christmas Eve party with a bag of "kitty goodies" ... since...

There is not a test to show whether or not it is FIP --- the blood test only shows whether the cats are coronavirus positive. This could be any one of the many coronaviruses ... Plus the test doesn't even show if the coronavirus is active or if the cat just had one of the many coronavirus...

The Western Blot came back positive The 6 yr old was playful this morning ... we have her separated with her companion of 6 years (a Siamese 8 yrs old who is FIV-). We're keeping the cats (both FIV+ and FIV-) separated for a while to make sure that they are both otherwise healthy ... then we...
