    Does anyone have experience with Laryngeal Paralysis?

    Her breathing was getting more and more difficult so I did go through with the surgery, unfortunately she didn't survive it. Her laryngeal paralysis turned out to be more involved and the doctor thought maybe from being hit by a car or shaken by a dog and her trachea was actually fused to the...

    I have had several cats....and still do that require daily medication. I had one kitty that was horrible with taking any kind of med, liquid, hidden in food, ect. She would always manage to spit it back out or not eat it. Anyway, I met this really nice guy who was fostering my Harry when I...

    Please help try to diagnose my cat

    I am not a vet by any means, but do have plenty of experiences with cats, especially with vet trips...lol.... It sounds like if the antibiotics don't work, (you should notice a difference within 24hours) you might have to have him scoped. You say that it looks like he wants to eat, but...

    Any Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Again, thanks all for the input. I purchased the Ambimed inject-ease device and I have been using it since Saturday. It cost me about $30. and worth every penny. I tried it on myself first to see how well it worked and you don't feel a thing, nothing, not even a tiny pinch. I've given Diesel...

    Thanks everyone for the input. Sometimes all you have to do is mention it and things work out. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed, but with the last 2 shots that I have given him, he seems to have finally calmed down with it. We are also hoping that he goes into remission. The doctor says...

    It's one of the finest needles they use, 30g, (31 being the smallest)and it's one of the shortest. Honestly, I don't even think he feels it, because sometimes I catch him off guard and he doesn't even realize I gave it to him. He's always been a cranky cat, but we still love him. Lets hope...

    About 3 weeks ago, my poor Diesel was diagnosed with diabetes. I work in the medical field and have no problems administering his meds. My problem is the poor guy is miserable with me doing this. He's always been a "cranky pants" kinda of cat, but still ours. I've been good to him, treats...

    I work in a surgical office and with people when the area is warm to the touch it generally means there's an infection going on. Sending more good vibes your way....

    Abscess or cancer? Please help, vibes to Sam!

    If you feel the need, there is never anything wrong with going for a second opinion. You never know exactly what the vet has experienced along his/her way. I love my vet of 18+ years and several furbabies, but eventually when an MRI was suggested for one of my baby because they couldn't find...

    A very hungry cat!

    I agree with wet/dry, ect, as others have stated, but just to let you know, I saved a little kitty that was emaciated and in poor health. I had never actually seen ribs on a kitty from a distance. Anyway, not to say that I'm any great expert or anything with this but I experienced this my my...
