My cat had his rabies shot along with another last Thursday. On the ride home he threw up and for the rest of the evening stayed in the same exact spot, refused to eat, and in general was not himself. I called the vet and they were ABLE to get me in the next day. The vet determined that...

We have a cat that we adopted two years ago named Abraham. He is such a well behaved cat-except when he has a box or toy that he can crawl into. He seems to get a bit aggressive when he is in a box and will often take a swipe at you as you walk by or go to play with him. I am thinking that he...

Thanks, I would never discontinue, I was just wondering when I should notice a difference. Also not related to the above post, but do cats loose their wiskers? This is my first cat and I noticed one on his blanket a few minutes ago. The doctor asked me if Abraham was a rough kitty because he...

I use a cat piller! It is a great device that looks like a syringe with a rubber end on it. You place the pill in the rubber end and push the pill towards the back of the throat and depress. It works great!!!!

So I promptly took him to the vet. The vet said he most likely has a respiratory infection. The vet prescribed 7 days of Baytril (22.7). Abraham is on his third day of his pills (1 pill per day). Does anyone have any experience with this illness or medication? Abraham is eating, playing, and...

Hills CD and he has a portion of wet and dry mixed in the AM and dry only in the PM all of the food is the CD. All of the food he gets is CD and it is mixed heavily with water to make sure he is taking in plenty of H2O. We don't give treats anymore because they don't have a Hills CD treat. We...

I have a 2 year old cat that I have had for 6 months. He was eating Blue Buffalo Indoor Cat food both wet and dry. He developed struvite crystals/a urinary tract infection two weeks ago and needed a two week course of Clavamox. He is due to finish the Clavamox tomorrow. We did a follow up...

I have had Abraham a two year old adoption for about six months. He has been eating Blue Buffalo Indoor Cat food 1/4 cup dry 2X per day and 1/2 can of wet 1X per day since we got him. Recently he developed a UTI and the tests showed that he had bacteria and struvite crystals. I checked in...

Can anyone tell me their experience/success with cat water fountains? I purchased a Drinkwell's Platinum Pet Fountain. It has not arrived yet, but I figured I would get other peoples opinion before I open it.

I appreciate everyone's help. I, as mentioned before, am new to cats. I am very thankful to all of you for taking your time to assist me in caring for Abraham!!!

at the E vet they did get a urine sample and did a culture. The culture did show struvite crystals and a bacterial infection but no blood. He put Abe on Clavamox for 14 days and said to go to the vet at the end of the prescription or sooner if I did not notice improvement. I plan on calling...

acting himself, but kind of tired I guess. He played around with me a bit tonight. He has been eating and drinking like normal. I guess he is just not as rambunctious. He is urinating as frequently or more they are just smaller clumps that I am finding in the litter. I just purchased one of...

he is still not himself yet though. He is on a two week course of antibiotics at this time. He was prescribed Clavamox for the two weeks. He has urinated several times a day since we went to the emergency room. His urine is still not as much as it was prior to the infection. I just looked at...

Darlilii I am new to cats but did quite a bit of research prior to getting Abraham. In my research there was a suggestion to check and clean the litterbox 2X daily and keep a written or mental diary of what you see. In that research I learned about UTI and symptoms. I suspected a UTI right...

I can't get in until tomorrow. Now I am freaked!!!! I live in rural Maine so there are not many places to go this time of night!
