It does happen. Sorry about Harry.

If your cat has a heart condition the dental disease can contribute to it and make it worse. If you took him to a cardiac specialist, why wouldn't you take him to a dental specialist? They use the safest type of anesthesia and are extremely experienced with senior and high risk patients. They...

Just got back from the neurologist with Preston. Sadly, he has been diagnosed with spinal lymphoma. On to the oncologist tomorrow.

Holy moly! She is hopefully very pregnant! Post picts of the babies, curious to see what they look like with her coloring.

Thank you for your reply to Preston's injury. I have spoken with my vet and lucky I do work in a specialty veterinary practice, so he is seeing the neurologist tomorrow. The knuckling has gotten a little worse even though I have confined him to 1 floor of the house. No stairs but he is still...

I having been using it for 20 yrs! if battling URI, I start with 1/4 of 4mg tablet every 24 hrs for 3 days, then go to every other day. On a regular basis, I put it in all my cats canned food daily. It dries out their eyes and sinus. If they sneeze and you see some blood, cut back, they are...

I noticed before I left for work this morning, 6am, that one of my cats was limping on his right rear leg. I just got home and he is not so much limping but knuckling. It is just that leg, he is not crying, he is eating, being social, and walking around. Does not seem to be in any distress at...

NO! Which is the reason I have 17 cats. Some are social idiots and live in a bedroom. They do not do well out in the house, too stressful. One was peeing everywhere, I thought she would have to live in a cage for the rest of her life because I couldn't take her to a shelter, drugs did not work...

Unfortunately, if she is not eating, she is trying to tell you something and her organs are likely starting to shut down. Check her color around her ears for yellowing of skin, jaundice. I would rather see her taken to the vet and euthanized than watch what is going on. It is very quick, they...

I have made all my kitty stairs. It is very easy. Home Depot has scrap wood and will cut it for free for you. All I had to do was nail the pieces together, paint it, and hot glue some scrap carpet to it. I made one for my foster kitten room. The steps are very short so they can easily get up and...

I had a foster kitten that had bilateral luxating patellas at 3 months. They would not go back into place. He started having curved spine and dragging himself across the floor. The specialist did both at the same time at about 4 months of age. The specialist said he had never seen them so bad in...

You need to take him to a PET ER or specialist ASAP. He could have thrown a clot, sometimes they can resolve, but they need immediate care. The lump at base of tail is curious. I have had 2 cats with lumps on tail, one at base, it was a cancerous tumor, in both cases. I would take him to a...

I would say that if the cat was vaccinated 2 weeks ago, you should be fine. I would keep an eye on him to make sure behavior does not change. If you REALLY think there is a chance that he has rabies, go to doctor and get shots. Have you had any cases of rabies in the area? The shots are not as...

My kitty, Preston, was just diagnosed with lymphoma. I had a bad feeling. I have done the chemo route in the past but not sure I am going to do that with Preston. I had 1 that did awesome on chemo and the other not so good. May just try the prednisone for the time being and see how he does. He...

I did not read all the other posts, so someone may have already suggested this. You need to separate them. Maybe leave the black one in the outside shed and put the tabby in your bathroom. They feed off of each other. If the tabby has no one else but you and you sit with her, she will eventually...
