I certainly hope it is safe for cats! Teppo is on his last day of Baytril injection. He's a cat although he kind of is dog-size cat. He was given it after dental when he developed a terrible cold and goopy eye. He could not tolerate the Baytril liquid that was given first (came up with bloody...

The vet's opinion was that it's rather unusual from anesthesia itself too. However, the consensus was that in this case the colds are related to the dentals/vet visits pretty much 100%. Either something was caught in the office or illness is stress related. I actually think we actually might...

Sorry I did not do a search if there was a recent thread on this but I wanted some quick feedback. We had two dentals done recently. Now we have two sniffle cases in our hands. I wonder if this is something that commonly happens when cats are under anesthesia? (Did not happen with neuter ops)...

Love the video. I would not be too worried either. I have seen cats sleep that way and crash to floors, not always gracefully but always necks intact. One of my cats sleeps on his back all the time but when he 'hangs' he only hangs his head over the edge and and keeps front paws on the couch for...

He's gonna be out of that carrier in no time. Looks like food is good motivator for that boy. Just go slow and don't spook him now that he feels a bit braver. he's veryvery cute and Thomas' tail is hilarious with the tip and all.

Wow, some of you people are really lucky - free visits to vet with new pets! I wish I had those too. Just to give you an idea with what we've dealt with rescued cats. First pair had terrible URI:s when we got them. They had only been at the shelter few days - enough to catch it and fell ill...

I have had no problems with moving original litter boxes from second floor isolation room to basement where other cats' regular boxes are. I've always kept the new comer's box in the original location for awhile after they leave the iso while I introduce them to the real kitty toilets. Everybody...

I am probably not the best one to give you pointers because my cats pretty much love all the flavours I've offered this far. Not finicky at all! Anyhow, was it the Petrodex Malt yours did not like? That's the one that seems to be most widely available locally (here). Mine will eat that like...

Someone who volunteers for rescue told me that ringworm is extremely rare to be seen with cats they pick up from streets there. Usually it would be an affliction with seniors and cats with weak immune system only. I don't know if this is a fact but it worries me if it's a sign a cat is more...

Probably the difficult thing with this is that we see cats being categorized for different purposes. I would hope vets have somewhat of a similar idea (like what was already said above), and also separate what is large or small vs fat and skinny. You know, large by size can be Ok weight wise and...
