Hi John! wow!! You are a Weather/tornado?? chaser?? EEEKKKKK!! I chase my shadow to the basement when it gets nasty out!! :-) Good for you, someone needs to watch out for us 'fraidycats!!! :-) Well, BooBoo is doing well, sometimes, he still snorts funny when purring loudly....If it...

That is EXACTLY how Peek-a-Boo is!! He is active, eats a lot, is gaining weight, plays a lot, and just seems so very healthy in every way....except when he purrs loudly and hard.....and then, not every time. It is a puzzle. Just on the safe side, I had the X-rays and check-up and blood tests...

Hello, John....thank you for your informative reply. Peek-a-Boo, my Raggie, is doing pretty well. The Vet says she gave the CLAVAMOX (penicillin) to prevent a bacterial infection---that these things are almost always viral....and will go away. It is funny, when BooBoo purrs VERY loudly, he sort...

THANK YOU ONE AND ALL FOR THE WARM, FURRY WELCOME!! I HAVE ENJOYED READING LOTS OF NEAT THINGS HERE...

Thanks for your good answer....our vet is a wonderful one, she loves her small animals--her hubby is Dr. to the larger animals--horses, etc. in our area. Dr. Madge (I sent an e-mail and incl. your response about your baby--) and Dr. Madge says she gave the penicillin to help prevent a bacterial...

WHAT i MEANT IS THAT I HAVE GIVEN HIM THE PENICILLIN FOR A WEEK, NOW, AND AM GOING TO STOP IT--BECAUSE LAST NIGHT, HE STILL COUGHED WHEN HE WAS PURRING LOUDLY.

John (hello to a neighbor in Ohio) Please explain about the URI....what is that exactly? I should know, but I want to be sure...because Peek-a-Boo is still doing the coughing thing when he purrs loudly, and he also swallows funny sometimes....how would this be something connected to...

BooBoo only coughs when we pet him, or esp. when he is purring....no other time, so if it were hairball, he would be hacking more, and I do know that sound!!!! This is just so different!! (We have had many cats in the past, so this is new to me).

Have had our Ragdoll for a month, now. At first he was very scared, so didn't purr. Now, he is getting used to all the new surroundings, and plays nicely, and really loves to purr when we talk to him or pet him. He rolls around and loves for us to tickle his tummy. Whenever he is happy &...

Hello! This is the first time I have come on here....this looks like a fun place to come! I had a Silver Persian male, named "Alexander the Great" for 15 yrs. He was wonderful...but he died the last of November. Now, I have a new Ragdoll. He was the last of the litter, and he is gorgeous...
