My apologies for any typos, been researching on my phone for a while! Ira is a 7 and a half year old DSH. Pretty healthy his whole life. Had a few very short bouts of anorexia that he overcame by hand feeding. This January Ira had a urinary blockage. He "told" us immediately and within 4...

Just wanted to update her vet visit today. Her lungs apparently never sounded very bad, but they're absolutely fine now. Her nasal passages sounded clear, everything was good. It's really the past 2 days that I've noticed a significant reduction in mucus, and I can't be sure but I think it's...

Thank you so much for all of that info! I'm going to check out the link now. At least now when I go back to the vets on Wednesday, if she doesn't suggest another antibiotic I have a name of one I can ask for. I have a feeling that her "snot rockets" are possibly the reason she was kicked out of...

She hasn't been on antibiotics for three weeks consecutively. She's had 2 weeks of antibiotics, week 1 and 3. Week 2 she didn't have any, the vet thought she just may need time. My vet hasn't suggested any other tests to diagnose what's wrong with her, just stated that some cats are snotty...

I'll try to keep this as short as possible I have 3 cats, have had them for about 3 years. One, Sickey has had gooey eyes every once in awhile, they never last for long and my vet told me this was common with a severe URI in "kitten hood" of which Sickey had. A little over 3 weeks ago a young...

I've only posted here a few times before, regarding some issues with my three cats, but I figured this would be the place to come now that I'm thinking about switching the kitties to raw. I've added a kitten recently (a stray, a week ago) to the mix so the cat roster is: Mom (approx. 4 - 13'ish...

I would say the worst ones are from Mom, but the boys do give each other little nicks here and there. Sometime's I don't find them until the scabs come off with the hair! I've tried to lock them just out of the bedroom a few times and they really can't stand it, they scratch the door and meow...

How exactly do we avoid rough houseplay? It's not so easy here! The boys love to play rough together and while my dog usually calms them down if one is clearly getting upset they do it all hours of the night when the police dog has gone to sleep! LOL. I've gotten used to the sound of their...

I've only posted here once or twice, thank goodness, as for me to post means there is a problem! I rescued three cats, a mom and two male kittens around a year and a half ago. The kittens were both neutered at 6 months, Mom was spayed at an estimated year, year and a half old. Within the past...

Don't know that much about cat food. Just figured it has no chicken and no grains. The Natural Balance first ingredient is pea as well, so I guess cats like peas whether they're good for them or not! LOL

I feed "Now" turkey and duck formula. I don't believe it has any grains or chicken. It's kibble. http://www.petcurean.com/index.php?page_id=179

Wow! Quite a bit to soak in! And yes, getting them spayed/neutered was our main priority. I'm an assitant trainer at a competitive obedience club, and I know how important it is to alter your pets! So spaying and neutering was at the top of my list after figuring out what was wrong with...

So, let me preface this by saying I know absolutely nothing about cats! I'm a dog person in my heart, but love all animals. I have two large dogs. November 1st I found two male kittens around 4 months old (what my vet tells me) and the mother on the side of the road. Mom was still nursing a...
