I'm going for a second opinion. Jack has an appointment tomorrow at a cat clinic. My first vet gave me hell for me wanting to pick up his chart & x-rays. And of course, they wanted the new vet office to request the doctor's notes & chart, & the lady who I spoke with there said that my vet...
I just took Jack in for a re-re-check on his UTI... the vet called me while I was at work and asked me to come pick him up early so that he could go over x-ray films with me.
Jack has stones in his bladder... and the vet says the only thing we can do is surgery so that they can analyze the...
My kitties have their pedicures every week, like clockwork. I didn't start trimming their nails until recently. They don't put up any fights... I guess they figure I'm bigger than they are

My girlfriend's mom has a tripod kitty who has the same attitude problem. What I have found with certain cats, is that they will choose who will be their "human" and no one else is welcome to share their affection.
I don't know why some kitties are like that, but, some of them are. You may...

Good luck with your new kitty... you might be suprised. Dogs & cats are different, and they fill your heart in different...

My name is Jessica, and I am the proud sponsor of two wonderful kitties.. (at this time)

Well, the doc says Jack will pull through, I just have to change his diet completely.
And Jack has lost 5 1/2 oz... now he's only 16lbs even...
my poor chubby boy...
They kept wanting to do a urinalysis every couple of days. So that was an office visit + urinalysis... and during a two week time, I think he had 4 or 5 urinalyses. So that's what added up the cost.
I think I will investigate into the widening of his urethra in future time. Jack lives with...
I really appreciate your comments. I have been trying to express to my boyfriend how serious this is. He is just confused on how cats get it.
I spoke with my vet today, and he will be going in tomorrow morning, and I will leave him there for most of the day for urine collection. The last...
