She was never tested as a kitten, because I could not afford it then. I have no idea how much the various tests cost to run, but I get then idea the vet wants to run them all. LOL

Thank you for the suggestions on hairball control. If Jasmine starts relishing her food again, I will be certain to try them out. As it is, it's not asthma. We've already weaned her off the prednisolone because she got worse, and I am once again scrambling for funds to take her in for more...

You do have to use a fair amount of food coloring. But usually two or three days is sufficient. I know beets even change human urine colour at fairly small amounts, but food coloring takes quite a bit comparatively. Beets are about a teaspoon or two, or at most a tablespoon mashed before they...

Took her in to the vet this morning and while her heart sounded fine, they think she has asthma. Which is a better prognosis than any other possibilities right now. They gave me prednisolone, told me if it doesn't make her breathing rate improve then we may do a chest x-ray later. They're not...

Unfortunately, I don't live in the USA. Canada isn't in care credit's coverage range, apparently. But yes, with the Siamese in her, I worry about heart problems. Also considered asthma. But I think it's more serious than asthma, and I want to get her in in the next couple days. There's just...

Feed mashed beets to one suspect kitty at a time for a few days at a time. Or add human grade food coloring to the food. The ASPCA says both are safe for cats, and they should change the urine color of the kitty you are feeding. This way may take a little, but you will be able to determine which...

Oh yeah. She's usually excessively friendly, and very doglike, as Manx cats tend to be. She's very loyal, and follows me from room to room on a regular basis. And my mother did not take her pom to a bone. That was supposed to be one, but I'm on my phone.

I'm your typical, excessively worried cat mom. Jasmine is 2 and a half. She was born December 11, 2010. I brought her home February 5th, 2011, at 8 weeks old. She is a Siamese Manx cross. She's been through a lot with me. She is harness trained and only goes outside on a leash or tether under...
