I don't think so.  Although I know some of the vets there perform experimental medicine at universities.  I will ask when she gets her follow up check up next week. Thank you .

Your babies made it to 16 because of your love for them. Do not feel guilt.  I will tell you that even if you took them to see the vet this might have been unavoidable.  I had my Simba die at the young age of 10 due to an agressive type of cancer that took him in 3 months (no cure).  I took him...

Hi sorry for the long winded title. But the title says it all.  A block or two from my house an old lady who owned this now feral passed away. The cat got kicked out by the family who DIDN'T EVEN LIVE THERE!!! Anyway we been feeding it for a few months now.  We made a shelter for it to sleep in...

Thank you for your answer.  They did multiple scans on her almost daily.  She didn't have any obstruction per say.  Just blood clots.  As the days went by they said the kidneys looked a bit inflammed.  :( Not sure what to do.  This is one of the top clinics in my state and my vet told me she...

She has been eating the past two days which is good but I am afraid that like last time as soon as she is taken off the antibiotics she will get sick again. Has anyone ever going through something like this?  Any help would be appreciated.

Some background. This is a stray cat I took in about a year ago. She drank a lot of water then and had some traces of blood in her urine. Multiple vet visits and antibiotics did nothing. So I took her to one of the best clinics in the state. They gave her betrol (sp??) This very strong...

As others have mentioned I would do anything for my kids (cats if that is what you want to call them ). I just looked at my bills for my 5 babies last year.  It was very expensive with all the medical bills.  But honestly I don't really care.  I'd rather not buy/do things for myself just to...

Thank you all so much for the tips.  I changed my kittens food to Natures Variety Instinct Limited Ingredient Turkey and he absolutely loves it.  My other babies not so much. :( Right now they are in a Purina Pro Plan diet.  And I think they are not budging to change. 

So true.  Hell I jumped in front of a car to stop a car from hitting one of our ferals a couple of years back.  As she had a thing about licking herself in the middle of the road because she got so comfortable with humans (she would let us carry her around).  I would do it again in a second...

Couldn't agree with you more.  A pet is as much family as anyone else.  They are not 2nd class citizens.

Thank you so much. I am going to buy these brands see how Simba likes them.   Thanks again.

I just read this and panicked because I have been feeding my kitten blue buffalo and he loves it.  He is only 4 months old. Have had him for 1 1/2 months. Can anyone please provide me an alternative wet food for him.   I am going to get home after work and return those cans.  

As far as I can remember I had a cat in my house.  I grew up in my grandma's house and she had this calico cat.   I don't know what it was about her but I was just attracted to her and loved her.  Maybe because the big dog barked at me and scared me when I was 5 lol.  But ever since then I...

Thank you for the kind words.  

HI all.  When you guys say "slow down" what does that mean. The reason I ask is because since the year 2000 there have always been at least 5 cats in my house.  I had two put two of my kids to sleep because of cancer that was untreatable(carcinoma).   They were both young guys and I missed them...
