Poor Coco It seriously is so hard to watch your pet be sick. I hope she clears that infection soon! I'm gonna take Simby for his consult in about a month or so. Does it cost more to see a cardiologist than it does to see a general vet? (Minus all the costs for echo, EKG, etc.) I know I...

Oh I'm so glad she was ok and didn't have all the things they said! I hope they don't find anything wrong with Simby after his cardio work up...even though it'll probably be really expensive. I guess I'd rather lose some money than to be sorry and miss an important diagnosis. Praying for...

Hi everyone - this is my first time posting here. I've had my 1 year old cat since last summer, when I adopted him at 3 months of age. He's been pretty healthy since then - just one cold right after coming home from the shelter. Then a couple weeks ago, he had his first vomiting episode...
