    Emergency--can't contact my vet--need adivce!

    I would suggest you make adaptations to Willi's diet. Our cat had the same problem three months ago. Three days ago I had to take her to the vet because she was exhibiting the same problems. You don't want this to recur. It is very costly, so I would suggest if you feed him dry food to switch to...

    Emergency--can't contact my vet--need adivce!

    Look for an emergency vet anywhere in your surrounding county. There has to be one someone. It may be far away. Even if you have to drive 50 miles you need to get him there immediately. Best of luck.

    Cat with history of urinary problems need help drinking water

    Cleaning my cats' teeth--Advice needed

    I want to start cleaning my two cats teeth, however, every time I have tried in the past they have not allowed me to get my finger in their mouths far enough to get that itty bitty tooth brush in there. Last time I took my one cat for a check up, the vet looked at his teeth, noticed plaque...

    Hello, Our newest cat will clawing cannot be deterred. She will claw anywhere on the couch, the rugs, and the carpet.

    9 week old kitten with Diarrhea

    Despite a little bump in the road, Simon's stool is coming out normal. He is still playing, running around, eating, drinking, and cleaning. As for purchasing him at the pet store at such an early age, my Fiance and I felt that he was ready for a home. We spent nearly 4 hours at the store...

    Kitten Food recommendations

    Thank you for the information about the wormer. I think the pet store should have taken another stool sample before administering a second dose of the medication. I know they wanted to make sure that the kitten was healthy, but common sense would dictate that you should follow exactly what the...
