    Help to diagnose eye problem

    Last Saturday, Simone's eye was really watery and gooey and halfway closed. She allowed me to wipe it, indicating it wasn't painful and I began to give her and her brother L-Lysine (his eyes were watery last week and one eye was watery again on Sunday). Simone's eye has gotten much better, but...

    Presley has been sick with a URI for the past week. During this time, he was not able to keep down his dry food.

    Unable to diagnose digestive problem; do these symptoms sound familiar?

    We started the Clavamox BECAUSE of the diarrhea. The vet thought the fever was caused by an infection. Now, he has started pooping outside of the litter box...doesn't that mean he's sick? Thanks for the help.

    How much is too much vomitting?

    I have two sibling cats who are 2 years old. They are Siamese/Tabby. They vomit almost daily. Should I be concerned? They have been fed Science diet since they were kittens.

    We need your help, the vet is stumped

    It absolutely could be constipation. It could be a partial blockage that she is trying to pass. I picked her up from the vet just now, she is slightly drugged from surgery prep. The first thing she did when we got home was drank a bunch of water (a good sign right?) She has kept it down so...

    We need your help, the vet is stumped

    Her x-rays have been viewed by 3 doctors. Two of them agreed that she needed to be cut open. The head doctor said he didn't see enough evidence to warrant surgery at this time because she hasn't been vomiting that much (she ate 3 times yesterday and kept it all down). I think it may be...
