Ok guys -- I will call the vet tomorrow. I'll go over all of this when I get in to see her, and ask that she checks to see if he is anemic. It's worth it, right? I'm glad I can talk about these things here, because if I talked to some other people, they'd call me crazy for all of this!

Thanks everyone. The nails are a bit pinker today, and he seems pretty chipper. What does worry me is he sneezed out a lovely booger (as usual) this afternoon and it was bloody. He doesn't seem to have a lasting result (a full-blown bloody nose), but I'm anxiously waiting for the next booger so...

Yeah...our cats can't figure that out. They know that treats come out of it. And will tap it. And look at us. And tap it. And look at us. They think we are the only ones who behold the magic to make the treats come out.

Yes, he was diagnosed via a URI panel with mycoplasma felis, but the vet didn't say any of this. She only said to keep watching him, and it was no big deal, that he would probably just work through it on his own. He's been on 3 antibiotics, but none made a difference.

Since Butters has been diagnosed with Calici Virus and Mycoplasma Felis, the L-Lysine really isn't working. We're sticking with it, because it can't hurt, but he's still sneezing and coughing, although I wouldn't say it's too terrible. It was worse a month ago. However, today I noticed that his...

Seconded!

Please update us on this story. I'm crossing my fingers for these beautiful siblings. I wish I could help. I'm so glad I've made arrangements in my will for my animals. My partner and I bought a house last year, and being that we are not married, and in the eyes of the law, are "nothing" to...

I'm lucky enough that all three of mine tolerate a clip, as long as it's fast. My biggest boy (Domino) actually just sits there like a human and waits. It's adorable! I did start young. My past cat, Oreo, never let me. It was a huge problem. She was very picky, and we didn't try until she was...

Thanks for the advice, guys. I looked up asthma, and it's actually nothing like that. He literally just opens his mouth wide, like the beginning of a yawn. And that's it. No coughing, no hard breathing. He's stopped doing it for now, but I think it MAY be drainage from a cold. His eyes are a...

I've caught Domino gagging several times today. I've seen him do it a few times in the past, but never as frequently as today. He's eaten, and he isn't coughing (like a hairball), and he isn't trying to vomit. I've looked in his mouth (as much as he'd let me) and didn't see anything. Do cats...

I don't want to scare you, because it doesn't sound like the same thing, but my Carmalita started breathing heavy one day...and I thought it was because it was hot in the apartment. I went about my business, and about 45 minutes later I realized she was in the bathtub, panting. This was bad...

After careful consideration, and some budget crunching, I think I've decided to switch dry foods. I've just been reading anything I can on the subject, here, and elsewhere, and while it seems as though "premium" foods are more expensive, I should expect to go through it more slowly than I do...

Well, his snot is...SORT of clear? It's a pale yellowish. It was a BRIGHT green at first when we got him. I took him into the bathroom with me today while I showered, and he seems to not be so congested today to begin with, so after the shower he seemed ok. I had to help him a few times this...

Thank you both so much! You're right. No matter if they ARE someone's cats, they need to be fixed. I'm going to call a guy I used to live next to. He helps the local shelter trap and neuter/find homes for them. I will tell him exactly what's going on, and say they need to be neutered, and...

Oh that's right! I remember you now! I've been checking back to the webcam every few days or so. SO cute.
