I have a large neutered longhair yellow Tabby that passes a bit of blood occasionally.  I tested it when he peed in the bath tub and it was 5  !  That seems a bit too acid to me.  We take baking soda daily to stay around 7 and I run 6.5 without it. (cancer doesn't do well in basic urine)  I...

Is there any way to stop a tomcat that has been neutered to quit spraying EVERYTHING in the house?  He is the only one of 3 toms and a calico that does it.

Here is a cat story for you, Cuz. We used to have a visiting cat at our front door daily. He looked just like Morris from the cat food ads so that's what we called him. He would come in and eat dry food and then curl up on the lamp table at the front window for 2 hrs. and then leave. One...

FWIW, I don't feed any fish to my cats because my longhair Tabby tom gets potassium crystals in his bladder causing him to urinate blood

Interesting you mention thyroid regulation.  My question is this, and my vet was no help.  Would iodine REGULATE his thyroid or just speed it up?  We take 150 mcg (3 drops) daily of I-KI and it is sufficient for an adult person.  Too much can be as bad as not enough.  I monitor with a circle of...

From one woman's account, she started her skinny cat on thuja and it gained weight and normalcy.  It couldn't hurt and I am not that well -moneyed,  The local vets are pirates so we go to Nowata OK. 20 mi to get $14 allergy shots for the Apso monthly and a $12 pill for a month without fleas.  We...

Had Rascal had claws, I would probably gotten sued by the bare-legged postman.  As it was he play-bit him.  He was p---ed off and said of all the animals on his route that was the only one that attacks him.  He always does it when their back is turned and walking away.  Once I saw him coming up...

I just started him on thuja pills today.  They are iexpensive and one person said they helped her cat to gain weight.  He loves pepper jack cheese and never suspected he was getting meds ! LOL      I will try to get him checked by the vet, but it is a 20 mi. trip and he "doesn't travel well" ...

I conferred with his vet and he concurred that it seemed like hyperthyroidism to him.  The sure fix is an $830 radioactive shot that is ridiculous to consider.  Here is an excerpt from an article online. <Other conditions we see frequently in veterinary medicine today are not so directly...

I weighed Rascal P. Coletrane da turd this morning and he is down to 5-3/4 lbs.  At one time he weighed 18 lbs. and was the scourge of the post office dept.  He would spring from hiding and grab the postman with his front paws by the ankle. (declawed)  He is 14 now and seems healthy enough for...
