I would really like some thoughts on this! I went into a little animal adoptions store, and on display were only two cages. One was a mommy cat and her two kittens, and the other was a single cat (he was hissing). The mommy cat had a bunch of bald patches, and I'll link to some still pictures...
My Squeaky was on Clomicalm for a bit, and I didn't like it at all so I stopped it. One of the side effects for it is "retention of urine/difficulty passing urine", which could explain her litterbox woes. Squeaky had trouble with that too, but it might have been a coincidence. In my opinion you...
I don't think she has any discolouration, and she has been inspected by the vet so I'm sure it's something he would have seen. I have been worried about a liver problem, since the vet said the heightened biliruben could be a sign of liver disease, then when he told us there was a high number of...
No, Squeaky hasn't had an x-ray or an ultrasound, but both vets said an x-ray would be pointless. I would like an x-ray, but I won't push for it right now, I will only have one done as a very last resort. The one vet did mention ultrasound (for the main issue of recurring vomiting and diarrhea)...
I bought a bottle a while ago, and it turned out my kitty was terrified of them too. But as soon as the bubbles were gone, she would run over and lick the spot where they landed on the carpet
I'm glad your kitty babies are well! What are the antibiotics for?
I got to bring Squeaky in tonight, thankfully. The vet got a sample but evidently didn't empty her bladder. When we got her home, she looked at her litterbox with the little bit of plastic litter they gave us, and walked away. I...
Thank you for the good vibes!
Are Shenandoah and Humble home now? I've been totally wrapped up in Squeaky, I didn't even think to wish you all well! I'm sorry! It sounds like it all went well, so I'm happy, and now you don't have to worry about the shots (and maybe dental work?) for a whole...
Thank you for that information, Kittymonsters (I love your name), I will mention heartworm to the vet, and is feline chronic cystitis something that will be found on her urinalysis? How did they diagnose it? I'm very happy for Zoe, the two of you must have had a hard time. But she sounds like a...
Oh dear, is Zoe doing okay now?
It does sound like there are multiple things going on with Squeaky. I looked around a teeny bit and I couldn't find anything linking elevated bilirubin with heartworms. That is interesting to know though, because I've always worried it was heartworms (We adopted...
Squeaky has been on Reglan to stop the vomiting, so she hasn't thrown up since monday morning (when we saw the vet). She also hasn't had a bowel movement since then, but she wasn't eating. Yesterday she started to drink a lot, then she finally ate a whole lot too. Then in the evening she had a...
I'm SO sorry for what you and Gracy are going through. If she were my kitty and she doesn't seem to be suffering, I would hold onto her a bit longer until it just feels right. But I can't tell you what would be best for you and Gracy. I'm sorry I can't say anything to help
He hasn't been mean, actually he hasn't said anything at all today to make me feel badly about Squeaky. Even when she was wobbling and looking pretty messed up when we walked in the door, he agreed it could have been from the car, when he could easily have made an upsetting comment. So he was...
Thank you for the hugs and headbutts, they were very well received
Squeaky saw the vet today with my dad and me. Don't be mad, but it was the same vet who told us it was behavioural and gave her antidepressants. He was a really nice guy and he spent a long time trying to help us last time. I...
