Vince is a normally very mellow 4 year old male neutered Maine Coon. He's happy go lucky and fun to be around. A month or so ago, while grooming him, I noticed a scabby bald spot near his tail. I rushed him to the vet who said that he'd gained 3 pounds in a year and a half (from 16 to 19 lbs)...

Thanks everybody! It sounds like we caught a blockage just in time. He is on Clavamox (125 mg) twice daily. They did a urinalysis, and there was stuff floating in his urine, which apparently indicates an infection. He also gave us Hill's presciption s/d canned food, which is supposed to help...

Thanks everybody. Vince is on his way to the vet as we speak. My husband came home early to take him since I have my own dr's appointment in an hour. When I called the vet they said they may have to keep him overnight. I am so worried! I am glad I was home today to witness the behavior! He is a...

About the cat: Vince is a 17 month old maine coon neutered male. He was neutered by the humane society before we took him home at about 2 months old. He is a good eater, loves water, and is generally a good buddy. The problem: Vince uses his litter box, but also occasionally has gone pee and...
