My 8 month old kitten just got sick for the first time and he’s having a hard go. We are on day 5 of the URI. It started with sneezing and a runny nose and progressed to bad congestion today. Yesterday we had a vet visit and he was prescribed liquid doxy. He’s only had two doses so far..he was...

My otherwise healthy 3 year old cat recently had this pop up today. In the span of about 8 hours I feel like it already grew a bit. We’re having a major infestation of Asian Lady Beetles (not ladybugs, these ones bite and can emit a nasty liquid when crushed) in my area and everywhere is being...

I have a 1.5 year old neutered male cat who started displaying symptoms of FHS just a day ago. It completely started out of the blue. I went to bed and he was fine, and I woke up 8 hours later and he was running around like he was scared, to the point he was panting. He's no longer running...

So I have 9 kitties, all indoor. Almost all of them have been completely vaccinated except my 2 youngest ones which I was waiting on their neuter appointment for. I started noticing one of them started sneezing and coughing (I guess it's considered coughing?) randomly about 3 days ago. I thought...

I have a kitten who I took in at 6wks old. The rescue I got him from bottle-fed him and he was raised with one other littermate, but no adult cats so he wasn't able to learn to socialize much, I guess. After I got him I fed him kitten milk formula up until 8wks along with dry food because he was...

My cat was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (rcc) of both kidneys so there is no option for surgery. Prognosis is poor. We are meeting with an oncologist to hopefully see if we can start him on some type of chemo (most likely Palladia) which may or may not help give him some more time. I have...

Trying to do my research and see which is more effective before I start giving it to my senior cat. He has trouble absorbing protein and pees most of it out, is very anemic, losing weight, and has issues with his kidneys. I just got a kidney aspiration done, waiting on results, still no idea...

I have a senior cat who is consistently losing weight. He is sitting around a little under 7lbs when he should be about 10lbs+. He had a 2 month checkup with the vet and we performed another blood and urine test and his levels were almost the same as last time - kidneys just a tad bit worse...

I found a small-ish hard lump on the back of my senior cat (16). I would say it’s about the size of a pinky nail. As I was shaving the area to get a closer look a piece flaked off, and it bled a tiny bit as you can see from the second photo. It doesn’t bother him when I touch it. I didn’t notice...

I have 7 cats who are on a diet which makes their urine a pH of 6.3 or less. Only one needs to be on it as he has crystals, but I rather avoid a blockage before it happens because dealing with it is so more expensive than just buying special food, so they all get fed it, including a 16 year old...

I recently adopted a senior kitty (16) who had a ruptured eye and had it removed. I guess they decided not to sew the eye closed for whatever reason and it’s just an open socket. It’s been like that for months before I adopted him so it’s not like a fresh wound. The shelter didn’t tell me if I...

Let me preface this by saying I trust the vet completely and I know there was no intentional suffering, my kitty was just really sick and not every case is cut and dry. I’m just looking to see if anyone else had any experiences like this, I guess for some type of comfort. So my senior cat was...

N. Male 8lbs 13 years old No prior history of bloating Kidneys and liver were checked a month ago and were fine. Normal litter box Usage. Eats and drinks normally. My boy went into the vet due to bloating and we found out he has lots of fluid in the abdomen which started substantially showing...

Male cat about 12 years old and about 6.5lbs. I adopted him a month ago from the shelter, and the shelter told me they had no idea what was wrong with him but had him on Prednisolone to “help gain weight” which my vet told me to stop using because it could make him lose weight, and he was on RX...

My cat had a UTI that has cleared up but he still won’t use the litter box to pee! He started going on clothes that were on the floor so we started not leaving anything on the ground. We thought that would fix the problem. I noticed after we did that when he had to pee he was running around...

I posted on here a few days ago about my boy having a possible UTI. Well, we visited the vet today and was given antibiotics, anti-inflammatory meds, and he was given Simbadol. After we got home and the medicine kicked in he started acting crazy. Running and hiding, afraid of me, then his mood...

Make cat, neutered, about 3 years old, no prior sickness/health issues. About two weeks ago my tuxedo started meowing weird/hissing for no reason when he was walking around. He stopped after a day so I didn’t think anything of it. The next week I’m finding pee puddles on clothes that I leave...
