it was most likely stress then. their levels can spike dramatically when they're stressed

i dont have experience with cat diabetes, but the same recently happened to me. i took my 7 y.o. cat to the vet to get seen because he was not eating/drinking, and his sister had just passed the day before. he's also very shy, and he was crying the entire time till he was brought out of his...

hi all, giving an update on garfield. since yesterday, he' s been eating and drinking on his own. last night he slept with me for the first time in a few weeks, so it's safe to say he's getting back to himself. gar's moving around now, so i saw no need for the IV and appetite booster. however...

i live in the US, more specifically texas

im short again so he's gonna have to hold out till tuesday :(. im gonna give him as much water and food as he'll take, right now he ate around a quarter of a can and dozed off. he's doing better compared to yesterday. he's not heaving with his mouth agape, and he's more hydrated. i pinched his...

im tucking it into his gum and he seems to be taking it okay, just nauseous.

garfield's showing interest in eating. he wandered over while i was feeding the cats a decently sized can of tuna and skipjack (from Soulistic, probably just as smelly as surströmming) however he kept hidden behind the counter and didn't eat a piece when offered. i had the brine in a bowl for...

hi all, giving an update on Gar. last night i was very worried for him because his temp was bordering 104 F/ 40 C. i put an ice pack along his spine and gave him around 30 ml of cold water thru a syringe. he still hasnt made any attempt to eat, so in a few minutes im gonna try and give him paté...

theyre doing great, jr weighs 624g and her brother is 907. shes still very small compared to him, but shes looking a whole lot better. I'll send pictures later :)

what about urine scalding? poor girl, youre a saint for taking her in.

I'll definitely ask for Mirataz. its a battle getting him to swallow the denamarin, and unfortunately they dont offer it in liquid form. i dont want to syringe feed because of how much hes gagging.

im so sorry for your loss. i have a cat that survived parvo after catching it when she was less than a year old. she showed no signs of it before. one morning we just found her laying flat on her side. for three days it felt like she was practically paralyzed, we had her secluded in a corner of...

mentally i cant continue to speculate about her. it killed her, whatever it was and now i want to let her rest. she didnt deserve it, but i only have so much money and right now im the only one caring for her. i dont know if that makes me a bad cat dad, but i love her, and shes not with me...

theyre not speculating rigjt now, theyre just curing the symptoms. we go back on tuesday

im on my way home now. I'll isolate Gar and give him his med and new food. I'll probably have to bathe Ginger again and then work on her memorial. i bought plaster, a shadow box, and some other items.

shes isolated in a room. shes in the tub, i have her wrapped up in a shirt with a bag of ice next to her. i do plan to ask if a necropsy wil tell us her cause of death, and if it will help with diagnosing Garfield. everything was done in a rush because we wanted to get Garfield to the vet as...
