Has anyone had a negative response after putting their kitty on Clomicalm to treat indoor urine spraying? Our kitty Bud had been on Diazepam for years with no side effects except for the fact that he still sprayed ever now and then. Most of the time he just mimicked the spraying. Upon renewal...

An update on my diabetic kitty. For the past couple of weeks, she was responding really well to the Caninsulin. I am now nearing the bottom of the bottle and her BG levels have started going up. Not alarmingly high but higher than they were. She's also started drinking more whereas she had...

Thanks Denali for your reply and thanks for the information. Yes, Max was diagnosed with Megacolon. Even using lactulose, he always continued to have hard stools sometimes taking 3 or 4 days to pass them. I've explained this to my vet but he's increased the lactulose instead of switching to...

So sorry to hear about Spaz...may she go to the Rainbow Bridge in peace.

One of our cats has had megacolon since June of last year. We had to take him to the vet two weeks ago because he became severely impacted again dispite the use of lactulose. He was given several enemas and antiobiotics to prevent an infection to the needle intervenous for IV fluids. Last...

CatNurse22...here in Canada, I'm using the One Touch Ultra 2 meter. Her levels are varying between 13 and 18 mmol/L. Because it's a human type meter, the vet had told me that these levels are adequate. I'm supposed to give her 0.08 twice daily. If she doesn't eat, I'm not supposed to give...

Our cat was diagnosed with type II diabetes last week then had to return to the vet because her levels remained high...she now seems stabilized. She is currently on Cansulin. The vet gave me a prescription diet that she refuses to eat. I've explained this to him but he insists that she must...

Constipation....oh yeah, don't I know what you mean. Our Max has that and it's quite frustrating. I've found that the best way to treat him is to feed him Medi-Cal, Fibre Formula and every now and then, give him a gel cap of Metamucil (sugar free formula) along with wet food. His poop is...

My kitty underwent radioactive iodine treatment 3 weeks ago tomorrow. She's been home for two weeks and is doing well. The only thing that concerns me is her appetite. She eats but only nibbles at small portions during the course of the day. She won't eat dry food, only the wet stuff. She's a...

Okay, well all our cats have now been treated with Advantage just in case it might be fleas. The bedroom has been cleaned throughly and all that's left now is wait and see what happens tonight. Hopefully no more bites!! Goldenkitty...I looked up Chiggers and I live in Quebec so that's pretty...

Diego...thanks for your reply. No, I haven't come into contact with other animals. What I don't understand is, if it were fleas, why aren't my cats showing any signs of having them...that's what's confusing me. As for Frontline, I don't know if it's available here in Canada, I'll have to...

Goldenkitty...it's hard to tell if it started IN the house or when I come in from the outdoors but I do spend alot of time outside gardening and I'm a bit of a neat freak inside. Beandip...we have two outside cats and I check them regularly for fleas and they don't have any so I don't believe I...

I'm having a bit of a problem... A few days ago, I started getting bitten on the legs and arms during the night and the bites are extremely itchy. I thought it might be fleas because I have been bitten by them back when my cats had fleas a number of years ago. I'm a bit confused because my...

Your not alone. We are a multi-cat household. Some take the time to cover and others don't bother. It's frustrating especially when they poo. Thankfully the litter boxes are in the basement and I clean it out many times a day. I have seen the cats who cover-up do the dirty work for the ones...

We have hardwood floors in the living room and the kitchen. We heat with firewood so our floors are warm in the winter. The cats don't mind it at all but they do prefer the area rugs and the furniture as sleeping sites. But be warned, if their claws aren't clipped be prepared for alot of...

Oops, sorry. I knew there was a section for that...should have double checked. Thanks for moving it.

She is absolutely adorable!! I love it when they're at that age...they're so mischievous, playful and entertaining to look at. Yes, I'd say she's about that age. Have fun with your new kitty, she looks like a sweetheart.

My neighbors cat comes here to eat and drink because they've pretty much abandonned him since they've split up. I don't what to make of his behavior. He doesn't try to run away yet he growls, purrs and acts friendly ALL at the same time while rubbing himself against my legs. Why is he...

KittenKiya, thank you also. No, I did not have an autopsy done. This happened quite a few weeks ago and he has since been cremated and is back home. I'm sorry now that I did not have one done because I'd have some definite answers to ease my mind. This isn't getting any easier to accept, I...

Thanks Pami for your reply. I have so many questions and so few answers. This was so sudden and unexpected and I'm taking it really hard.
