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...

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...

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...

I have read to not give certain medications to cats that are hypersensitive. But how can you tell if they are hypersensitive, to begin with, before administering these drugs? Also, has anyone ever heard of a cat dying after being given the medication tetracycline? Any answers would be greatly...

I had a stray cat neutered on Thursday and he's doing fine except that he's still bleeding a little bit. He licks himself and that area looks fine otherwise. Is this normal after 3 days or should I be concerned? I've had many males neutered in the past but can't recall if there was slight...

Hi everyone. I haven't checked in for quite some time but did today because I am going through another cat crisis. Forgive me if this is long, I just have to vent. As some of you know my kitty Minmin was diagnosed with asthma a few months ago. She is now on medication and doing extremely...

I finally started Minmin on the Flovent inhaler followed by Ventalin using the Feline Aerosol Chamber to treat her asthma. I was nervous about trying to get her to stay still to allow me to administer it. I am happy to report that it went very well. She tolerates it better than when I was...

Only one of my cats goes outdoors for a short time during the day because she insists and is intolerable unless she gets her way. She is treated with Advantage monthly to prevent fleas from infesting my other indoor cats. Two weeks ago I gave her a treatment and tonight I noticed a black speck...

Does anyone give Buspirone to their kitty to help eliminate urine spraying? Bud, who is neuteured since 6 months old, has been marking his territory for a few years. He has been on Diazepam for about 3 years. It helps but is not entirely successful. Yesterday I asked the vet to prescribe...

The other day I mentionned that Minmin was waking in the morning hacking. Well, last night she was awake a better part of the night hacking away. So this morning I called the vet and brought her in to see what could be going on. They X-rayed her chest and her left lung has a build up of...

About a week ago, Minmin started hacking or hiccuping as soon as she gets up in the morning. She comes and stands in our bedroom and does this which obviously awakens us. It only lasts a short while and we don't hear it again until the next morning. She has no problems eating or drinking and...
