    Pemphigus - Anyone have experience???

    Telka, 14 years old (I eventually got her registration papers, which confirmed her age to be 6 years old at the time, rather than the "3 years" that I was originally told).

    Pemphigus - Anyone have experience???

    Since this thread was brought up again (wow, started in '05!), I thought I'd give and update on Telka (since I believe this is the only thread I've ever started on here, and I don't visit otherwise).  She's 14 years old now!  After re-reading my prior post, I thought I'd mention that her small...

    11 year old kitty probably has Pemphigus Foliaceus : (

    This is my experience - http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...ight=pemphigus Honestly, it's not all that helpful, and I can't say that any type of medication will really help, or that I understand the disease any better. In my case, there does seem to be at least *something* that's causing...

    Pemphigus - Anyone have experience???

    It's funny, I was wanting to research pemphigus a little more and came upon this old thread that I started when I first got Telka. It has a happy ending! Well, nearly... After spending another $400 to get Telka properly diagnosed, I was contacted by her original owner and told that Telka had...

    Pemphigus - Anyone have experience???

    Do you perhaps have pictures of your kitties paws at that time? I hate to think ringworm...there are some bad implications there (long story short, I have show chinchillas, and chins are susceptible to ringworm, so it could easily spread to them through my contact, even though they are in very...

    Pemphigus - Anyone have experience???

    I wish this site would email me when I new post has been posted...guess I don't have preferences right or this forum doesn't support it. ANYWAYS...yeah, that's the link I saw to the pemphigus when I was researching it before - her nose doesn't look like that at all...it was just a small dried...

    Pemphigus - Anyone have experience???

    Yeah...well the previous owner said she was purebred, so I think it's now also my responsibility to try to find the breeder and notify them of this genetic disease that has occurred. Hopefully the previous owner will remember where she got her from. But I'm not calling until the diagnosis is...

    Pemphigus - Anyone have experience???

    http://vetmedicine.about.com/gi/dyna...%2Fdpemph.html Under Pemphigus - Cysts on feet The 4th paragraph down states "Dobermans, schipperkes, akitas, chows, bearded collies, rottweilers and Siamese cats are usually included in lists of breeds most likely to be affected by this condition. "...

    Pemphigus - Anyone have experience???

    Greetings - I'm fairly new to this forum, and as stated in my newbie post, http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52969 I had been looking for a cat with 'low adoption fee' since we had just moved. I found what seemed to be the perfect cat - a purebred siamese that the owner was...

    Yeah...I'm thinking I'll just wait and see if she stops - if not, try the soft paws. I did read through the whole debate on declawing and wanted to post something - but alas! you must be a 'cat' to do so. Oh well... Coming from a background with a bachelor's in philosophy, I must appreciate...

    Yeah...she has other things to scratch on. I think this carpet is just TOO darn tempting to claw though! Heh, but I think maybe after she's been here a few days it won't be so appealing anymore.

    New here, looking for a companion

    Well I was about to go to a local shelter tomorrow (they weren't open today), to look at a few siamese I had seen on petfinder.org. I had also posted on craigslist.com looking for a siamese two days ago. This afternoon I received an email saying that someone had to find their kitty a new home...

    Thanks... I have been using PetFinder.org actually - I really do like that site and have known about if for awhile now, just never had to use it :\\ However, I did find a nearby shelter that's doing $40 adoption fees - I think this is a time where there are lots of incoming animals? Springish...

    Greetings - I'm not having much luck finding the 'perfect' companion at this time. I was wondering if anybody could help out... Here's a little about me: I just moved to Seattle, WA from Wisconsin with my long-time boyfriend, and I'm going to be going to grad school here. We brought with us...
