My cat takes a low dose of prednisolone daily for IBD and chronic pancreatitis. He hasn't had a rabies vaccine since he started this med in 2019. We unfortunately had to change vets recently. We board him with vet when we travel, which isn't often, due to his medical issues. This vet will...

Hi, Our pet was released Friday from emergency vet for partial blockage. He had a cath for 2 nights, sent home on gabapentin and a med to relax urethra. So he actually hasn't strained at all when we got home, producing normal to large volume urine every few hours. He's now fully on Royal Canin...

Our cat (8) has chronic pancreatitis and is on daily prednisolone since 2020.. Since 2021 he's had low urine specific urine gravity bounces between 1.010 and 1.017. these tests are sporadic and usually done in ED during a flare. Our vet just performed yesterday outside of flare and it's still...

My 8 year old cat has chronic pancreatitis. Has had since 2020. Last flare was in January - ED and my regular vet said all his labs looked great. Today we went to vet for a different issue and we saw a different doctor (mine was at surgery). She went through his history and mentioned in January...

We are very careful leaving out any plastic bags as every cat we've had seems to want to munch them. Either Thursday morning or Friday morning I shooed Walnut away from an Amazon envelope (the white plastic bag ones) and then threw it out. I swear it was a split second! Everything normal since...

Our cat who has history of pancreatitis and possible IBD (on prednisolone, very low dosage) was seen in ED for constipation. He had an IV and started pooping all night. They sent him home on lactulose. After a day and a half he started diarrhea and a vomit. We took him back, they did an...

In the past I've posted about our cat Cashew passing from suspected GI lymphoma - also had EPI (pancreas basically dead). Then his brother Walnut started having some issues. Walnut is now fighting for his life with liver disease - but clear ultrasound two weeks ago. He's also not able to poop...

So Walnut is now on Flagyl to help with cecum and pancreatic inflammation. Before he went for ultrasound on Tuesday he was perfect, wouldn't think anything wrong. He's been on Flagyl since Tuesday afternoon and we are doing a slow food change. He's starting to act kind of lethargic and less...

disclaimer - our other cat Cashew (the one in question's brother) just passed from GI lymphoma this past October. So Walnut has had hairballs since we got him 4 years ago. They come and go, but one every month or so. Then he goes through spells where he would have them more often. He started...

We adopted Walnut and Cashew 4 years ago. Today is 2 months to the day we had to say goodbye to Cashew (we love you Cashew) due to intestinal cancer. This has just been an awful time in our lives, but Walnut is still our ray of light! They were incredibly bonded litter-mates, best friends...

Our little boy Cashew (4.5 yrs old) died this Monday night after battling lymphoma for a few months. My own grief is actually painful. Losing him so young, I don't know how to get over this. I've lost pets before, even a dog who was my heart, but this pain is something different. We were...

I posted this on another forum, but I've spoken with you all before; So after many visits and tests, our little baby Cashew, only 4.5 years old, has been diagnosed with intestinal lymphoma. We don't have a good prognosis. I've lost pets before, I know the pain, but this is particularity hard...

Any ideas on how long flagyl takes to work? He started Thursday morning, just had 5th dose (two a day -7-10 day prescription)this morning. He did have formed poops yesterday, but then a bit of diarrhea. This morning he's been in twice, with just droplets, but he's not in and out of litter...

So this all started when Cashew received metacam for his sprained food. 2 weeks later, the straining to poop, runny poop, etc. started. Saw 2 vets (our same clinic, but these aren't who we normally see) who did abdominal x-rays, he had his anal glands expressed and still in and out sporadically...

Both of my cats started a probiotic last Wednesday - vet suggested, one of them had a messed up stomach from medications. Vet said this would get him back on track and be good for both of them. Well, today one has been in and out with diarrhea squirts (first a normal poop) and the other had two...

My poor boy Cashew. History: Last year October he started not finishing all his meals at one time, but rather now choosing to eat throughout day. After bloodwork, x-rays, vet says he is perfectly healthy and just getting older, changing eating habits. This past mid-July - hurt his paw...

I need to give my cat a pill and today was really difficult. It's tiny, we wrapped him in a towel, put in his mouth but never got it fully in, he started foaming like crazy, it was dissolving, we kind of just rubbed it on his lips (what we could salvage of it) and then when he got down he...

I was giving my cat a 3 mm dose of a pain med and he moved and I accidentally shot it straight in his mouth rather than in cheek pouch. He smacked his lips, didn't spit it out or cough or anything, but now I'm worried about aspiration pneumonia. How soon would I know if he aspirated the medicine?

Hi all, I have two cats, Walnut and Cashew who are almost 4 years old. We've had them since 2015. They eat wet food morning, lunch, dinner. They used to have dry food out, but vet told us Walnut needed to lose weight, so we took that away. Walnut is 13.8 pounds, Cashew is 10.15-11.0 pounds...

Hi. We have two 1 year and about 3 month old male cats. Littermates. They were found at about 6 weeks old by a rescue in our area, we adopted them about 6 months later. They shared their own kennel/cage. Everything has been great, growing, eating, etc. Monday received 1 year distemper and...
