    Smoke had his HCP/FELV and 3 year Rabies vaccines this afternoon. Shortly after arriving home he spit up a little after eating. Mostly water, not a lot. Then a few hours later after dinner he looked like he was about to throw up again. I either saw his tongue or he sucked the throw up back in, I...

    Pet Insurance

    Does anyone know if you can get pet insurance AFTER your cat is diagnosed with an illness? I just adopted my boy last Tue 11/24 and he was diagnosed with Triaditis today. It all happened so fast and pet insurance wasn't even on my mind. Can I apply now and back pay but then submit any expenses...

    Good Night, Sweet Tessie

    I'll miss you Tessie (6/4/08-2/6/18) Tessie (named after the Dropkick Murphys' Red Sox song) was THE BEST. I adored her from the minute I met her in July 2008 from PAWS in Chicago. I knew she'd be mine when I left the room she was in to check out some other cat rooms, only to return to find her...

    Cat Stopped Eating, Tests Clean, What Next?

    11.5 year old Tessie's eating habits changed end of Dec. She was eating less and seemed uninterested even as I offered her different kinds of food and even chicken, which she normally loves. She was also lethargic and just stayed on my bed. And her breathing seemed heavier. I should also note...

    Cat Grooming while cat is in cone

    My cat is on week 4 of the cone and she's really starting to get matted and unkempt. She's dying to get free to clean, but we got a couple more weeks to go before her wound from surgery is healed up. Any products that can be used to clean her? I've seen that waterless shampoos exist, but do they...

    10 yo female having surgery to remove infected nipple

    Has anyone else experienced this? I first noticed an inflamed nipple about 3-4 weeks ago and showed the vet during her route visit. He drained it and gave her antibiotic shot but there was no change in it after 2 weeks. He didn't seem to think it was cancer as he didn't feel the lumps you...
