I only recently learned about the liquid additives for drinking water, like the one from Petkin. I was curious if they were safe and effective because I've never known anyone who used them.

Callie's gums are really red and inflamed. She's only 15 months old, so my vet said she shouldn't have any dental issues/diseases, etc. She is worried that Callie has FORLs or a chronic oral inflammatory disease, hence the biopsy and xrays. Is there a possibility of less serious reasons her...

My vet thinks that Tigger had an allergic reaction... although I can't think what she would be allergic to. It's not like there has been anything new in the house, but I guess it's always possible. She is now on twice daily oral antibiotics, plus ointment (Hibitane) to apply to the sores for...

My cat above (along with my other cat) were at the vet the other day and I came home with $1500 in estimates for treatments... biopsies were recommended for both. We knew we had a problem with Tigger but had no idea we have a problem with Callie - extremely inflamed gums and she's only 15...

I'm sorry I didn't say or mean to imply that we could diagnose by seeing pictures. I've gotten some really great recommendations by doing this. It helps me then to research and go to the vet with a little bit of knowledge and lots of questions, having researched in advance (I'm an...

Is there a way you can take a picture of it and share it with us? My Tigger has 4 strange scabs, one just below her left eye. I just came from the vet the other day. Here's a pic (this was when the wound was new/fresh, now it is dark red and scabbed over): Is it anything like that, or is...

Okay here's the cost estimate from my vet. We know our vet is more expensive than many (and that our area is more expensive that most other cities) but it has never been this drastic before. Professional Care - full day.......$60 Ward Care - feline.....................24 Pre-anesthetic Profile...

We were at the vet yesterday... it was the vet who noticed the inflammation of the gums. I have a $600 quote for a biopsy that my other cat (Tigger) needs, and a $900+ quote for teeth cleaning and a gum biopsy for Callie (the kitten I wrote about above).

My kitty's gums are extremely red and inflamed (she's only 15 months old and my vet is worried it could be a serious condition). Kibble and treats that help teeth won't help her because she doesn't actually chew her food... she inhales anything she's given without biting. She's very...

How is Hilda doing now? Also, can everyone let me know how much you're paying for a dental exam & cleaning? Including anesthesia and x-rays, the quote I got the other day was much more than I expected. (My kitty is 15 months old and has inflamed gums). Thanks

eek - it's a full time job trying to get her to stop scratching at her sores!

A few days ago I noticed a tiny cluster of 3 or 4 bumps on one of Tigger's ears. Today they are scratched off and there are bleeding sores in their place. There are also two new spots - one above and one below her left eye. She keeps scratching them and I'm trying to watch her and keep her...

We have been trying to feed them morning and night and watch to make sure Tigger's eating (we transitioned from free feeding). But: 1) Tigger gets really upset when there's not food in the bowl, even if she doesn't necessarily want to eat it at the moment. So we leave some food for the day...

Okay here's a recent pic of my chubby Callie... this is just 9 months after the skinny pic of her in my sig!

Thanks for the suggestion. After I saw your message I switched to a food with 37% protein... they've been on this for about 2 weeks now. I'm trying to get my chubby kitty more active, and I'm sneaking extra food to my skinny cat when the other one is not around I swear Tigger is still losing...

I'm hoping someone can give me some helpful advice, as I'm not sure what to do. I've had Tigger for a few years, she was our only cat, not socialized with other animals, and was spayed. She came to us from a shelter and it was obvious she had been abused and was malnourished... it took us...

I was happy to see this thread and a few others on this topic. Callie (my youngest) has recently stopped covering up her poop. She's my newest kitty... we got her last summer. For a few months both cats had good litter behavior and we've been using 2 litter boxes. Lately Callie has stopped...

We're going away for 10 days over the holidays and I have to board my babies too We've used this place before, so I'm not overly worried, but I'm an anxious mom in general so it bothers me. This will be the longest they've been boarded. We're not boarding them together because they still...

I've been wanting to see it... thanks for sharing. I'll definitely have to go!

OMG... I've never heard of such a place I'm so jealous! Where do you live?
