    Cricket's Ears

    Good news. The prednisone appears to have worked. I have been applying Douxo for three weeks and the lesions are gone, skin is clear, and, hopefully, hair will be coming back. Only problem now is a spot on her white nose pad, which is concerning. I've dealt with a cat with SCC before and hope it...

    Cricket's Ears

    I just noticed the black spot today, so will be letting the vet know. If prednisone shows no improvement, I will be doing bloodwork. I believe we will get to the bottom of it, but want to keep cat as comfortable as possible. I'm going to try to not put anything on topically for a couple days to...

    Yes, she is an indoor cat only and very normal everything. Yes, cushings was one, but behavioral changes were not there - I will do bloodwork if prednisone doesn't work. Other options: feline paraneoplastic disease, but vet thinks there would be way more symptoms, plus it has been going on for...

Now, my neighbor has started setting so-called "dog proof" leg traps to catch raccoon and other vermin on the farmland that adjoins our properties. It...

    Driving me nuts!

    I got him in to the vet. There was a little blood and some crystals in his urine - gave him penicillin and antibiotic tablets, along with s/d food. She said it was a good thing I got him there early.

    Driving me nuts!

    My five year old neutered male has suddenly taken to spraying on my futon mattress - also on the vinyl flooring near the litter box. He also goes in the litter box, but seems restless. This has been going on for a couple days now. It seems like spraying rather than urinating. I have ordered an...
