Hi LDG - Thanks so much!  It was a proper BM, not just a small bit of watery poo, which makes me hopeful it's not an impaction.  I'll take a look at those links right now.   Have a great day!

At 7:15 this morning (it's 7:40 here now), I was bound and determined to bring my cat into the vet for an emergency visit when the office opened at 7:30.  I had seen no sign of poop from her for a couple of days which is never a good thing.  So yesterday afternoon I gave her a bit (1/8 t) of...

Could he have diabetes?  That would explain the weight loss and the neuropathy (which would lead to walking strangely).

Thanks for the advice, cloud_shade. I actually have some hairball medication already (Dusty had a bit of constipation earlier in the year and the vet gave it to me to help. And it certainly did!) so I'll start giving it to her as recommended on the box and see if it helps. I believe that...

Hello. My lovely cat, Dusty, has been vomiting recently. She's about 10 years old and has been taking fluconazole for about 8 months for valley fever. She's been vomiting somewhat regularly (maybe three times a week? but sometimes a couple days in a row and then nothing for a while...) for...

Thanks for the response, Hissy. Yeah, I know that several days doesn't work. I'm still not expecting that they love each other since it has only been a couple of weeks that I've had Adele (in fact, my guess is that it'll take a couple of months at least for Dusty to warm up to Adele). My...

Hi all, I just got a new kitten, Adele. She's about 9 months old (was a stray, so the vet guessed from her teeth) and has just gone into a spay cycle. She's loud and very, very affectionate. Here's the thing...I've got another cat, Dusty. Dusty is about 9 years old and has been an only cat...

Thanks for the suggestions Dusty's wounds are largely healed...they're scabbed over and she's got the e-collar on so that she doesn't lick at the scabs and open them up...so I'm not too worried about the wound being able to dry since it already is. She'll just stay in the e-collar...though...

Could it be a swollen lymph node? My cat had a lump (on her lower tummy) that I thought was cancerous and it turned out to be a swollen lymph node (from valley fever). You can go here: http://www.lbah.com/lymphnode.htm to see the location of the various lymph nodes in cats to see if your cat's...

Hi...my apologies if someone else has posted this question before...it's hard to search through everything without the search function! My cat, Dusty, had surgery last Thursday and has been suffering through all sorts of indignities aimed at keeping her from licking at the wound (I fashioned a...

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I cut up the sleeve of one of my long-sleeved t-shirts and tried that, but it was a touch too tight...so I made it into a kittycat corset (cut down middle, put holes on both sides and laced it with a stray shoelace) that has worked rather well....I only...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try the crepe bandage and see how she copes with it...she's a pretty low key cat, so I'm certainly not expecting her to be running through the house trying to rip it off!

Hi...I'm new to the board and have been browsing. There's such great information here! I've got a 9 YO cat, a beautiful long haired tortoise shell humane society kitty named Dusty who must have some Maine Coon in her since she's SO big! I've had her for two years and we get along...
