Well, it has been over two weeks and Phoebe is still not eating. I took her back to the vet yesterday to make sure there wasn't something else going on. She had lost a bit more weight as she still was not eating. The vet check her urine to make sure her kidney were ok, and all values were good...

Phoebe has had asthma for the last 9 1/2 or her 12 1/2 years. Last year on her chest x-ray, the vet saw a very small spot on her lung. While it was presumed to be cancer, we did not do any further testing to confirm the diagnosis. I was told that if this was lung cancer that it would be very...

So far I think Phoebe is ok. She ate as normal and is currently sleeping on my bed where she lands once my husband leaves for work. She did seem to look for Tornado last night, but just walking around a bit; otherwise, all in normal here. I will keep a close eye on her this week before we leave...

Today I had to put Tornado to sleep. He had renal failure and looked so bad this morning that I knew it was just time. Tornado and Phoebe are 12 year old brother and sister. The two never really bonded and usually paid no attention to each other. They tend to stay in different rooms, but might...

Thanks beandip, that is what I was looking for. I had in my head something about being florescent , but wasn't sure I remembered correctly. I wanted to look it up and get more info about it before I called the vet tomorrow. I don't think I have gone a week in the last 2 months without going to...

The good news is Tornado is pooping in the litter box ALMOST everytime; he did go on my daughter's bed once during the past week. The bad news is one of he cats is peeing on the piece of plastic I have covering the old stained areas. Which ever cat it is, is not peeing there all the time. There...

Update-Well Tornado is using the litter box! I saw him use it the first night and was thrilled! I am checking the box several times a day to keep it clean and to see if he is using it. Come into the cat's room the next morning and find that the litter box has been used; so has the plastic I...

lyric-Wow! If Tornado were peeing in other locations my husband would want him out immediately! He is not a cat lover, but he doesn't hate them. Because the pee has been contained in a room that we don't use, my husband has been tolerant. He is not happy about replacing the carpet as it was in...

So today I went out on a mission-I bought Cat Attract, a plastic drop cloth, a larger plastic container to use as a litter box. Got home to fine the container had a crack in it so I will have to exchange it tomorrow. Cleaned the current two litter boxes, one is covered (large booda dome) and...

So many helpful ideas, some I have try and others I will give a try. As far as pilling Tornado, I have and can pill every other cat and dog I have had or currently have-Tornado just likes to live up to his name and is hard to keep a hold of. He is really good at clamping his mouth shut or if...

I would not allow him to be rehomed to a house where he wouldn't be an inside cat only. He would not survive outside after being in for 11 years. I would be afraid he would run off and get killed which is worst than putting him to sleep. I think he would scream and carry on if locked in a cage...

I have thought about the cat attract litter; one question-are cats that are indoor cats only still attracted to the smell of this litter? Tornado has had 3 or 4 urinalysis over the course of treatment. He shows no crystals in his urine, but the vet changed him to prescription diet anyway just...

I have used enough Nature's Miracle to own stock in the company!! My carpet cleaner is going to come and clean the room. Hopefully between the Natire's Miracle and the professional carpet cleaning we can get most of the smell out. I know that the urine might have gone through to the sub floor...

I need advice and wasn't sure where to which forum to post it on. Please be kind to me as I have struggled with this for a while now. Tornado is 11 years old and has been healthy his entire life. About 3 months ago he decided to stop using the litter box for pooping; as he only went ever 2 days...

Yes, she will remove the stone/stones and flush out the kidneys. Tornado will be on a special diet which I am not thrilled with, but we will do what we need to do. I just recently switch Tornado and Phoebe to Innova Senior to add more fiber to their diet. I am not fond of the RX foods! He also...

Tornado is an 11 year old male long hair. He has a UTI and is on antibiotics. I took him back to the vet today as he is still peeing and pooping outside the litter box. He was xrayed and has at least one stone in his bladder. The vet wants to operate to avoid problems. I trust the vet, but I am...

I just switched my two 11 year old cats to Innova Senior which surprisingly is fairly high in protein at 38%. While it is lower in fat- 12%, according to Innova, there is 30.6% carbs. Usually the senior and light formulas are full of fillers/carbs. I needed a food with higher fiber content which...

I would also like to here the thoughts on this . My two 11 years old inside cats have been on California Natural Chicken and Rice for a few years. The female has severe asthma which is why I went with this food to begin with; I thought maybe some of her issues were due to food. The male cat is a...

I have only used the inhaler for the past five years. The couple of times she has had a full blown attack, a trip to the vet for a shot and some oxygen has done the trick without having to give oral meds. The other thing I have done is for when I have to leave town. Usually a kid from the...

Phoebe has had asthma for years; we first found out when she had a full blown attack which required a full day in an oxygen tent and steroid injection. We started her on pred tablets twice a day until I decided to try to inhaler. What a difference the inhaler has made! She get flovent once a day...
