    Steroid shots and coughing/sneezing

    Hey hey! Thank you so much, I have heard herpes mentioned a couple of times with his symptoms but havn't really read more on it. We adopted him from the humane society and he had the "sniffles" when he first came in there as well. His eyes aren't leaking, but he does have goopy in it every day...

    Steroid shots and coughing/sneezing

    I'm not sure, but he did have an x-ray in the same visit, and in the summer he had blood work done and all was good.

    Steroid shots and coughing/sneezing

    possibly, but this started happening 4 days after the injection and he wasn't doing it before. The coughing he was doing previously was prolonged and presented differently. He hasn't been doing that now. I have 2 other cats, they are all indoors. no candles or air fresheners

Is all...

    3 cat household

    ya, it is short but I guess when we did the first two they were fine with eachother within a week. The 3 now are fine for I'd say 95% of the time it's just if one gets too close and even then sometimes it's ok

    3 cat household

    We have introduced a 3rd cat into the house and are struggling a little. The first two are extremely well behaved, quiet cats. The new one we brought home is loud, and keeps fighting to try and show dominance. I understand this is normal behaviour but anything we can do to help the transition...

    Introduction Experts

    yes, we have done most of this and tomorrow we are going to allow them to swap rooms so new guy can see the rest of the house, and my 1 year old can check out the room he was staying in. New guy seems very comfortable and antsy to explore. My 1 year old seems timid, but curious. i'm just worried...

    Introduction Experts

    I have a 1 year old cat that we have had since June. Yesterday we adopted a 2 year old. We let them briefly see eachother through the cat carrier and my one year old hissed a couple of times. We have been keeping the newcomer separate, but today we opened the door a crack so they could see...

    Diabetic cat not eating/Ate some seedlings

    it was not that plant, it was a seedling of the corn you would eat from the grocery store. we havn't given him insulin since Wed as per the vets instructions. I have been properly trained, yes and we were giving him 2 units. I do not give him any unless he eats. The vet took a glucose sample...

    so frustrated :(

    no, they go in the basement at night and this has always been the case, but their food, litter etc is down there so it is like their "area"

    we have two cats about 5 years old. one is extremely needy and jealous and i have always been the one that mainly gives him attention. for the past couple of months he has been spraying in the basement due to a neighbourhood cat my husband feeds and pets. we are almost positive this is why as...

    cat peeing/spraying

    I have two 5 year old male, neutered cats. One of them has either been spraying, or peeing around the house. We are not sure which one, but we have a pretty good idea because he has always been extremely jealous and needy lol. On the weekend I noticed that he had sprayed/peed in the dirty...

    Male cat trying to mate with another male

    I just watched my male cat mount my other male cat who was sleeping, bite the back of his neck, and make a humping motion on him. Was he trying to mate with him, or show some kind of dominance? They are both neutered.

    My cat smells.

    hmm I wasn't aware of that. I just noticed the smell today, so no I havn't spoken to the vet about it yet. He has never had this issue before.
