I started my cat on Royal Canin Veterinary CC High Fiber food for his ulcerative colitis, and it's working wonderfully. After a year of struggling with diet and various medications, he's finally medication- and symptom-free. Not to mention happy with the food and leaner than he used to be. My...

Small thing here -- not a big deal, but I was curious. My cat has what appears to be a scab on his "thumb," the pink pad that protrudes out of the upper arm above the paw. I figure he either scraped it or injured it in a fight... it looks kind of blackish, and when I washed it with water it...

Has anyone's cat ever had a colonoscopy? Mine is likely to have one next week, and I was wondering what to expect and what's involved. Is the cat anesthetized? Did you have to withhold food for 12 hours beforehand? This is to try to figure out what caused his colitis, which started suddenly...

I'm having a hard time giving my cat Flagyl, which is bitter. He used to be easily pillable, but after a rough month with a lot of pills, he's now really fighting me. I'd managed to put them in a treat, but this morning he got a taste of the bitter and it was no go... I tried to pill him...

A friend's kitten has discolored toenails on one paw only. They look reddish and/or blackish, and also seem a bit brittle and rough (though I'm not 100 percent sure on the latter two). The nails on all his other paws are clear and healthy. Do any of you have experience with this? What do you...

I'm having a problem with my cat's litterbox behavior I can't figure out how to curb. He's had some problems in the past with defecating and urinating around the house behaviorally, but those seem to have stopped. But now he's doing a new thing... he stands in the litterbox, but most to all of...

My new white angora mix is the first non-shorthaired cat I've owned, and the shedding is overwhelming me. I groom him every day with both a regular brush and a round shedding blade tool, but it's still like a holocaust of hair. First off, do you think there's any chance this is just seasonal? I...

A month ago I adopted a three-year-old neutered cat from the shelter. He was previously owned and very domesticated and seems generally mellow in temperament, but I am having problems with him I canâ€8482t seem to solve. He seems afraid of my living room. I have a large window and outside that...
