In a cat that age it could also be some kind of nasal polyp or tumor. If the symptoms resolve within a few days then it's probably a URI. However, if they continue, do not postpone a follow up with the vet. I know of someone who had a cat that began sneezing a lot. Vet thought it was allergy and...

One article that I read said that although other animals and humans can be infected with the Toxoplasmosis supposedly only cats shed the Toxo in their feces so that's why the flushable litter is suspect. I have also seen other articles though that thought that there were other ways that the...

I would let them be as long as they are not actually fighting. By that I mean locked together in a ball rolling around. As long as it's confined to hissing and spitting let them sort it out. As long as Toby looks on it as playing he probably will not hurt her. They may have some tussles but it's...

Many cats tolerate Chemo well. The reason is because they can use a much smaller relative dose with cats than humans. A lot of people hear the word Chemo and say oh, no I don't want to put my cat through that but usually it is not as hard on the cat's system as a human. Also, human doctors treat...

I couldn't find anything on their website that indicates what the ingredients are so I would be very hesitant to use it. Some of the herbal remedies for fleas like Pennyroyal oil are actually toxic to cats.

In my experience the diffuser works much better than the spray. I saw little if any effect from the spray but the diffuser works well to calm my one nervous kitty.

I've had a couple of cats with CRF. One of them was like yours in that it was caught early. I elected to put him on diet that was lower in phosphorous using the listings below. He did not like the Hill's K/D so I chose a food that he liked from the listing which was lower in phosphorous than...

I had one cat who developed kidney failure at the age of 15. For the next year and a half we had him on a special diet and also had to give him fluid injections which he did not like. He died at the age of 16 and a half. After that, I decided I did not want to put a cat through that if I could...

Onions can cause something called Heinz Body Anemia in cats: http://www.peteducation.com/article....articleid=1108 I think it's unlikely that your cat ingested enough to be a problem but you might want to give your vet a call when you get a chance and ask if there is anything special you...

I had a cat that developed nasal lymphoma which was a tumor in his sinus cavity. I was told that since he was in good health otherwise that radiation therapy should eliminate the tumor. So that is what I had done and it worked out fine. He went on and lived another two years. So even if it is...

If you happen to live where the drains empty into the sea you should not use flushable litter. Many sea otters are dying of toxoplasmosis and flushable cat litter is thought to be one of the possible reasons why they are being infected. Toxoplasmosis is not neutralized by water treatment plants...

Places like Petsmart with the clinic carry it if you have one of those near you.

I'm really sorry about your cat. What a terrible thing to go through. The site below has information on the veterinary use of Acepromazine. It describes seizures as a result of overdose. It also describes medications that can be used to treat the seizures in the case of an overdose, which...

I would try a better brand of cat food such as Nutro which you can find at places like Petsmart and pet stores. If she still vomits I would consult with the vet to make sure their is nothing physically wrong. It may be however that you will need to separate the cats when you feed the dry food.

I had a cat that had a seizure for the first time around the age of 15. Although the vet said that it can sometimes be a bad sign the cat was fine afterwards and did not have another seizure for a couple of years. He might have had 3 or 4 seizures altogether over the next 4 years but ultimately...

I've had good luck using a product called Comfort Zone with Feliway during introductions. It is a plug-in that emits soothing feline pheromones. It sounds kooky but really works. I have a cat that would prefer to be the only cat and he gets really stressed out by new cats. We have been through...

I would feed them the Nutro kitten food until they are about a year old. Unless your vet says they are overweight I would give them as much food as they want.

Actually Iams started out as a small independent company that was started by an animal nutrionist Paul Iams in 1946. It enjoyed an excellent reputation for many years as a quality food. It was not until 1999 that it was acquired by Proctor & Gamble and its reputation has suffered since then.

You really, really need to have your cat seen by a vet and have the blood work done before you choose a food. The reason is because many cats will have some kidney impairment by the time they reach the age of 17. Cats with renal problems cannot tolerate diets high in protein. They need to be put...

I have had a couple of cat with kidney problems and it does sound like her symptoms are consistent with that. If it is her kidneys and assuming her other organs are in decent shape it is treatable with a change in diet and she might possibly require supplemental fluids. It shouldn't be too...
