Katy is 16 and has some chronic health issues. Four years ago, she was diagnosed with HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) which has been treated since then. At the same time she was diagnosed with hyperT and had I131. That same year, she was also diagnosed with IBD and has been on oral...

Bailey is on a combination of Royal Canin rabbit and Nature's Variety rabbit, both canned. Because the RC is a prsecription diet, I get that from my vet. There's a store here in town that sells NV, but it costs $1.89 for a 5.5 oz can! I've ordered NV from SitStay.com before and their prices...

I'm just at my wits' end with Katy and all her meds. She's on 2 heart meds, pred alternating with Leukeran for IBD, Cosequin for arthritis and an antibiotic for a chronic UTI. She had a dental last week and had to have 8 teeth removed, so the vet put her on Antirobe which after 2 days caused...

Please say a few extra prayers for Katy tomorrow. She's having a dental. Though I don't ever like the thought of any of my cats going under anesthesia, Katy has HCM so I'm really nervous about it . . . scared to death in fact! Her HCM was first diagnosed a little over 2 years ago when I...

A friend of mine got a kitten last week. He was initially found in a house with about 20 other cats that were allowed to "go" anywhere they wanted. A vet clinic took some of the cats in and he was there for approximately 4 weeks, until my friend adopted him. Of course, at the clinic he was...

Does anyone here order their prescription cat food on line? After Bailey's surgery and diagnosis of IBD, he was started on Royal Canin/IVD rabbit & green peas canned. I'm having a terrible time getting it. My regular vet will only order in quantity (5 cases at a time) because if they order...

This is one of my most favorite pictures. It's Bailey who's in my sig and Kirby who I lost in 2001 to lymphoma. Bailey idolized Kirby and followed him wherever he went.

Here are a couple pics of my fur family. The first one is all 3 of them together which doesn't happen very often, at least not this close together! And this one is Bailey. He flipped the empty laundry basket over and climbed in. It'll give you an idea of how big he is really is, but...

Could someone please help me resize it? Here it is. Thanks.

Does anyone use a water fountain for their cats? I took Katy back to Iowa State yesterday for a recheck because she didn't seem to be recovering from her pancreatitis. Well, as it turns out, they're not even sure she's got pancreatitis. On ultrasound, her pancreas was smooth and small with no...

Gosh, I'm even embarrassed to ask this question. Sounds kinda' silly, but . . . Bailey is a big guy, 28 pounds right now, and he's on a diet, so 28 pounds is good! He has trouble cleaning his bottom. He'll let me clean off any poop that gets on his fur (he's short-haired), but how do I...

Katy's story is king of a long and complex one, so I'll just hit the highlights here. A couple of years ago she was diagnosed with HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and has been on medications for that since then. Right after that, she was also found to be hyperthyroid so had I131 and then...

I just wanted to say hi to everyone and introduce myself and my kitties. I'm Debbie and I live in Iowa with my 3 kitties, Chloe, Katy and Bailey. Chloe is a 17-year-old tortie who is the gentlest little thing I've ever seen, Katy is a 14-year-old all-black polydactyl with a white spot on...
