All I can do is think about him. I keep calling Duffie, Smokie by mistake. I am having him privately cremated and got an urn for his ashes. They will be returning him to me in about 10 days. My mom swears she sees the "ghost" of her one cat that was cremated. She has kept the ashes in a...

I keep calling my other cat Smo..-Duffie. I realize after reading more info on squamous cell carcinoma, Smokie spent his whole life sitting in the sun spot. If there was a sunspot anywhere in the room that is where you would find Smokie. He just loved sleeping in the sun. I don't go in the sun...

Smokie got the biopsy result today. I had taken him in this morning, he was having a terrible time over the weekend and not eating and he was having a lot of difficulty breathing. They started with giving him fluids and putting him in a nebulizer (steam room with mentholatum) He was dehydrated...

Smokie had to go into the Vet this AM. He was having alot of trouble breathing through his stuffed up nose. He also stopped eating and drinking on Saturday. He has lost almost 1 pound since he got sick and he only weighed 9-10lbs. to start, so I am worried. He is dehydrated a little. They are...

I got Smokie some infant decongestant today, the liquid kind. He tolerated it very well and is sleeping just now. He is still wheezy, I am hoping it will help and not harm him. I also got a Sudacare Vapor plug and put it next to him. I was nervous of any reactions he might have to the medicine...

Smokie has been on a month long course First 3 days of Metacam then a month of Prednisolone, had 3 more days of Metacam, is taking Clavamox and painkillers and is starting back on the Pred on Monday. I am just hoping it does not cause him any side effects. It can be harmful to the liver. He...

My vet is so annoying with her "worst case scenario" attitude. They think they are doing you a favor by preparing you for the worst, but I think it just sucks. She is still insisting it is a tumor and feels it is untreatable, even though we haven't gotten the biopsy results yet. She is basically...

I think if when you lift her tail and she then has use of her legs, maybe it is just a major blockage (constipation) The least you can do is get some pet laxitive and try it. If it is some other blockage (blood clot or tumor) she will need a vet. Like I said they offer Care Credit at the Vet's...

Maybe he is hemopheliac (like humans) they bruise very easily and if his mouth bleeds maybe the food he's eating is too rough. Just give soft foods. If he doesn't have any other symptoms or acts ill I would not put him through a bunch of more tests. Seems he's had plenty already. If they can't...

Duffie he weighs like 20#, he looks evil in this pic, but don't let that fool you he's worse. He was born bad, he's the devil in disguise. If cat food has the calories listed maybe you could check some of those.

I did not have the $ to take my cat to the vet but, I did it anyway. I am unemployed, but I got Care Credit at the Vet and I have 90 days same as cash or I can make payments. Sounds pretty serious, although my Mom suggested that sometimes when a cat is real constipated they can do that. Only...

I am glad that the Clavamox is working for your kitty. Mine not so fortunate yet, but only time will tell. He is okay but, just not getting better. We are still working on it. It is a wonderful thing when they can treat something right away and stop it in it's tracks like that. You have a really...

I just read an article about vaccines causing paralysis in pets and that may be the case. I wouldn't put the cat through horrible or expensive tests if it was perfectly fine prior to the vaccine. I think it would have been your Vet's first reaction to blame the vaccine, but of course that would...

He is brave and strong. He is half way there now. I am so proud of him.

We just had the biopsy surgery today. They will send samples to lab for result. The bone biopsy will take up to 7 days and the tissue biopsy may be sooner 2-3 day, if they got a good sample. Smokie was good and brave. He is a bit dopey right now. He has a shaved spot on leg and on cheek and he...

Smokie has had a required tests done now and I am picking him up at 6:30p. He did very well and he is coming home with some pain meds, anti-inflammatory and anti-biotic until we get the results of 2 biopsies that were taken today. He has clear chest and lung X-ray which mean if it is tumor, good...

Smokie is the worst at taking a bitter pill. He can spit it out faster and farther than imaginable. One time I put it in his mouth repeatedly 6 times before he finally swallowed it. If you can get it to the back of their mouth, the automatic response is swallowing before they even taste it. I...

For anyone who says for fact that Michigan does not have brown recluse spiders, they are just going by a myth. My ex-boyfriend got bitten by one as well. I would like to see your pic if you want to send it privately to me, I need all the resources I can get. Thanks for your input and believing me.

Smokie is around 12+ years. He has been with me for at least 11 years. Even this picture doesn't do him justice because his eyes are actually emerald green and they almost look yellow in the pic. He looks exactly as he did when I first got him, like he hasn't aged a day. He has always been...

My cat Duffie is huge, bigger than my Shih-Tzu. He eats Science Diet crunchies and that is all. He happens to be on the sensitive stomach formula. He used to eat Friskies wet canned food but, stopped liking it. He now solely eats the Science Diet dry food and he gets fatter by the minute
