Hi, i just took my 16 year old female cat to the vet for her 6 month checkup. The vet did the exam and said the left kidney is small and the right one is normal. The rest of the exam went fine and she looked in good shape. She had blood work 6 months ago and the results were good. I got blood...

Just got home and my 16 year old female cat's hind legs are spreading out when she walks. Like they're week or something. I'm taking her to the emergency vet. Anyone know what this means? I'm freaking out because i was out of town for 4 days and a friend watched her. They said she didn't eat...

Hello, i posted a week back about my 16 year old female cat having soft stool for 2 weeks. I originally thought it was caused by an antibiotic shot she was given as the soft stool began immediately after the shot. I took her to the vet after a week of soft stool and they gave her and antibiotic...

Hi, my 15 year old female cat was diagnosed with asthma about 4 years ago. I give her Flovent every few days. I started 2 x a day but new vet said to cut down. I have noticed off and on that she will do something like a hiccup or something with her throat like liquid came up and she swallowed...

Hello, My 15 year old female cat has been going to the vet 2x a year for checkups. I just got a call that her blood work shows her BUN being 46 and creatine 2.6 which my vet says is a sign of failing kidneys. Her history: She is 15 years old but just a lively as ever and she eats well. She...

Hello, i'm having a very hard time finding a stainless steel water fountain for my cat. I currently have a plastic one and think it may be causing a puffy chin on my cat. I heard stainless is less likely to get moldy. I clean the fountain more than once a week and it seems to get dirty quick...

Hi, I picked up Vitamin E Oil at the drug store on a doctor's recommendation for a scar. It shows the other ingredients are coconut and soybean oil. I put it on and my cats started licking it off like a fiend! Does anyone know if it's safe for my cat? I cannot find a definitive answer...

Hi, I went to the vet back in March because I just noticed this cyst like small lump on my cat. He said he couldn't say for sure what it was and I decided I'd watch it to see if it changes. My cat is female and 14years old. DOES THIS LOOK FAMILIAR TO ANYONE?

I recently found a small pinky nail sized raised cyst like lump under my 14 year old female cats arm on her chest. I took her to the vet and they could not say for sure what it was without a costly biopsy or surgical removal. I'm hoping its a harmless cyst and said I would prefer to watch it...

Hi, I just noticed a small flesh colored bump the size of a pencil eraser under my black fluffy cats arm. She keeps moving and gets mad when I try to investigate further. She's an indoor cat. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks!

Ok, i'm sure i've asked this before and i've asked the vet who seems like "oh hmm" never giving much thought... My 14 year old cat was diagnosed with asthma a year ago and ever since they did the X-ray to see if she has asthma she has been licking her lips and swallowing (and making a...

Hi, I started my 14 year old female cat on Flovent 1 week ago. She seems to have no adverse reactions. I have 2 questions: I am going away for a week and will not be able to give her meds while gone (no one would be able to get near her to do so very shy cat). I wouldn't say she had severe...

Hello, My cat was diagnosed with asthma a year ago. She was prescribe Theodur which seemed to suck the life out of her (stopped after 4 days). Then the doctor has been giving her a steroid shot about every 3 months. Now the Vet has prescribed FLOVENT (twice a day) and ALBUTEROL (only for...

What do people think about leaving a cat home alone for 4 days? I have a cat water fountain and a feeder. My cat only likes me and I have no one to watch her. Boarding her is not an option. When left with room mate during other trips she hides in my room. Is this safe?

Hello, my cat (that i've mentioned in previous posts - 13yr old female with asthma that was doing the licking of the lips) was lying on her back. Right in the center of her belly I notice there was a spot smaller than the size of a dime without any hair. I've seen other cats with hair...

My cat has been licking her lips very often (looks like she just got done eating and is cleaning her lips but she has been doing this all the time). She is a 13yr old female cat diagnosed with asthma last year and also had a urinary problem (bloood and crystals) that has been treated with...
