So the fact that the numbers in red increased by that much in 2 weeks isn't serious? If I can just give her fluids and not have to give her another antibiotic, that would be ideal. Is PetGuard not low-phosphorus?

Can I get fluids somewhere in the city?

Okay, thank you! I just sent all of the results to her previous vet (who is also a homeopath/holistic vet).

Here are the lab results.

I did do subQ fluids on her a few years ago - I would just need a refresher course. Do you think the antibiotics aren't necessary? Just fluids? She hates being in a cat carrier and going to the vet - are there cats that like it? ;)

Hi. Thank you for the quick response! I forgot to mention that she weighs 6.25 lbs. She lost almost one pound in 8 months. She eats PetGuard Premium Feast wet food. No dry food. No intestinal issues - she's acting normal. The reason I knew she had a UTI was because I woke up one day and saw...

Hi. I'm seeking advice for my 17 year old kitty Scat. Ten days ago, she was diagnosed with a UTI, and I gave her antibiotics at home. I took her in yesterday to recheck her levels, and I have attached the results (Creatine 4.2, BUN 66, Phosphorus 6.7). The vet is recommending inpatient for 2...

The only thing that changed in the 10+ years is the addition of the Feliway Diffuser, so I'm really just curious if anyone has experienced any adverse effects. Neither of them is having bms.

Nothing has changed in their environment except the addition of the Feliway to possibly help with the 2 random urine incidents. Tommy (10 yr old Tabby) is a gigantic (15 lb) love cat. Total cuddle cat that lets you do whatever you want to his belly. He's the best. And they've both only ever...

Hi. I have 2 cats - Tommy (10 year old male tabby) and Scat (17 year old female tortie). A few weeks ago, one of the cats peed on the bed. We think it was Tommy, so we took him to the vet (there was one other accident on the carpet - and they NEVER have accidents), and all test results came...

Thank you!

Hi, Besides having two cats of my own, I occasionally take care of a friend's cat, and she is 16 and has become extremely finicky regarding her food. She loves Nutro Max Wet food, but ONLY salmon or turkey. Nothing else. No combinations with other "flavors." And she can't find it anywhere. If...

I just read that the corn plant is poisonous to cats. I've had a corn plant for as long as I've had cats (10 years). One of my cats, Ella, had intestinal lymphoma and I had to put her to sleep 2 years ago. I do remember she would chew the leaves occasionally, and I'd always "shoo" her away...

I'm taking my beloved Ella in to be euthanized. Is it okay for me to bring my cat to the vet NOT in a carrier? The thought of coming home with an empty carrier...well, you know...

Wow, thank you for all the wonderful information. I decided to cancel the appointment with the oncologist. The type of lymphoma Ella has (intestinal) is extensive, throughout her lymph nodes, and I just feel like I should go the holistic route. I had a phone consultation with a woman named...

Thank you everyone for your messages. It's comforting to be able to "talk" to other people who have gone through this. I made an appointment with an oncologist for this Wednesdsay. KTLynn, did you like amcny? I've heard mixed opinions. I'm taking Ella to NYC Veterinary Specialists. This...

My cat Ella had exploratory abdominal surgery last week, and on Friday I got the biopsy results - intestinal lymphoma. She is approx 10 1/2 years old (rescue kitty), I've had her for almost 8 years. I also have one daughter from her litter, "Scat" (7 years old). She has lost 2 1/2 pounds in...

Thanks for your advice. I've tried to put Tommy in the bedroom with the door closed, but he cries like crazy at the door, and Scat is on the other side trying to get in there. And it doesn't stop! SO...I opened the door, tried the vanilla trick, and so far it's not working. Sigh... My...

The problem is between my 2 female adult cats, not with the kitten. Scat (daughter of Ella) is getting along fine with Tommy (kitten). Ella hisses at him. But Ella doesn't want to have anything to do with Scat. I tried putting Tommy in the bedroom, but then Scat sits outside the door crying...

So even though they have all had access to all the rooms since Saturday, I should put the kitten back into the bedroom with the door closed? The problem seems to be between the 2 female cats - horrible sounds are coming from Ella...like a pig snorting! And I know that if I do that, Scat will...
