Hey everyone, I adopted a cat named Ringo in February 2009 from a high kill shelter. When I brought him to my vet for his first check-up, we noticed he walked with a limp. The vet took a couple of x-rays and stated that it seemed that he broke his hind leg in the past but it healed...

I have this big fat cat named Boojie Baker. I love him but he's a troublemaker. He acts like an angel towards me but he terrorizes my two other cats. Holly, who is growling as I type this because Boojie is antagonizing her, can't stand him. Ringo puts up with him because he is a patient and...

Hey guys, I have a one year old fat cat named Boojie Baker. He licks EVERYTHING - pillows, blankets, my clothes, the mirror, walls, my hair, my face, my other cats, towels, counter, soap dish, etc. Basically, it's driving me crazy!! Fortunately, he does not seem to get sick but I would...

My best friend in the world passed away on Monday. Can someone please create a signature for Buster? I just don't know how to do it but I want him to be honored with something special. I will be happy to provide photos. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I had to put Buster to sleep today. He was diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and lost the battle. He was an amazing cat and the best friend I ever had. He was my first pet and such an important part of my life. I found him on the streets in 2000 and he...

I want to administer Transfer Factor Plus to my cat but the pill is too large for him. The pet store suggested that I mix it in chicken broth and administer the conconction via syringe. Is there a type of chicken broth I should buy? A vet tech told me to purchase low sodium. I notice that...

Does anyone have experience with this antibiotic? My vet prescribed this for Holly Golightly last week because of gingivitis. It's obviously working because her breath doesn't stink like a sewage plant anymore. However, I think it may cause constipation. I've been so stressed out with...

Buster will undergo a major surgery today to remove a mass from his bladder. I am very scared and trying to hold back the tears for the sake of Buster. He had blood in his urine for a month, which was misdiagnosed as a cystitis. Last week the radiologist performed an ultrasound and discovered...

Argh! I'm so frustrated! This seems to be the problem that never goes away. Buster has been struggling with some unknown urinary infection for over a month. Each time we think it is solved, the blood comes back. I don't know what to do anymore. I've spent over $2000 and I'm going into debt...

Several weeks ago, Buster had slight blood in his urine. It wasn't too bad but I took him to the vet. The urine results indicated that he had an infection and was prescribed Clamavox for ten days. The vet said he didn't have a blockage and there were no crystals. Ten days later, Buster's...

Can someone please tell me what are some of the side effects of Clamavox? The vet prescribed Clamavox for Buster's bladder infection and I noticed some slight fur loss since being on this medication. My roommate also thinks his fur looks dry. Buster also had diarrhea but the vet wasn't...

This morning as I cleaned Buster's litter pan, I noticed that the urine had some blood on the liner. I took him to the vet for an urine analysis shortly after. The urine wasn't bloody; it was just a little. Does anyone know what could this be? I'm so nervous because he's getting so old. The...

I'm at my wit's end with Holly Golightly (the orange cat)! When not sleeping, she runs like a maniac, knocks things off the shelves and tables, makes everything into a toy such as my personal items (jewelery, etc.), and wakes me up in the middle night when fiddling with the window blinds. The...

Last week Buster scratched Holly's head with his long nails. There was a little scratch and it was healing. However, when it started to scab, Holly started to itch it and it got worse and worse. The little nick grew into a large bloody area. I then decided to put an e-collar on her in order...

Ok, this is an unusual problem. I have this full-length mirror in my bedroom. Lately, whenever I go to this mirror to check my face or hair, Holly Golightly starts acting crazy. She has lived with me since May 2007 but only started this behavior within the past 1-2 months. She doesn't look...

Check out Buster with Santa Claus and the Grinch: Although we are Jewish, all proceeds of the photo shoot help support Hopalong Animal Rescue of the Bay Area. Anyone else have Santa photos?? Please post!

I'm freaking out! Buster received his yearly vaccinations about 3 weeks ago. He's never had any negative reactions until this last time. For the first two days, he vomited and itched the spots like crazy. In fact, he created two bald spots at the site of the vaccination. Ultimately, the...

Does anyone know the best way to determine a cat's age? When I found Buster on the street in 2000, the vet at the SPCA hypothesized that he was about 1.5 years by looking at his teeth. I carried that information over to the other vet. So his records state that he is about 9 years old...
