    Haven't been here in awhile... but Josh needs help!

    My poor boy... he's seemed to have hurt himself. It appears to be some kind of front paw injury. There doesn't seem to be any blood that I can see or swelling... and although he's not completely limping... he does seem to be favoring it. I have some metacam that expired in June of this...

    Flea & Tick season upon us!

    I'm not sure if I can post this here or not, but I figure it's worth the risk to help those that use Frontline Plus and things like that to save a lot of money! There's a great website that was given to me that sells it at a fraction of the price that we pay at the vet's or the clinic. It's...

    Just had to share...

    My kitty JJ... he's being so cute. Now that the weather is getting colder he's in his heat seeking mode. He is at this moment all snuggled up under the blanket between my husbands legs. My husband, I should say, is asleep in his recliner covered in a fleece blanket. JJ found his way under the...

    Update on Josh... he loves me, he loves me not....

    Well, he's doing much better. His curiosity and playfulness is back in full swing. Only problem is, he doesn't realize that he's not 100% yet. My major problem is is that he keeps scratching off the scab. Everytime he starts to look better... he starts scratching like crazy. I made him a...

    Kitty Litter...

    I need a quick answer... so hope someone sees this fast. My husband will stop on the way home so I need to tell him what kind to get. The kitty litter I'm using now is dusty and is making Josh cough everytime he uses the box. He doesn't want to use it to begin with and it's really putting him...

    His open area was beginning to heal from the inside out... I could see it drying up so I took the sock off. I acted too soon.... uggghh.. he scratched away whatever dry part he had and now it's open again. I know it's only been a week since his abscess burst... but how long will it take for...

    Do cats ever forget how to use the litterbox?

    My vet called today to follow up on Josh and nearly had a heart attack when I told her I'd been letting him go outside to pee. She said absolutely no outside... even if it's only for an hour because with his open area the risk of maggots is extremely high. He was litterbox trained for the...

    Josh won't stop scratching!!

    I had no other choice. I had to bring out the big guns. The sock was irritating him too much. No matter how I positioned it or how I finagled it with coban or cutting up the sock in different ways... he'd always find a way to push it down so he could scratch the area. It was driving him...

    To Suture or Not to Suture... That is the ?

    I just called the clinic where I took Josh on Monday and they said they gave me an estimate of about $50 to do the suturing. They can do it at 1pm today. I know it needs suturing. I wasn't happy with they way she handled him on Monday but he'll be sedated so she won't have a combative cat to...

    Update on Josh

    Just thought I'd let you all know... I brought Josh to the animal hospital today. You really do get what you pay for, I guess. The area was very small last night, but by the time I got him to the vet it had become 3 times it's size. They recommended sedation, a drain, and stitches and gave...

    My My poor Josh... he's just not himself...

    Hello all, I'm new to this forum, but I hope I can gain a bit of insight. My kitty Josh... he hasn't been himself for about 3 days now. Normal behavior for Josh would be... sleep about 20 hours a day, of the awake 4 hours he is playful, loves to interact with people. He wrestles playfully...
