    Anyone using Atopica?

    Hi! I'm sorry your kitty has been going through a rough time. One of my cats has been on Atopica since July 2013 with very little success. She is on her third bottle and I am still giving her a dose every other day. I've tried tapering her down to where she should be at this point, but the hair...

    Hairless Tummy and Hind Legs

    No, the vet didn't check her thyroid in the latest blood work. I didn't think to ask. That is my next step...the limited ingredient food, then raw. I bought a bag each of Nature's Variety yesterday in dry and raw. She isn't too keen on eating wet food, but if my other cat didn't eat dry again...

    Hairless Tummy and Hind Legs

    Hi All, I apologize for taking so long to respond. Since my initial post, I've taken my cat to another vet and she prescribed Atopica in July, to no avail. Sabrina also had two rounds of antibiotics for the bacterial infection on her tummy and hind legs. She's on her third bottle and I still...

    Hairless Tummy and Hind Legs

    After reading tons online about cat food allergies, I've started mixing in Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet dry food in with what I have been feeding my cats to wean them over on it. Can't say my allergy girl is a fan, but we'll see how it goes. I've also switched as of today to Tide Free...

    Hairless Tummy and Hind Legs

    She is going on 6 years old. She had two sores back in October/November, one on her side and another on the back of her neck. The vet checked to see if they were ringworm, but it wasn't. She hasn't had anymore sores since.

    Is that something that can be checked for with a simple blood test, like with people?

    Hi JDollPrincess, No, they have not, and none of the vets brought it up.

    Hairless Tummy and Hind Legs

    A month after I moved into a new place, one of my cats started to lose the hair on her belly and hind legs. I took her to a vet for yearly shots a couple of months after it started and he said he thought it was anxiety from the move. Well, maybe, so I gave it a few more months.  Several months...

    Red discharge from eye

    Alot less discharge last night when I arrived home from work, and even less this morning, so she must be on the way out with that (I hope!) Thank you for your replies!

    Red discharge from eye

    It looks really red, almost like blood, after it dries. The eye itself looks fine.

    Red discharge from eye

    Hi, Before I go dashing off to the veterinarian with my baby girl (she's 2 years old), I wanted to ask if anyone has had an issue with their kitties having a red discharge from one or both eyes. I had to board my two for 7 days while I was out of town, and they both have been sneezing...

    Cabinet banging, pulls books off shelf, etc

    Thank you for the suggestion. Whenever she starts the cabinet banging, etc. I've played with her for about 20-30 minutes until she gets tired of it and now she is on the cat tree sleeping!! On the auto-feeder...it doesn't seem to matter if there is food in the bowl or not, she doesn't stop...

    Raspy Breathing - opinions and suggestions welcomed

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I think talking to the vet about it is in order. They both are active, eating and drinking, etc. Just raspy. I use Fresh Step scoopable litter. And the girl loves to watch the toliet paper twirl around when flushed, which I try to discourage. CR40

    Raspy Breathing - opinions and suggestions welcomed

    Hi, I've noticed in the 6 months that I've had my cats, both of them, particularly the female, are raspy when breathing. They both had an upper respiratory infection when I brought them home which has since cleared up. Has anyone had this issue, and did you change anything in your home that...

    Gnawing on things!

    My female does the same thing. She's about 8 months old. Thankfully she doesn't chew on power cords, just my purse strap, wallet, the edge of the cat tree, a box, just whatever she can sink her teeth into. I figure she'll outgrow that soon when she gets older. CR40

    Need advice-Behavior Changes after Vetalog injection

    Mine received only one injection of Vetalog, but yes, she has seemed to have bloated some, and it's been two weeks and one day - her happy cat personality still hasn't come back. The good news is her sneezing has decreased and the rodent ulcer is gone!

    This is really getting on my nerves

    Add my vote for no spanking. I'd rather have a happy cat than a scared cat. I actively play with my two, and they also play with each other. Sometimes when I go to bed, they are not ready for bed. I end up putting them out of the bedroom and closing the door. This has mellowed them out some...
