I thought about that, the patch sticking to the skin :/ I'll ask about the liquid pain killer and see. Thanks!

Hah, yeah. I imagine she will get pretty frustrated. Her jumping skills have never been the best, but recently her age is starting to creep up on her. My husband and I will be building a ramp and some kitty stairs up to our bed so she can get up and get down without breaking herself. Surgery...

I asked him about it and he felt that it'd be best for her to de-claw but did bring up cutting the nails farther back but due to the growth rate and the way they curve it wouldn't be long before they go back to curling under again. It's the way her nails are curling under that's causing the...

I am in a situation where it's necessary, but ANY other time I would never ever ever put a cat through de-clawing. EVER. I am beyond heartbroken to be honest. My eldest cat is 11 years old, she's the bright light of my life (aside from my stinky husband). Through these 11 years I have gladly...

As it stands, between craigslist, facebook, and an ad placed at my husbands employment, I didn't get a -single- email or call from anyone. So we still have Olley and things are getting more stressful. This is a cut and paste from my personal journal tonight: We've been out all evening at a...

Well. I spoke too soon. We caught him peeing on the carpet in our bedroom twice last night in the same spot- apparently he's been doing it while we weren't paying attention. As discussed with my husband we are going to rehome him with someone who understands he needs to be permanently outdoors...

We took Olley to another vet for a second opinion and had him loaded up on tests. He has nothing wrong with him. $350 worth of blood tests, urinalysis, bacterial cultures, etc, and there is literally not a thing was found, in fact they said he was extremely healthy aside from being overweight at...

Hey guys: Olley literally got a Clean Bill of Health. They did an ultrasound on him and found nothing, they've done xrays, they've done blood tests, they've checked his kidneys. He has nothing wrong with him. He's always peed like this, it's just gotten worse over the last several months. And...

Well. Olley peed on the bed last night while I was asleep. My husband and I are coming down to finding Olley a home as a permanent outdoor cat. He knows someone at work who has a friend that is interested in having an outdoor "barn cat" so we may take that route. We can't have him urinating...

Olley has been peeing in the tub for the last several days now. I finally heard back from our vet who is ordering us the topical treatment that is rubbed on the inside of the ears and is absorbed through the skin. We'll see how that goes :/

We've used Feliway and it doesn't do anything unfortunately. And I'm becoming fairly impatient with my vets since they've had two weeks to decide if we should put him on something else. I had to wrap up Olley in a blanket this morning because he was fighting me so much

Sunday morning Olley peed in the bathtub. He had been on the Amit. for a week. HOWEVER. My husband and I talked and we agreed that this incident should slide for three reasons: 1)We'd had company since Thursday and I hadn't cleaned the litterboxes Saturday. The litterboxes were full. 2)It was...

try mulberryfarms.com for insects like hornworms, silkworms, waxworms, butterworms, and roaches. Beardies like a varied diet.

Hah! I have that first food chart, but not the second *adds onto her list*.

;_; Until my vets can make up their minds, we are putting Olley back on the amit. He peed in the bath tub again. He's been harassing Bob at night. The fact that this is a behavioral issue is frustrating to myself and my husband, we can't have him peeing in the new house. If the meds end up not...

Another frustrating issue. Now that the cats are indoors all the time (the 3 in/outs have always been so) we have to deal with the dominance problems. Dominance problems only seem to be occurring at night. Last night was the worst so far. Since Olley has been off the amit. he's perked up a lot...

For the moment the vet said to keep him off of both. I did research and noticed that the clavamox has that tendency to make cats vomit over time. We have always had a hard time giving him oral medications, he fights it and it wastes pills :/ We've never seen any reaction to topical type...

Update: Last night was a nightmare. Olley refused the amit. but we managed to get down some clavamox. Unfortunately he vomited everything up and had continue to vomit till around 9:30 this morning. He couldn't hold down food or water so we ran him to the vet. They checked his weight, blood...

My male cat Bob has never sprayed, he has never soiled outside of his litterbox. I've never seen him spray outside either, so yes they do exist. On the other hand, I do have a male cat currently on amitriptyline since it was decided his spraying and urinating was a behavioral issue. I do...

I imagine my vet will want to hear back from us soon. I think the months worth is more or less so she can tell whether he has any bad reactions to it. I'll talk to her about getting another two months worth just in case. And yeah, he's sleeping a lot. But I also think he's just hiding since we...
