A little over a week ago, all of my cats got really sick from some Friskies. All 8 cats got sick and were sick for about a week. The Friskies people said they haven't had any other reports like that, so I don't know how I got the bad can or cans.  Maybe one of the cans had a bad seal and...

I have 8 cats, 4 dogs, a bird, 2 hermit crabs, and 3 fish. People tend to tell me I have too many animals, expecially since I don't make enough money to be able to do all the things I want to do for them, like keep up with vaccinations, flea and heartworm stuff,a really healthy diet, and lately...

On Tuesday night my 4 year old cat, Belle, had a seizure. I took her to the emergency vet. Why do pet crises always happen at night or when regular vets are closed? Anyway, she didn't appear to have anything wrong with her but the fit, so it's probably epilepsy. My regular vet said we will...

I posted about this at the end of the thread in Cat Health, which I started when she hed to get the bladder tumor antigen test. I had her put to sleep tonight. I wanted to post these pics of my sweet mamacat. These were taken when her babies were little 4 years ago. I also want to say so sorry...

Rags has been at the animal hospital since Wednesday morning. She can't pee without  a catheter and the vet says she has never seen a blocked female. Three years ago Rags had a bout with cystitis and it was treated and cleared up. She's been fine, or seemed fine, all those years. She recently...

Well, Rags is still having problems. She has bloody urine and is straining in the box. She was having a lot of problems a while back and almost died. She had a mysterious lump that went away. I guess I'll find out what's going on tomorrow, or at least I hope so. She's been on antibiotics on and...

When the vet got ready to do the exploratory surgery today the lump had mysteriously disappeared! I felt it myself and two other vets had felt it on Saturday and Monday, but today it was gone! They did an x-ray and everything was normal. They did blood work and checked for FIV and leukemia. All...

Rags has really perked up in the last couple of days. Yesterday she ate on her own and she ate quite a bit. She still hasn't pooped, though. Maybe this is an intestinal obstruction after all. I'll find out after they open her up. I'm waiting anxiously for a call. But the good news is that she...

I haven't been here for awhile. I first logged on a couple of years ago when I adopted a pregnant cat and named her Rags. She gave me 6 babies and I kept 4. The runt, Cuddles, died of pneumonia and I rehomed one. Well the situation now is that a couple of days ago Rags started feeling bad and...

I have eight cats and 7 litter boxes. I know I should have a couple more litter boxes, but I don't have the space for another couple of boxes right now. My question is, for those of you who also have lots of cats, how do you save on litter? It's expensive and I'm looking for the least expensive...

Over the weekend I started noticing pools of diarrhea with blood around the house, some in the litter box and some out. I took a sample to my vet this morning because I don't know which cat (or cats) is/are responsible. I think that there are at least two of them doing it. I caught Yoshi and one...

I got Max neutered today. He's 5 months old. I have had money problems and wasn't able to get the speuters done on my kittens as soon as I wanted to. I haven't gotten the females done yet. The after surgery instructions the vet gave me said that cats can still be fertile for 90 days after...

Has anyone tried this? www.naturesvariety.com I found a place about 13 miles away from me that sells it. I had tried it before, but it was so hard to come by I stopped buying it. I've moved since then and I decided to see if there were any sellers near me, and I got lucky. I don't have to...

Cuddles seemed to have aspirated some wet food on Sunday and I took him to the emergency vet. They did xrays and his lungs were cloudy. I took him to my regular vet the next morning and they prescribed antibiotics. He was on the antibiotics for two days and today, when I gave him his medicine...

Is anybody here familiar with aspiration pneumonia? I have a 5 month old kitten who aspirated some of his food. He's been to the vet and is on antibiotics, but the sound of his breathing has me so worried. The vet said that the only cure for this is time and antibiotics. It's killing me to see...

Cuddles was so excited about some canned food yesterday that he inhaled his food, literally. He took two bites and then stepped back sort of gagging. I thought he was about to puke, but he never puked. He just breathed funny and seemed uncomfortable. When I couldn't stand it anymore, I took him...

Hi! I haven't been here for awhile. Rags's babies are 4.5 months old now and I managed to adopt one out. I took Lovey to a friend of my sister today. I feel kind of sad, but I'm sure she will do better there. She's the only cat there and her new dad will give her all of his attention. My mom is...
